Holly
Holly Montgomery has spent the better part of two decades deeply embedded in the world of dogs — first as an award-winning professional pet photographer, and since 2006 as co-owner of Tail Blazers Copperfield, a holistic pet food store in Calgary, Alberta, which she runs alongside her husband Ron.
Holly holds a Pet Food Nutrition Specialist certificate from DNM University and is currently enrolled in the Natural Animal Nutrition course through the College of Integrated Veterinary Therapies (CIVT). She is also a graduate of Mount Royal University’s Bachelor of Applied Business and Entrepreneurship program.
Ron
Ron Au is Holly’s husband and has been working at Tail Blazers Copperfield off and on since 2017. Together, the two have built a shared life and career around their love of dogs — from the store floor to their acreage. Ron is one of the store’s most trusted resources for pet parents navigating complex health issues, and holds both a Pet Food Nutrition Specialist certificate and a Raw Food Nutrition Specialist certificate from DNM University.
Ron’s approach is practical and methodical. He has worked one-on-one with hundreds of dog owners over the years, helping them understand what’s going on with their dog’s health and what to do about it.
Grizz
Grizz is the oldest of the bunch and he is head of perimeter security here at the BrindleBerry Acres. Grizz ensures that everything in the home and on the property is copacetic, and he’s also incredibly smart. Grizz also loves to play tug with his sister Pebbles and prefers to fetch a flying disc over a ball. One thing you will not find Grizz doing is walking on hardwood. WELL… maybe for a treat!
Sadly, we lost Grizz on Halloween day, in 2024. We miss him every, single, day.
Kingsley
Kingsley loves fetch and scratches. I am not sure which one he loves more! Kingsley is the most well rounded of the crew as he is great at detecting an intruder skunk, AND is an incredible athlete! He’s very easy going, and he LOVES to model hats. YUP, hats! What you will NOT find Kingsley doing is sleeping on the bed – no way – TOO HOT up there.
Pebbles
What can we say about Pebbles? She’s up for anything FUN! She loves people, and playing. She loves toys – especially ones that squeak! Her favourite place to sleep is beside mom, under the covers. Pebbles is an incredible suPAWmodel – she prefers modelling to all of the aforementioned activities! What you will not find Pebbles doing is fetching – I mean once in a blue moon, but it really just is a silly activity isn’t it?
