And it sure seems like it might be worth hitting one of the bigger benched shows or maybe one of those "pet expo" events, either way you'd be getting lots of general visitors as well as the exhibitors, and a nice wide range of breed interests. I'd think that a lot of your regular lineup like the cat barrettes might sell there along with the doggies, since so many folks have multi-pet households...and really even some of your fantasy and wildlife designs might go over too, since I've seen some Akita folks who really go for Japanese art, or wolfhound folks who are into Celtic knotwork, lots of Sibe/Mal folks who adore wolves...or elkhound folks who, in the absence of a lot of elkie stuff to choose from, collect anything moose to go with their moosedogs.
And your stuff would be such a change from all the generic breed t-shirts and keyrings and jewelry and calendars! Show off a few doggie masks like Korky next to photos of the models and maybe that would even be good for some commissions from folks who want something even more unusual than custom pet portraits...
