About Us

From one Item...

In 1958, Mr. John Sellen had an idea. An avid field dog trainer, Mr. Sellen developed a training bumper made of canvas and packed with cork. Unmatched in its durability and scent holding qualities, many of Mr. Sellen's hunting colleagues took a liking to this "Canvasback Dummy" and wanted some for their own. So, Mr. Sellen took their orders, went home and began to manufacture the canvas dummies.

To ten thousand items...

Many years and several dummies later, the mail order tradition continues at Canvasback Pet Supplies. We've just added more items to choose from. Canvasback Pet Supplies has grown considerably since 1959 to include a 3,000 square floor store located near Lockport, Manitoba. Filled with over 10,000 items specifically for your pet, and we're always looking for more! So if there is anything that you require to keep your best friend happy, you have come to the right place.

Like the original Canvasback Dummy, we continue to strive to bring you top quality products combined with the best service possible!
