User:Paddlingboarding/Lazy Dog (Key West)

Lazy Dog is a Key West, Florida based kayak, paddleboard and Lazy Dog brand clothing company. Founded in 1999, the company was inspired by a faithful border collie named Camillo. His owner, David Richard, drew the original logo of his dog and soon joined forces with his good friend Sue Cooper and her border collie Molly to create Lazy Dog Island Outfitters and Outdoor Adventure Company. Today, the company has expanded its Lazy Dog brand around its kayak tour and rental business and has added a full line of standup paddleboards to their mix. Standup paddleboarding is one the fastest growing sports in America.

Lazy Dog philosophy and mission statement Life is an adventure…a journey that should be met with a wide open mind. The Lazy Dog brand was conceived out of affection for a single faithful pet. All of our designs are actual dogs from our hometown, Key West, Florida. We at Lazy Dog believe in what we do and would like to inspire other to do the same. So find your passion and make it your life’s work.

The Lazy Dog Brand The Lazy Dog brand has expanded from the original design and company logo to designs including dogs kayaking, paddleboarding, kiteboarding, and the most popular design of the original Lazy Dog in a hammock with the Lazy Dog trademark motto We Do More In A Week Than Most People Do All Day. A unique feature of the Lazy dog designs is that all the Lazy Dog drawn for the shirts are actual dogs. Show up at the Lazy Dog Paddle Shack at the Hurricane Hole Marina in Key West, Florida and you will come across many of the dogs you see on the shirts. All the shirts are available on the official Lazy Dog website [www.lazydog.com]
