ABOUT US

Welcome to Running Dogs Print & Embroidery, based in the heart of Staffordshire at the historic Roller Mill in Penkridge. Working in 270-year-old building full of character, just like the brands we work with. It’s here that we’ve created a space that’s calm, creative full of purpose and the perfect base to deliver premium, made-to-order apparel with heart.

​

We started Running Dogs because, like many small businesses, we were frustrated. In our first business, an art studio, we couldn’t find a supplier that delivered what we needed. This was great quality garments, no minimum orders, and a personal service we could trust.  What started as a solution for ourselves quickly became a service others wanted and needed. We believe in doing things differently. While other shops streamline everything into automated online portals, we’ve stayed intentionally personal. We talk to our customers. We ask questions. Because when we understand your brand, we can help you wear it with confidence.

​

Many of our customers work in the fitness industry. They’re coaches, athletes, teams, and business owners who care about how they look and how they perform. They want apparel that feels good, fits right, and holds up to real-world use. That’s where we come in. We print using premium Dupont inks and embroider with precision. 

Quality is our baseline. Every garment must meet our standards for look, feel, and longevity and yes, we road test everything ourselves. Ralph and Digby the original "running dogs" are part of our shop, our lives, and our brand. They’re also our running teammates, meaning we personally test the gear we produce before we recommend it.

Our brand name brings two things we love together: dogs and running. But more than that, it stands for movement, loyalty, independence, and showing up with intention. We're friendly and relaxed, but we don’t compromise. And we want our customers to feel that same sense of pride when they wear our work.

When you choose Running Dogs, you’re not just buying custom clothing. You’re joining a community that believes in doing things properly, personally, and proudly.

 

Come say hi, we don't bite!
