Doggie Bow Ties® Recipe for Dog Bows is my published dog bow instruction that is copyrighted in the Library of Congress; It was written by myself in 2004, revised and supplemented in 2006, and describes my personal techniques, steps, and tips that I use to construct simple dog bows.

I receive many requests to wholesale my dog bows. While I appreciate the interest in my product, I do not wholesale my bows at this time.

Doggie Bow Ties® dog bows are not discounted for volume orders. Sellers who price their bows at $15 and $25 a bow have room to offer discounts for volume sales. I prefer to offer lower competitive pricing for everyone no matter the size of your order, rather than to charge outrageous prices for a bow and then offer a discount. I offer the highest quality product that I can produce, at the lowest price I can reasonably accept for my time, workmanship, and materials.

Doggie Bow Ties® is proud to offer innovative and trendsetting dog bow design in professional show bows and high quality pet dog bows, hence the phrase "Creative Bow Design". All bow designs that I offer are my own ideas and "creations". I will be happy to work with you to create customs designs or to meet special sizing needs that you may have.

It is Doggie Bow Ties® (my) policy to respect the privacy of all customers and site visitors. Therefore, I will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a customer's e-mail or personal information unless required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with the law or comply with legal process served on Doggie Bow Ties®, or to protect and defend the rights or property of Doggie Bow Ties®.

My policy of respect for my clients' privacy requires myself to be very careful with personal information collected during the ordering or communicating process. You can be assured that Doggie Bow Ties® does not sell, rent, or otherwise give access to your personal information to any other company or individual and that Doggie Bow Ties® collects no personal information except when you specifically and knowingly provide that information.
