| Sportydog.com is a part of GlamourDog.com. LOVE Glamour Dog! However, in my opinion those cheerleader dresses look very cheap and are way overpriced for the quality you are getting. I got a wonderfully made custom cheerleading dress from The Chloe Bella Pet Boutique for a cheaper price and the quality is GREAT.

| Yes They are mine and he wanted to sell them. However the pleated ones are a new design he wanted me to make. Trust me they are not cheap made at all. My mom and I are very anal about our products! We measure every fold and every pleat and we do all this by hand. These are not mass produced items and are custom fit and design. I draw all the logos and spend about 2 hours on each logo working it out just perfect. Wow that is very offensive when you have never ordered anything from me and could say that about this product? That is fine that you found a wonderful cheer outfit from Chloe and she does make nice products I will not dispute that but they are no nicer than mine. I line every item that goes out of here and if you purchase a dress with lace all my lace is sewn inside the dress for durability. If you order a harness outfit I use a 2000lb test weight webbing inside the d-ring strap for the safety of the pet. Trust me my quality is second to none. In the future you may want to order something before commenting on the quality. I would never say anything about anyone elses product unless I saw it first. I can say first hand that ordering from the china market you get mass produced cheep quality products but most people like Tinkerbells closet, Chloe Bella, Sassy-Petwear, and a few others are very conscience aobut the quality because we started by making for our own pets first and we wouldn't sell anything that our own pets wouldn't wear. Thanks and I didn't mean to offend anyone by mentioning the cheer outfits on Sportydog.com. He does mark the outfits higher to make a profit but he isn't make a whole lot of profit anyway because the quality of my products again are wonderful and its just my mother (75) and myself (45) making these outfits. We have alot of clients that say they will never order anywhere else after seeing our quality. I am sure Chloe Belle and Tinkerbell have the same thing when people order from them. We do work hard at making items that will last the lifetime of the pet. I figure when you purchase an outfit for a dog that you want it to last the duration and with Sassy-Petwear that is what you will get unless you have a dog that chews it up hehe. I have made an ovarian cancer and breast cancer dress for charity. The breast cancer money goes to Paws parade of hope in Green Bay WI and the ovarian cancer money will be going to 2nd chance rescue in Acton, CA If anyone is interested in making donations to either of these charities please contact me and I can give you the info you need. The Paws Parade you can write off on taxes but not the 2nd chance rescue. Here are pics of those 2 dresses. They are $22.99 each and $12.00 of each sale goes to the charities. The rest is to cover expenses. Thanks Melinda McKnights Majestic Shih tzus |

| It's actually against YT rules to write a review about a product you make or sell as it's a conflict of interest. Reviews are for others to state their experiences and give their opinions on products. There is a "Seller Feedback" forum for vendors to start threads asking opinions about the products they make or sell I certainly didn't mean to offend you, but this is a review forum and you're going to get opinions on products..both good and bad. If it were a for-sale thread or feedback thread, I wouldn't have given any negative comments at all...but you posted a review thread asking if we've seen the designs and I gave my opinion on the product. i look at Glamourdog.com almost every day to see new products added to their site, and I have shopped at the store in Frisco, TX SEVERAL time. I buy a lot of dog clothes and am very picky about what my dogs wear. I won't change my statement above as it truly is my opinion of the product I'm seeing. I just personally feel like The Chloe Bella Pet Boutique has a more affordable and better product, and another great custom-cheerleading dress maker is go.fetch™. Again..I don't mean to offend you but you posted a "review" thread asking about thoughts on a product and I gave my opinion

| Again I don't have a problem with your comments but you have never purchased from me so again i can't see where the comment was warranted. Pic don't always do a product justice. Well again I know that Chloe Belle makes great products because I have seen some of her work but again mine are just as nice as her quality. Thanks so much Melinda Quote:

| I was at GlamourDog Wednesday and did see one of these cheerleader dresses in person. I stand by what I said above. I personally was not impressed with the product.

| Well I am happy that you have decided my products aren't for you. That's why it is great there are alot of people that make pet clothing so there is something for every taste. Which one did he have in the store? I don't remember making any for him to place in his store? I have just made for dropship? So I am confused about what you may have seen? It is possible I guess but once again I am happy that you have found a place to purchase your product and you are happy with it. Thanks for your feedback MyFairLacy we appreciate all feedback that helps us strive to produce even better quality. We are continually looking for ways to improve. Most people get slack after years in the business but we improve. We have been offered a mass production contract but its not about the money for my mother and I. It is about a labor of love. We love our pets and we have plenty of them hehe. I know other people love their babies like we do and we want to help outfit them. So if we were in it for the money I guess we could have sold out to a China factory like other people have and then our name wouldn't have stood for the quality that we strive for. Again I appreciate your feedback and look forward to any way you can see that we could improve on this product. We are always happy to hear wether it be good or bad.

| Pom Poms yes I make them of yard and elastic for the paws and for the hairbows I use either rubber bands or barrette clips (customer choice). My pups won a costume contest sporting there Panthers cheer outfits last year. We were excited because that was the first time we had ever entered them in a contest. Thanks Melinda |
