The winners of Keyston Bros’ Annual Shop Dog Calendar Contest have officially been announced, marking the return of one of the auto upholstery industry’s most beloved yearly traditions.
For those unfamiliar, the contest invites shop owners and fabricators to submit photos of their dogs in and around their shops, on job sites, or even visiting Keyston Bros warehouses. Selected pups earn a coveted spot in the company’s annual Shop Dog Calendar.
“Not only do we love this initiative, but many of our industry members genuinely look forward to it each year,” said Brooke Kahn of Keyston Bros. “I’ve seen some incredible submissions — from dogs dressed in costumes or Keyston gear, to posing with samples and shop equipment, to even riding in the sidecar of a motorcycle with goggles on and material in the seat. The creativity, dedication and time that go into getting the perfect shot really show, and it’s amazing.”
Whether greeting visitors, supervising projects, or simply spreading joy, shop dogs have become a familiar and welcome presence in many upholstery and fabrication shops. Few things brighten a workday quite like taking a moment to pet a loyal four-legged coworker.
This year, more than 120 submissions were received, with 24 pups ultimately selected for the 2026 Shop Dog Calendar. Below is a sneak peek at some of this year’s winners. The 2026 calendars will be available at all 17 Keyston Bros locations, so stop by and pick one up!
But the fun doesn’t stop there…
Beginning in 2026, Keyston Bros will launch a new Shop Dog of the Month competition on its social media channels, giving shop dogs even more opportunities to shine throughout the year.
To enter, simply send your dog’s name, shop name and location to shopdog@keystonbros.com or submit it on social media by tagging @keystonbros and using the hashtag #KBShopDog.
