Our Story

OUR STORY

Shannon Barnard is Founder and Creative Designer for K9 Bytes. She lives in Roseburg, Oregon.

Shannon earned a degree from the Art Institute of Seattle and then bought a computer business and learned website design.

She started making dog and cat collars more than 20 years ago as a creative outlet which combined her love of pets and arts and crafts.

“It all began with a pattern for fabric dog and cat collars. I knew I had to make some.

Then I created a website and they sold! I stitch these collars with love.

It brings me great pleasure to share my love of dogs and cats with fun, functional products. I enjoy picking out new fabrics to make collars that allow pet parents to express their love for their pets.”

Shannon and Rogue

Besides the lovable Rogue, Shannon has shared her life with Ted E Bear and litter mates, Oreo and Mocha.
