Ladies and gentlemen, this is Elvis! Elvis loves working with his humans Andie Weinman and Joe Murphy, owners of Continental Buying Group. The 5-year-old, 5 pound Toy Poodle never misses a CBG Show. He is a star that never meets a stranger. He travels extensively with Andie and Joe on behalf of CBG. Elvis sits in on CBG meetings, lending Andie moral support. At shows he assists CBG’s head of security. When not wearing his security jacket, he’s usually sporting his signature jean jacket. Elvis is not just good looking, he’s also very talented. He has a long list of tricks, and understands English, Spanish, Hebrew and even a little Russian. Last year in Vegas he walked the LeVian Red Carpet with Andie and he has just completed a photo shoot for Neiman Marcus.

Say hello to Freddy! Freddy is the newest addition to the team at The Diamond Room by Spektor in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Weighing in at an energetic 10 lbs, the 7-month-old Cockapoo loves to great all The Diamond Room’s customers. Kind of like a Pavlov’s dog, the second he hears the buzzer he’s gone. He’s living the good life working alongside his human Coby Spektor, son of store-owner Alon Spektor. Freddy loves to run up and down the hallways and take long naps under Coby’s desk. Everyone loves having Freddy at the store.

In memory of Minnie. Minnie was an Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler). She was a bit of a runt, weighing only 24 lbs (average is well over 30), but more than made up for that with her attitude. Minnie was an eager shop companion and loved to go to work almost every day with her human Chris Ploof at the Chris Ploof Designs studio in Central Massachusetts. She was known for her incredibly sassy disposition, and worked as Head of Security. Minnie loved a good game of catch and had serious tennis ball and Frisbee skills. She was a great trail dog and loved mountain biking. She is sorely missed. Rest in peace, Minnie!
