Our Story
 It all started years ago,
with a couple of AKC Registered beagles. Linton had caught the fever! Soon we
were up to our ears in beagles. Small beagles, red english beagles, big male
beagles, lemon beagles, tri color beagles, PUPPIES Everywhere!
We finally decided that there had to be an
easier way. So, we started raising beagles. That's when "Cress Kennels" was
born. Busting at the seams or rather chain link fence, Cress Kennels housed over
70 beagles at one time. Bred, born, weaned and trained - we are very proud of
our beagles.
We started Cress's Sales and Mfg.
about 10 years ago. After our herd of dogs, of course we needed dog supplies and
lots of them. After searching for dog collars and leads only to come up empty
handed, that's when we decided that if we couldn't find what we wanted, what
about everyone else?? We set out to try and make dog collars and leads.
We bought some
material, buckles, a pull lever name plate machine, and rivets. We were set! We
designed a collar in day-glo colors and we went to work. We piled the finished
products into a |

card board box and hauled
them off to an A.K.C. trial. We set up our tables and the customers liked our
finished product. Next, we tried our products
at an A.R.H.A. trial, and again our customers werepleased, and so were we. Next, we
ventured out to the coon hunting events. And to our amazement, we were well
accepted and on our way.
It wasn't long after
that we decided to become Tri-Tronics and Wildlife Dealers. That was the best
thing that we have ever done. There is such a demand for these products that our
business grew rapidly. We were bursting at the
seams at this point so we decided to buy a trailer. We needed alot of
modifications done to it and had only a short time to get it finished before
field trialing weather was here. We worked day and night until we got it
finished. And to this day Linton still comes up with a better idea about storage
or where to put the machines. I guess you could say that we are still working on
it!
Well, that's it, that's how we got
started. And now we would like to say a special "Thank You" to Tri-Tronics and
the people who work there. Tri-Ttronics is a very "customer" oriented business.
The customer comes first in any situation. Their products are the very best on
the market and they have the warranty to prove it. Tri-Tronics Sales
Representative, Mark Zepp  drops in occasionally to
touch base with us here at Cress's Sales. Mark just wants to see how things are
going and if there is anything that Tri-Tronics can do for
us.
We would also like to say a special "Thank
You" to Wildlife Materials Inc. Their systems are top of the line and have a
first class warranty. All of the people who work there have been really
good to support our business efforts. Whenever
we need help, they are just a phone call away. Bridgette Welsh and the sales
staff are very knowledgeable and easy to work with.
