I've been a dog lover and crafter since childhood and over the years have put the two together to make things for dogs who've owned us.

I feel that many people are losing touch with their creativity and resourcefulness due to increasing technology and being encouraged to buy stuff rather than make do. To help keep it real, my husband and I started a website in 2006, Make And Build Dog Stuff (http://www.make-and-build-dog-stuff.com).

We provide lots of free instructions with photos for making all sorts of things, with new pages being added periodically... You can save yourself a ton of money by doing things yourself - and you learn new skills and get a wonderful satisfaction that money just can't buy. So come on over and browse around!
