John,

There cannot be hair on the articles. Each set of articles will be comprised of five identical objects, which may be items of everyday use. The size of the articles will be proportionate to the size of the dog.

Thank you for asking!

Hi Janice,

The material I use is leather with the hair still on. This is genuine real leather. Why would this leather not be acceptable to use? If I made my articles half black and half white, identical in looks, would this be following your rules? I not, please explain why.

Secondly, you state that” Each set of articles will be comprised of five identical objects, which may be items of everyday use. The size of the articles will be proportionate to the size of the dog.”

That would be an incorrect statement as the articles are numbered from 1 to 5. That would mean that these articles are NOT IDENTICAL. Please debate this statement.

Best Regards,

John Schumacher

We sent out 2 proto types to the West Coast and the East Coast. This is Hair on Hide genuine leather. We did our best to match the customers request. Now, please don't get excited yet. We are awaiting comments from judges if this is acceptable as an article. Just want to show you we are thinking out of the box.
