What do boxers, skate skiing, and winter boots all have in common? They are all part of our photoshoot for our new Fall / Winter 2010 products.
It wasn’t easy finding photo models (of the canine and human form alike) that were able to skate ski, fit in our product samples, and recreate off-leash in areas around Bend. But it was nothing a little research and few miles of hiking in the Deschutes Forest couldn’t solve. The bonus…we were able to use a few of our customers as photo models!
In honor of Valentines Day, this month we are featuring stories about how canine companions have inspired us, healed us, and changed our life. We thought we’d begin with a letter written by Ruff Wear Founder, Patrick Kruse, as he recounts the years he spent with his faithful companion and inspiration, Otis—Ruff Wear’s first “product tester.”

We spent Christmas Holiday in Santa Fe and our Labradoodle named “Bodhi” caught a lot of attention from literally hundreds. Everyone who saw us commented on the Bark’ n Boots; many asked where we purchased them (REI Inc.) and what brand they were, and even asked to photograph our dog. Bodhi brought many smiles to everyone.
I had purchased the Bark’ n Boots because we knew temperatures were going to be in the single digits overnight, and with an abundance of ice on the sidewalks, the city and local merchants were liberally de-icing the sidewalks with rock salt, sno-melt etc. The boots were perfect for protecting Bodhi’s paw pads from the cold temperatures and even harsher chemicals.
Thank you for your product.
