 Jennifer Ritchie, President Skookum Designs began with the purchase of our Chocolate Labrador Retriever, Skookum. He is a trained hunting dog, competing in Hunt Tests, and is a Senior Hunter. I have spent 18 years working as a 911 dispatcher, and I have a diploma in Interior Design. I'm an avid sewer and designer, and thrive on creating unique products. I've had the opportunity to design products for the Movie Industry, and I have also created unique designs for companies looking for their own products. Feel free to inquire about custom products for your business. "Dogs make you feel like someone pretty special everyday." SH SOMEDAY RETRIEVER'S SKOOKUM Skookum is our 6 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever. He is from Linda Cline's Kennel - Someday Retriever's. He is the most gentle and understanding dog, but put him in the field and watch out! My husband is an avid bird hunter and Skookum is his pride and joy. Stitz's Sapphire Thumbelina Bella is our blue Chihuahua, and is from Stitz's Kennel in North Carolina. She is my amazing model, with an attitude. She is everything I wanted in a lap dog. Her brother was recently awarded the Guiness Record as the smallest dog.
