Ok guys, im at university in central London at the moment and need some help with what I can buy my mum for crimbo. I asked her the other day and she said she wants a dog showing sort of present unfortunatly I cant get to any Champ show between now ans then. Any Idea's? Remember im a student so cant afford expensive presents. (we show Bullmastiff's if that helps).

How about the KC's Discover Dogs at Earls Court?????
Its 14-15th Nov

How about one of Starprints show diaries with a Bullmastiff pic on the cover ? (Roughly £12 or £13)

buy a piece of velvet and make a grooming glove, you could embroider the dogs name on it.  velvet brings up a good shine to a dogs coat.

very easy --  aprox 20cm x 25cm piece of velvet,  fold in half (inside out) and over stitch the edge on 3 sides,  now you have a glove.

sew the dogs name on it or your mums affix and you have a cheap, personal pressy.

good luck.

size aprox depending on the size of your mums hand !

Just grumbling here .......I do not accept the season of "Crimbo" - I associate it with the drunkeness, over-eating, over-indulging - excesses of everything.   It's a horrible word!
