WELCOME TO THE WORKING MONGREL
DISCOVER OUR STORY & GET TO KNOW US
WHY THE
' WORKING MONGREL' ?
A LOT OF PEOPLE TOLD US IN THE EARLY STAGES THAT OUR NAME
WAS PRETTY DAMN UGLY. SO WHY DIDN'T WE LISTEN TO THEM & CHANGE IT? SIMPLY PUT, WE WANTED SOMETHING THAT WASN'T INTIMIDATING.
​
WE DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME TO MOVE PAST THE BOOMER ERA OF
DOGS WHERE HILLARY CLINTON'S WARDROBE WAS #GOALS FOR
DOG SPORTS, THE DOMINANCE THEORY WAS THE BIBLE, & AN AKC
PEDIGREE EQUALED THE GOLDEN STANDARD FOR DEFINING A DOG'S
WORTH. WHILE WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT HOLDING OUR PRODUCT'S TO
HIGH STANDARDS, WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EVERY DOG HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BUILD DRIVE, THE CAPABILITY OF ENGAGEMENT, &
THE GENUINE LOVE FOR A 'JOB'. AFTER ALL, THAT'S WHY ALL BREEDS
WERE CREATED.
​
THE 'WORKING MONGREL' WAS INSPIRED BY OUR FOUNDER'S
WORKING DOG, 'SAKO', WHO IS BY NO MEANS A SPECIAL PEDIGREE. IN FACT, HE'S THE EXACT OPPOSITE. WE'VE COME TO FIND THAT LOOKING GOOD ON PAPER ISN'T ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE. BUT RATHER WHAT MAKES A TRULY REMARKABLE DOG IS THE DEDICATION, PASSION, EMPATHY, & HONEST WORK THAT US DOG PARENTS PUT INTO BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CANINE PARTNERS. WE WELCOME ALL WALKS OF DOG PARENT'S, APPROACHING DOG EDUCATION & RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP WITH A LIGHT-HEARTED ATTITUDE THROUGH OUR PRODUCTS. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BACKGROUND, YOUR GOALS, & YOUR DOG SPORTS EQUATE TO, WE LIKE TO CELEBRATE PEOPLE WHO SHARE OUR COMMON THREAD OF OUR LOVE FOR DOGS.
​
OUR JOURNEY
OUR FOUNDER SPENDS HER
CHILDHOOD COLLECTING DOG BOOKS, READING DOGFANCY, FILLING HER SKETCH BOOK WITH DOGS, & WATCHING ANIMAL PLANET.
SHE'S RECOVERING FROM SURGERY WHEN
THE WORLD SHUTS DOWN & LITERALLY LOSES
HER MIND WHILE STARTING A NEW PROJECT IN LOCKDOWN. THE WORKING MONGREL BUSINESS
PLAN IS DRAFTED (& CHANGED A MILLION TIMES), & THE BRAND IS BORN.
AFTER GETTING HER 1ST ADULT JOB, SHE ADOPTS A FERAL GERMAN SHEPHERD FROM
A PUPPY MILL WHO SHE NAMES 'SAKO'. WHEN HE BECOMES NORMAL-ISH, SHE RECEIVES A LIFE ALTERING DIAGNOSIS & THEY START A NEW JOURNEY TOGETHER.
IN HIGHSCHOOL SHE WORKS AT A
VETERINARY CLINIC, SHOCKING HER
WHOLE FAMILY WHEN SHE RUNS OFF TO NYC TO ATTEND COLLEGE FOR FASHION DESIGN. FUN FACT: SHE GRADUATES WITH A BFA IN INTIMATE APPAREL DESIGN.
