About Us

Skawl Dog Creations is a quality handcrafted genuine leather working company ran by Dalton Christ , who strives to bring the highest quality goods to my customers at affordable prices.  I also breed a select few exotic animals (mostly uncommon snakes) stemming from my passion for the reptile hobby. 

 

The roots of Skawl Dog Creations come from a long history of artistic endeavors ranging from simple sketches to full costumes I was commissioned to create over many years.  The leather working came into play in 2020, when a very close friend asked if I could construct him a sheath for a knife he forged himself for hunting.  After taking on that job and getting amazing feedback from the blacksmith, I decided that I would dabble a bit deeper into leather working.  One thing lead to another, and before I knew it, I was getting commissions from friends of friends.  I decided to take it and run with it since I enjoyed it as well.

 

The reptiles started years ago when I rescued a severely injured Garter Snake, who I found while working on my truck.  She was in very rough shape, and to be honest I didn't think she would survive.  She pulled through, and lived a long, spoiled life with me until she passed many years later.  She was the best.  She taught me so much about how wrong most of the rumors about reptiles are, and it sparked my interest to learn more about different types of snakes.  Now I keep a pretty good range of snakes, including Brazilian Rainbow Boas, Vietnamese Blue Beauty Snakes, Russian Rat Snakes, White Lipped Pythons, and Woma Pythons to name a few. 

 

If you've met me at shows, you're probably wondering where Ozzy came into the picture.  Ozzy is my Caiman Lizard, and my buddy who models my leather goods aimed at pets at shows.  He came to me in March of 2023, after I lost my previous Caiman Lizard, "Duck" in December of 2022.  Ozzy and I are inseparable, and he has quickly become the face of Skawl Dog Creations in 2024.  He is the best boy.

 

In 4 years, I've built my business from the ground up, gathered a bunch of amazing friends, and have had the pleasure of meeting tens of thousands of new faces, most of which have the same passion towards either the reptile hobby or crafting as I do.  It's been a wild ride so far, and I can not wait to see where this ends up taking me.  I'm always looking to improve, and take on new challenges.  In the 4 years that I've been in business, I've never once turned down a project.  I absolutely love bringing you all the goods, services, and animals that make your faces light up - and that will never change!  I love having everyone give me their ideas for projects, and to be able to see their joy when I hand them the thing they thought they'd never have.  I am constantly improving and pushing my limits, so I am very excited to see what the future holds for Skawl Dog Creations!
