First Ever Pet Accessories Honoring the King of Rock ’n
Roll®
The new Hound Dog™ Collection is a celebration of Elvis’
penchant for pets, his incomparable style, and the spirit
of his much-loved hit records.
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 9, 2004 -– Look for more Elvis sightings
at dog parks this year, thanks to the new Hound Dog™ Collection
of pet accessories from Fox & Hounds Ltd. under an agreement
with Elvis Presley Enterprises. Debuting at Licensing Show
International at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New
York City (Booth 1533), the Hound Dog Collection features
an array of accessories that capture the King of Rock ‘n Roll’s
penchant for pets, his incomparable style, and the spirit
of his much-loved hit records.
Whether it’s a cozy cable sweater reminiscent of Elvis in
the ‘50s, or a sparkling collar that cries Viva Las Vegas™,
the Hound Dog Collection is perfect for every pooch – hound
or otherwise. Other products sure to get dogs all shook up
are rugged denim jackets featuring Elvis and a beloved basset,
a Jailhouse Rock™ striped tee and cap for those Halloween
hounds, plush toys in the shape of Blue Suede Shoes™, body-hugging
black tees with “Elvis” in red rhinestones, Love Me Tender™
collars and an army jacket commemorating Presley’s military
service. Completing the line is a matching treat jar and feeding
bowl made of black and white ceramic that showcases Elvis’
signature and popular film clips. Elvis enthusiasts can log
onto www.foxandhounds.com
for shopping resources. Suggested retail prices range from
$12 to $80.
"Along with his number one hit, Hound Dog, Elvis was a longtime
animal lover," said Robin Kershner, President and CEO of Fox
and Hounds Ltd., a leading pet accessory manufacturer based
in Alexandria, Va. "From Great Danes and Chows to Poodles
and Pomeranians, Elvis always had dogs at Graceland. It’s
only fitting that his very large and loyal following celebrate
his memory and their pets with items inspired by his life.”
The association with one of the most famous, popular and
enduring entertainers in American history certainly makes
the Hound Dog Collection more exciting than ordinary pet supplies.
However, Kershner is quick to point out that the new line
goes far beyond the fun of its famous name. “The Hound Dog
Collection offers attractively designed, quality products
that stand very well on their own merits,” she continued.
“The Elvis connection just lends an alluring added dimension.”
In addition to the Hound Dog Collection accessories launching
in June, more whimsical and wonderful products are slated
for release later this year, including toys in the shapes
of microphones, guitars and hound dogs, a record-shaped bed,
peanut butter and banana treats, and polo shirts adorned with
Elvis’ image and his mantra – “taking care of business.” With
plans to produce a glittering gold tuxedo and tight white
American Eagle jumpsuit ideal for the Vegas strip, dogs everywhere
can count on basking in the limelight no matter what their
star quality.
Fox & Hounds is proud to release the Hound Dog Collection
in 2004 – the year Graceland marks as the 50th anniversary
of the launch of Elvis’ career and the explosion of rock ‘n
roll. Elvis recorded his first single, That’s All Right, in
July of 1954 at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tenn. – an event universally
regarded as the catalyst for bringing rock ‘n roll music to
the forefront.
Established in 1996 and based in Alexandria, Va., Fox & Hounds
is a leading manufacturer of stylish and high-quality accessories
for dogs and cats, including collars, leads, bedding, carriers,
toys and ceramics. Fox & Hounds products can be found at hundreds
of pet boutiques nationwide, on the web at www.foxandhounds.com
and by calling 703-655-8341.
