So what makes us beachdogs? We are top dogs in graphic arts, web development and tourism marketing. We often work with newshounds. We’re loyal, fun-loving, tourism-fetching, award-winning show dogs, barking up the right tree on your behalf. We worry on a bone until we get it right. We work like dogs. We play like pups. We’re strong supporters of our local shelter. AND, we don’t think it’s a coincidence that Sirius, the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the constellation. Oh yeah, and we LOVE living and working at the beach!

Motto: You will prosper in the pursuit of sticks Usually in the kennel: when not sleeping Creativity combined with enthusiasm and structure make Kel the driving force behind most projects. Our company’s founder, Keleigh takes ‘being beachdog’ very seriously.

Motto: Kibble counting is my game Usually in the kennel: M-T: 9am – 5pm, W: 9am – 4pm Guardian of the door, the phone, client records and all things in need of her outstanding people, organization and analytical skills, Sue keeps the rest of us sane. Well, she tries to. Even then, it’s only three days a week. When Sue goes on vacation, the place goes to the dogs. Sue lives with husband Gary and two gorgeous Golden Retrievers, Colonel & Bonnie (when she’s not golfing). |

Motto: Pooches Gracias Usually in the kennel: T: 10am – 4pm, W: 10am – 5pm, Th: 9am – 5pm Wendy comes to us with a dark and mysterious past… Not really. Truth is, she’s an awesome artist, fabulous hair stylist and parent extraordinaire, along with hubby Del, of two gorgeous children. Thanks to Wendy, the rest of us have two extra hands when we need them, which is pretty much all the time. AND, she is quite the Jake The Alligator Man expert, organizing and orchestrating his annual birthday bash on the second Saturday of August. It’s fun and freakish frivolity, Peninsula-wide. |

Motto: “woof” is the new “meow” Usually in the kennel: M-Th: 10am – 8:30pm Smart as poodle and as enthusiastic as a terrier, Sabrina is happy as a flea in a doghouse to have two computers and three monitors on her desk (one for each of her cats?). With an unquenchable thirst for learning, and organizational talents that leap tall buildings in a single bound, Sabrina’s skill set expands more quickly than Neopolitan Mastiff’s skin. We’re thrilled to have her–and to abuse the world of dog simile in introducing her to you. |

Motto: To code or not to code, that is the question Usually in the kennel: M-Th: 8am – 6:30pm Karl wasn’t’ sure what kind of dog he was so he took the dogster.com quiz. The verdict? Karl is a Labrador Retriever, the Caretaker. His family is what makes him tick, and he’ll never “flea” from an opportunity to hang out with the whole gang. His sparky temperament and dogged intelligence mean he is not only a blast to hang out with, but great to work with as well. Close pals appreciate his patience and forgiveness, knowing he’d rather let sleeping dogs lie than dwell on the mishaps of the past. Database design and large monitors are better than anything (except maybe a good scratch behind the ears). |

Motto: Stop and smell EVERYTHING (except maybe the doodie) Usually in the kennel: except when he’s not Who else do you know who enjoys research and sales as much as basking in the sun on an exotic island? His track record in website marketing and project advertising sales speaks for itself. Keith’s officially retired these days, but we keep finding him hanging out with our Underdogs, doing his magic on a project basis. When he wants time off, Keith claims “Insufficient Memory @ This Time”. |

Motto:Bites the hand that doesn’t feed… “human food”. Usually in the kennel: T-W: 10am – 4pm On a crisp, cool night, David stepped in as one who was destined to pick up the falling pieces. …He just had to learn how to first. Throughout his rigorous training, he learned the skills necessary to maintain a healthy life, and is now able to live on grub intended for the upper-class dogs. David always likes things big as well as efficient. This is true with computers, programs, and websites (and paychecks). He’d play computer games on the job, if his thumbs weren’t removed and placed in the locker during normal work hours for that very reason. But most of all, David loves working with people (and going on walks), and finding that extra-special thing that clients want added to their project. |

Kara Motto: Bird-dogs are great for music, because they’re both woofers and tweeters. Usually in the kennel: not! Kara knows more about facebook than one person should have time to learn. She’s the voice of the Long Beach Peninsula on the popular social networking site. Become her friend [www.facebook.com/funbeach] and be sure to fan the Visitors Bureau page there [www.facebook.com/longbeachpeninsula]. You’ll also find her helping out with our local no-kill shelter site [www.beachpets.com] and their facebook presence [www.facebook.com/beachpets] and a variety of other business, event and fan pages. We’re convinced she doesn’t sleep. |

Motto: I AM the dog and pony show Usually in the kennel: and on the most comfortable bed or sofa available. Sweet Perdi is a Harlequin Great Dane and a smidge on the small side at 130 pounds. She’s quite a sensitive, girly-girl, princess while indoors and a bundle of bounding joy outside. Perdi prefers snuggling up to women and girls, but she warms to men pretty quickly. If she makes noise in your direction, she’s most likely afraid of you, something a cookie quickly rectifies (we keep a supply handy). Ask Miss Perdi to show you her favorite yoga position (downward facing dog), but only ask for a hug and a kiss if you really mean it–she does. |

Motto: A scratch, in time, saves nine. Usually in the kennel: as often as possible; Lilly LOVES greeting her public! Lilly joined our pack after a wonderful, if too long, stay at Deaf Dane Rescue in Oakridge, Oregon. She is also a Harlequin Dane but she’s almost completely without spots. Lilly came to us six years old, going on puppy. She loves to chase lasers, cookies and tennis balls and will lean in for a hug when you least expect one. She is particularly fond of men who like to play rough but is gentle as a kitten with women and kids. Her blue eyes make some folks think she’s blind. She does have some vision issues but her eye color is caused by the same genes that made her beautifully white and deaf. Don’t tell Lilly; she doesn’t know she’s deaf and doesn’t see so well. If you’d like to learn more about why so many white dogs are deaf and/or blind, or learn the genetics that explain they are NOT albino, click here. |

Motto: A fool and his cookie are soon parted Usually in the kennel: Kara crossed the rainbow bridge on January 21, 2009 When founding beachdog.com back in 1996, we thought long about what to name the company. We wanted the name to express the ideals we had for our business; can-do attitude, constant learning, chutzpah, determination, beauty, creativity, loyalty, passion, fun, play, giving more than you take. It suddenly occurred to us that the reason we so adored our beloved shelter mutt was that she exemplified all these qualities. And so beachdog.com found its moniker. She is deeply missed by anyone who ever spent time with her. Gratefully, that was many. Our photo tribute to Karadog. |

Motto: The fox knows many things – the hedgehog, one big one Usually in the kennel: When you least expect it Oscar reminds us all to stay focused while managing unsolicited telemarketing calls, visits from drop-in salesmen and all of the office spam. He’s a little nutty about his job, but we like him that way. |
