Every now and then someone has an amazing business story. Such was the case while taking Daniel and Jennifer Williams of Louisville out sailing along the York River on a brilliant and warm afternoon.
“I’ve got my own business,” Jennifer said. “We make stuffed animals of your pet. It started as an MBA project and took several years to develop. We’re now six years into the business. You can find it at cuddleclones.com. I have 15 employees in Louisville and 35 in a workshop in China.
“We work from pictures that people send us. The chihuahua is our top dog, followed by the pit bull. It’s difficult to do bulldogs because all the wrinkles in the face require very tight stitching. We don't make their coats from hair, but rather fur because it has to be cuddly.
“We met a woman who went to Thailand to adopt two children, but it was important that they love her two dogs. She couldn't take the dogs to Thailand, so she hired us to clone them and took the clones with her as gifts to the kids. Everything worked out fine.
“Another woman had two dogs and one of them died. The surviving dog no longer wanted to sleep in the dog bed. She had us clone the dog as a stuffed animal, and now the two of them sleep fine in the bed together.” www.williamsburgchartersails.com
