The Pit Bull Terrier was created by breeding bulldogs and terriers together to produce a dog that combined the gameness and agility of the terrier with the strength of the bulldog. A Pit bull's genetic make up was developed so it would be a good fighting dog. However, this genetic disposition does not mean that all Pit bulls are aggressive or that they are prone to attacking other animals. Pit bulls require the same amount of socialization training as other dogs during puppy-hood, possibly more. Like any dog, a Pit bull that is well socialized is less likely to attack when it feels threatened.

MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommentLabrador Retrievers are the most popular dog breed in the United States. Called Labs for short, people can’t get enough of their charm and lovability. Labs are also very altruistic. Your good-hearted friend who likes to help the elderly cross the street? They’ve got nothing on a Lab. These dogs are gentle, intelligent, and easy to train, making them excellent guide dogs for the blind, loyal members of search-and-rescue teams, and faithful K-9 officers.

26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 8
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommentThe Chihuahua is a saucy little hot tamale and not just because of his association with a certain fast-food Mexican restaurant. He's renowned for being the world's smallest dog, but he may well have the world's biggest personality stashed inside that tiny body. Fun loving and busy, Chihuahuas like nothing better than to be close to their people.
26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 7
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommentDo you know the Bulldog is the official mascot of the United States Marine Corps, and thirty-nine American universities use a Bulldog as their mascot? This friendly, gregarious, and willful breed is quite impressive, huh? he Bulldog is among dogdom's most easily recognized citizens: The loose skin of the head, furrowed brow, pushed-in nose, small ears, undershot jaw with hanging chops on either side, and the distinctive rolling gait all scream “I'm a Bulldog!” from a block away. The Bulldog coat, seen in a variety of colors and patterns, is short, smooth, and glossy. The sum of these parts is a thick-set, low-slung, well-muscled bruiser whose distinctive "sourmug" face has become the universal symbol of courage and tenacity.
26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 6
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommentt’s not surprising that Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. Along with being exuberant and friendly, they are strong dogs and hard workers. Goldens are good at whatever they do, be it hunting, serving as guide dogs, working search-and-rescue, or being devoted companions. Golden Retriever ranks fourth following the Border Collie, Poodle, and German Shepherd – as one of the brightest dogs ranked by obedience-command trainability. Though they are serious about their work, they also enjoy being downright silly!
26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 5
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommentMaltese are extremely lively, playful, affectionate, fearless, gentle, intelligent and sweet-tempered. They adore humans, and always prefer to stay near them. So much love in such a small body! Maltese are toy dogs weighing less than seven pounds, covered by a long, silky coat. Beneath that all-white mantle is a compact body moving with a smooth, effortless gait. The overall picture depicts free-flowing elegance and balance. The Maltese face—with its big, dark eyes and black gumdrop nose—has been enchanting owners since the Bible was a work in progress. Don’t let the showy looks fool you: These are hearty, adaptable pets. It takes a whole lot of dog to survive three millennia.
26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 4
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveComment"Dog people" and "Cat people" really do have different personalities, according to a new study. People who said they were dog lovers in the study tended to be more lively -- meaning they were more energetic and outgoing -- and also tended to follow rules closely. Cat lovers, on the other hand, were more introverted, more open-minded and more sensitive than dog lovers. Cat people also tended to be non-conformists, preferring to be expedient rather than follow the rules.
26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 3
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommenthis affectionate and playful breed—known for its wrinkly, smushy face and bat-like ears—is a great companion for single pet parents as well as families with young children. They need little exercise and grooming and are incredibly loyal to their people. Because of their somewhat stubborn nature, they require a bit of patience during training but are incredibly intelligent and eager to please.
26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 2
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommentBostons are compact, short-tailed, well-balanced little dogs weighing no more than 25 pounds. The breed is famous for its “tuxedo” coat: white and either black, brindle (a dark striped pattern), or seal (dark brown). The muzzle is short and the eyes are large, dark, and round, giving Bostons a kind and intelligent expression that can melt the coldest heart.
26 Days of Mochi & Jolie - Day 1
MoJo Events, Product Product, What We LoveCommentInspired by "25 Days of Christmas", we are launching a special series of our own - "26 Days of Mochi & Jolie". With all of our love, we have been focusing on designing and creating Jewelry and Watch pieces for dog and cat lovers throughout this year. We devoted the full 2014 to our most loyal, selfless 4 legged companions and no matter what the future holds for us, we want them to know they will always be loved and treasured, and they are family forever.
Let's start the Day 1 of "26 Days of Mochi & Jolie" - Beagle! Beagle is intelligent, amiable, determined, and gentle. In the United States the Beagle ranked 4th most popular breed in both 2012 and 2013. Not only are Beagles excellent hunting dogs and loyal companions, they are also happy-go-lucky, funny, and—thanks to their pleading expression—cute. They were bred to hunt in packs, so they enjoy the company of other dogs and of people as well. Beagles love to follow their noses, which can sometimes get them into sticky situations. These dogs are solid, sturdy, and fairly easy to care for, but they do need to run around and let off steam.
So we headed to New York...
MoJo Events, Behind the CurtainCommentWe packed all of our jewels and watches and headed to New York two weeks ago . Things didn't started smoothly for us first - we missed our fight for the first time ever! And there was no more non-stop flight to New York left on that day and the only option was to get on a flight to Minneapolis–Saint Paul first, and then connected to another flight to New York. Hardly slept for ten minutes the whole night, we landed in JFK as one piece and headed to the show venue immediately... The rest was history.
We met lots of nice people and made friends with our fabulous and talented neighbors. It was super fun, exciting and utterly exhausting - the common symptoms of a professional show goer.
The weather was beautiful in New York. Not too hot and humid in the month of August, we considered ourselves very lucky. The food was always delicious there, and we even tried out the famous "croissant donut". It was yummy!
We always adore New York, and will go back there again soon! :)

Back to the hotel after a long, hard day work at the show, Mochi tucked herself in comfortably.
Last day at the show, even Mochi was tired.
Well, you know where to find Jolie... :)
Finally, the show was over and we were on our way back. The bosses insisted on sharing the front seats. Good bye, Vegas! We shall see you again soon! :)

Super Zoo 2011 -- Las Vegas
MoJo EventsCommentIt is always good to visit Las Vegas once a while, especially in September, because that is when Super Zoo is on.
This year, Super Zoo was a sold out show. There were still companies on the waiting list trying to get a booth to exhibit. What a booming industry! Lots of people visited our booth, old friends, new faces, and felt like we barely had a moment stop talking for a while. Though the overall economy is still not fully recovered yet, but we noticed quite a few brand new boutique stores are opening everywhere. Those new store owners are young, ambitious, and full of fresh ideas. We love to see new blood come in and bring fresh concepts and ideas to this industry. And hopefully they will bring more great products and services to the customers and their pups! What a great show it was! Fun, exciting, and inspiring!
So long, Vegas, for now. We will be back next year this time again. Till then, enjoy life and stay well!
California Gift Show (July 22 - 25, 2011)
MoJo EventsComment
This summer we attended our very first non-pet show: California Gift Show in Los Angeles. It is a very different experience for us and we have made many new friends. It is specially happy for us to see some familiar faces when we were there.
Since this is a non-pet show, buyers are from all kind of different fields. 7 out of 10 buyers walked into our booth and thought all these clothes are made for human babies and kids. When they were told these are for the pups, they all laughed and amazed. We took that as a compliment every time. :)
