Meet Sophie the beautiful seventh generation black Labrador Retriever here at Black Dog Design!

Original owners Jan & Mike Copeland opened Black Dog Design, Inc. in 1999 as a producer of fabric bags, totes and throws. Since then, the product lines have expanded to include custom boat covers, biminis, boat upholstery and endless custom outdoor fabric applications.  In 2007, we moved into a 2,000 square foot facility next to the Joplin store near Mountain Harbor Resort!  In 2021,  Mike and Jan retired and turned it over to employees,  Terrie & Charles Yandell, carrying on the same quality and service as always!

Black Dog Design’s custom work includes everything from simple repairs to complicated boat covers and boat trailer covers, furniture re-upholstery, deck covers, snap-in carpet replacement, and even custom covers for unique items like retired military equipment.

Please note that, since Black Dog Design is a custom shop, we generally need access to your boat, trailer, home, etc. in order to design the solution to your needs. We are willing to travel as necessary, but we try to limit our travels to about a 100 mile radius from our store.  Please contact us to discuss your project.

Have a look through the photographs on these pages for samples of the many projects we have completed for our customers.

We look forward to meeting you and discussing your needs.
