NOTICE: 

Due to the Economic situation as it is and the prices of Fuel at the moment we will no longer be traveling to Montgomery to set our booth.  Thank you.

Tarabar Enterprises, Inc. was founded as a Scissor sharpening, Clipper Blade sharpening and grooming supply company specializing in show sales in 1984 by Ralph C. Barger.  His wife, Andrea Bradford, joined the company in 1987. 

Over the years we have remained centered with the canine fancy, doing show circuits as Scissor sharpeners, Clipper Blade sharpeners, and vendors while offering a mail order service as well.  We are currently concentrating on our mail order services and our online catalog, a constantly evolving project.

We are pleased to count many professional groomers and veterinarians as our clientele as well as an excellent dog show following in the southeast.  As our longtime clients know, our business policy is simple:  WE GUARANTEE OUR WORK AND OUR PRODUCTS.  IF WE SHARPENED IT, IF WE FIXED IT, IF WE SOLD IT, WE GUARANTEE IT!!!

(if you encounter a problem with our services and/or products please return within 30 days for service or replacement of defective products)

Ralph has 47 years experience as a breeder/exhibitor, Professional Handler, Show Superintendent, and a canine based service and products vendor.  He has been a sharpener for 24 years and follows a continuing educational process to continue honing his skills.  Andrea has over 30 years experience breeding and showing top winning Beagles, English Foxhounds, Samoyeds and Italian Greyhounds. We are pleased to announce that she is currently licensed by AKC to judge Beagles, English Foxhounds, and Samoyeds and has applied for her provisional license for Borzoi, Saluki and Whippets.  She is our behind-the-scenes financial officer. 

 

Our daughter-in-law, Marti Bradford  is our office manager.  She handles all of our telephone work, manages our website and most of our computer work.  She is new to the Dog show business but seems to be blending right in.

 

Ralph Barger is also Factory Certified by Wolff Industries, Kenchii Cutting Edge Shears Co. and Elite Manufacturing and Chris Christensen Systems for sharpening and reconditioning of Bevel Edge Shears and Convex Hollow Ground Shears. Using the latest factory equipment we can recondition your Scissor to as good (if not better) than new condition.
