hi me again so soon lol but i another question here goes i'v only been to fun shows and they have used string and safety pins do you still use the trusty safety pin or the ring clip?i have plenty of safety pins lol but would you for the champ shows,sorry if a silly question.if you could send any links for ring clips as not getting anything thanks nessa :)       

I expect the breed club you have entered may have their own clips on sale?? If not one of the others might have them?? Try looking on the website for the staffy clubs(if they have one). There is some nice silver or gold ones on sale from I think it is rabart fine arts or similar.

Half the stalls at the champ show will be selling plain ring clips at about 50p each, I'd start off with one of them before splashing out on the breed specific ones. You can also get your own dog's pic on one which I like, I have Henry on mine. :-)

Yes, if you can manage to get to a show before the breed club show you have entered for, there are cheaper ones available.

These are my favourite kinds and I usually have half a dozen in various show bags, bum bags and jacket pockets. http://www.dogproductsdirect.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=49

Hi lucyDogs, where do you get ones with a photo of your dog? A link would be much appreciated.

thanks brainless i will have alook on that link much appreciated and defiantly have a look on the stalls before the show that might help me relax lol,feeling quite nervous already and i haven't even filled the schedule in yet thanks for all your replies always brilliant keep it up thanks nessa :)

It was Steve Jefford's site, www.k9photos.co.uk that I got mine from, not sure if you can just send a pic or if it has to be one he took though.

They're expensive.  Mine looks very similar and cost £1.00 from Hub.  They are always at champ shows.

i have a breed one from ebay but its fiddly if changing jackets for the dogs and numbers.  It pops on like an earing.  Much easier with safety pin type with clip.  Its only took me 2 1/2 years to figure that out lol.

they are only 28p each as the prices ar for 50 or 100 clips.

I'd happily buy 50 as I am always loosing them.

Ahh.  i'm poorly today (my excuse).  I thought they said £16.00.  What am i like.

Teach me not read all the blurry writing.

Ooh going to badger him on FB now for more details!! I'd love one with my boys on it.

Ditto, I have them in my purse, clipped on to bench bedding, show bags, every show jacket, show leads & I still seem to loose them ha ha!
I had a nice breed one once but after loosing it and never finding it I didn't bother buying a nice one again, I'd rather just use cheap ones, then I don't worry if they fall off or I loose them.

Guess it depends on how each person is!
Some people come to shows looking smart & clean at 7am etc & look just as good at the end of the day, where as I arrive in clean scruffs which are dirty by the time I get to my bench! Then I sort the dog, change in to my lovely clean, freshly pressed show outfit & then by the time I come out of the ring I may aswell of stayed in my scruffs lol I just can't seem to keep clean or keep hold of things!

I either use one of the arm band ones or as I've normally left it in the car, I keep a stock of hair bands and elastic bands and use one of them.

Oh yes, I have my special one on my show bag, but I also have half a dozen cheap ones in all the other bags or pockets that I might take to any type of show or training. It's also handy if someone asks to borrow one! :-)
