There was a trade stand at the National, up on the balcony in the big hall, which sold rosettes and breed-related items.

Does anyone know who they were? I have googled all the stands listed in the catalogue with no luck.

On the right hand side they had a spinning rack thingy with little red rosettes 2-3"/6cm ish, with breed pic one side and name of breed on the other, with a clip to use as a bag charm or on a zip.

I bought one as a congratulatory gift for a friend whose girl was made up to Ch on the day, but wish I knew who they were as I wouldn't mind a few more for gifts or even myself!

Dalsetter and they are called zip buddies.

Brilliant, thank you! Couldn't see them on the Dalsetter website but was on my phone, so maybe they will show up if I look now :)

Yes, it would have been Dalsetter. I'll have to have a look at these zip buddies, sounds like fun!

Yes they were quite cute and more tasteful than some of the breed-related stuff out there - they could also be clipped onto a dog's collar for special occasions :)

They also had a lot of minority breeds too, which was the clincher for me!

I had a really nice one of a brown Beardie very like my brown boy. Think my black and white boy must have felt left out he ate it :-D

Couldn't remember which stall I got it on so pleased that I can get a new one

They don't seem to be listed on Dalsetter site so I guess it depends on them being at certain shows. I can't get to Bath, which is on their list, and shows after then aren't mentioned.

Maybe we should request they go on the website! :)

There is a great new company opened up called North East Rosettes and they do personalised ones too - the centre can be a photo of your dog, with whatever over printing you want.  they do generic breed ones too, as well as occassions ones, so you can get  Congratulations on a new Champion or Congratulations on your Win, etc.  Something a bit different, and much more special than just a card.
