Meet Holly Bear: a "Bad Dog" Newfoundland resting up for a celebration of Halloween festivities.

 

Ron has had 5 purebred "Newfies" and one mixed breed, a Flat Coated Retriever which is part "Newfie." He also has a yellow lab, a dachshund-beagle mixed breed, a bernadoodle and a cavapoo. Together they often spend time "rocking and rolling" at Bad Dog rehearsals.

Don Pearl, the Bad Dog drummer, is a now retired veterinarian, who often cared for and treated our dogs and cats.

Ron's wife Debbie had her own Pet Sitting business and takes care of her own horses, donkeys, cats and dogs, and most of the other band members have dogs.

Equally prominent in the logo is the motorcycle which almost all of the members have owned and enjoy riding. It embodies the band's sense of adventure, being in the great wide open and overall camaraderie (being part of the "Dog" pack). 

And finally, the Bad Dog name implies, an attitude of mischievousness. Not being malicious but enjoying the
occasional prank or just having fun. In still another respect it implies an attitude, if not confidence, in what we do.

All of these qualities together are what makes Bad Dog unique, both in their sound and presentation. We hope
you can experience for yourself what Bad Dog is all about.

Our logo was designed by a Brad Miedema who is both an exceptional and accomplished artist as well as a
Senior Art Director at a well known advertising agency.
