25.01.2022 Its not every day that you see a pair of pet ducks enjoying a day at the beach. Sunny & Jemima were their names. Ernie was intrigued as the rest of us. Perhaps pet ducks are another untapped market for The Little Dane. Probably not the largest of markets but a market nonetheless! #bostonterrier #beachducks #southaustralianbeaches #brightonbeach

25.01.2022 Im pleased to announce that a new darker timber option will soon be available for The Little Dane. American Cherry is a medium reddish brown and offers an alternative to the lighter American Oak. Im excited to finish the first house in this lovely timber and get it up on the website and my social media for you all to see.

24.01.2022 Check out our happy customer from Brisbane in his brand new Dapperhound house! He definitely has the dog model pose down pat. What a cute little fellow. There is still time to order your pup their very own house in time for Christmas...but be quick. Would also make a truly unique present for a lucky family member and their dog. This one wouldnt end up in the re-gifting cupboard that is for sure! Ask us about the current discount. https://dapperhound.com.au

23.01.2022 I thought it would be interesting (to some at least) to describe the process that went into working out how to apply the timber topcoat. It took a lot of time and experimentation to get a finish that was both durable and smooth enough to satisfy my exacting ( i.e. perfectionist) standards! After finally finding the best product for the job (an Australian made marine-grade satin polyurethane) I went through evert suggested applicator I could find natural brushes, synthetic b...rushes, cheap and expensive brushes, various rollers, cotton rags, lambs wool, and even cotton wool stuffed inside a stocking! While some of these gave OK results, none came close to that factory finish I was looking for. I finally tried using the HVLP (high volume, low pressure) spray gun that I use for the white painted sections of the house. This method gives a beautifully smooth result with paint that could never be achieved with a brush or roller. I was a little intimidated to use the spray gun with oil based poly and various woodworking forums and experts on Youtube said this was unnecessary and going over the top etc. I decided to ignore that and Im glad I did! The HVLP spray method, once the gun and air compressor are tweaked to the correct settings, gives a beautifully smooth and even coating. Again it looks close to something a factory machine might produce virtually impossible, in my opinion, with a brush or any of the other applicators I tried. The final method I came to involves applying two heavily diluted soak coats with a brush before applying at least 3 more top-coats coats with the spray gun. There is 8 hours minimum drying time between coats and only two of the four sides can be sprayed each time so this part is a very long process! Well worth it when I (and my customers) see the end result. There are no shortcuts to achieve a beautiful and durable finish for a piece of furniture like The Little Dane.

23.01.2022 I have always been interested in how the things that surround us are made - the design, techniques and production methods we take for granted. I thought it was time to share images of some of the processes involved in producing The Little Dane. A lengthy but fulfilling process! This particular house is heading to a lucky pup in sunny Brisbane. https://dapperhound.com.au

17.01.2022 The most intricate and time consuming part of making The Little Dane is forming the legs. It is also very creatively satisfying and highlights the purposeful use of plywood patterning in the design. Here are some images of the sanding and finishing that is required before the polyurethane coating is applied. There is a lot of careful marking, masking and sanding! I really like how the hand sanded bevel on the edges reveals layers of the birch plywood and blends into the oak veneer. These are the little details that might not be noticed at first glance but are part of the subtle aesthetic that I put so much time into developing. @ Adelaide, South Australia

16.01.2022 Ernie has a serious beach habit - as you can see. The kids sandpit provides a quick fix, but its nothing like the real thing! This is the intense stare I get when he senses Im about to announce a family trip to the beach.

15.01.2022 Take a look at some unpublished photos of The Little Dane along with an interesting article on Scandinavian design - the greatest influence on the style of Dapperhound. https://www.huset.com.au//a-look-at-modern-scandinavian-f/

09.01.2022 What appears to be the result of a bull ant attack is, in fact, Ernies reaction to encountering thick scratchy grass and celebrating with a vigorous squiggle. Does your dog enjoy this practice also? There are much worse things he could be writhing around in! https://dapperhound.com.au/

06.01.2022 The Melbourne Dog Lovers show was great for meeting interesting people with quality products. One of the friendly attendees who approached my stand was Rachel from Genki Pet @genkipetau . She was impressed with the unique design and handmade quality of my product. She told me about her Aromatherapy spritzes for cats, dogs and humans that she formulates and produces herself. This sounded interesting, but as a scent sceptic I was unsure whether it would be something I would u...se personally. When Rachels 3 spritzes arrived for me to sample I was very impressed and found them to be perfectly balanced and you can smell the quality essential oils in them. I especially like Moving & Grooving and Im spraying it in my car, on Ernies bedding and many other places. This is not something I would usually do, so that is a testament to the attractiveness of these products. Just like The Little Danes convenient dual-use design, Genki Pet spritzes are formulated for both pets and humans. I highly recommend you getting in touch with Rachel or heading over to the web site to read more about the benefits of her products. @genkipetau genkipet.com.au [email protected] 0435 826 096 . . . . . #genkipet #genkipetau #aromatherapyforpets #forpetsandtheirpeople #healthierhappierpets #stillnessandcalm #madeinmelbourne #dogsarefamilytoo #dogstyle #dogloversofinstagram #dogfriendly #lifewithdogs #healthydogs #activedogs #scandinaviandesign #furniture #dapperhound_houses #handmadefurniture #originaldesign #doglovershow #bostonterrier #frenchbulldog #pug #dachshund #australianmade #dogbed #catbed #dapperhound #frenchiesofinstagram

05.01.2022 The art of blending into your environment...or attempting to anyway. Not easy for a black and white dog to hide on a giant pile of garishly coloured kids dress-ups.

02.01.2022 The Melbourne Dog Lovers Show @thedogloversshow was a fantastic event for so many reasons but my number #1 highlight was meeting the legendary Squid the Griff @squidthegriff and his parents! Having this little guy pop into The Little Dane house and settle down for some photos was an exceptionally cool experience. I was pretty star struck and unlike most celebrity meetings you dont get to hold them under your arm for a pic (see image 2). It is also reasonably unlikely that ...they will lick your nose! #squidthegriff #grumpygriffons #dogswithbeards #everydayimbrusseling #griffonbruxellois #instagriff #doglovershow #bostonterrier #pug #australianmade #dogbed #catbed #midcenturymodern #scandinaviandesign #dapperhound_houses #handmadefurniture #originaldesign #cavoodle #sidetable #melbournedogs #bedsidetable #yorkie #westie #chihuahua #frenchiesofmelbourne #frenchiesofinstagram #smalldogs #dachshundsofinstagram #oneofakind
