I wanted to give an up-date on what I found out about cool beds.
For shows/ringside
I spoke to a gentleman by the name of Clark at 1-800-209-2665 re: the Polar Bed. The website is http://www.bodycooler.com
He recommended buying the 20x30 inch size because all you are really trying to do is cool the stomach on the dog. It is much easier to carry. (30x40 is to heavy when wet for the show rings)
He also has other products to help cool the dog in hot weather. See the belly wrap and scarves.
For Home Use:
You can buy the bigger sizes for home use. They are very heavy when wet..but that doesn't matter because you aren't trying to lift or carry them.

p.s. cool beds
an update: if you buy the belly cooler you will get extra velcro straps which add about two inches to the girth. Call before ordering to make sure it will fit your dog.

Well, Mastiff stained glass designs are great for unique Christmas presents.....had to put a plug for myself in there. I am starting to get Christmas orders, especially now that I started advertising a layaway plan. Funny thing is, most people are getting the stained glass as presents to themselves....hey, I always get myself something nice for Christmas! Falalalala.....

Not sure if anyone has posted about this, but for anyone who hasn't heard about it, the SSMR (Southern States Mastiff rescue) is having an online auction Nov. 1st through the 6th. Dolly Moore is the webmaster and as the online auction coordinator, she's looking for vendors of quality Mastiff oriented products to become product sponsors for the auction. There are so many talented artists who post on the forum, and this is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to a worthwhile cause....for a minimum $150 donation, you get a listing on their "Shop Our Sponsors" page with a link to your product website, so it's also great advertisement for you. The link to the SSMR website is http://www.sosmastiffrescue.org. Contact Dolly Moore for details. Thanks!

Hi Kelly,
Thanks so much. I'm happy to hear you'll be bidding, and I'd LOVE to do a stained glass design of General. He looks like quite the character. I'm hoping to bid on one of Louise's paintings. So many talented artists in our group!

This is a customized bag that I have been making for the show ring to carry my things needed. I have altered a lot of things to make it "just right"
I do accept custom orders and have many other breeds available with about any color of background you would want.
There are 2 different styles of mastiff heads available with different coordinating fabric. I will post more pictures soon.
You can PM me here or email me at ThompsonTotes@yahoo.com
Online Store:
http://www.allraggedout.com
Other Breeds available (just some examples)

for those who have dogs that like to drink out of the toilet....AND boys or husbands who can't remember to put the lid down.
You can buy a toilet lid now at places like Home Depot...that automatically closes itself after use It does work a bit slow but it gets the job done.
Then the next time your dogs go for a drink, the lid will start to close slowly...I bet there isn't a mastiff born that won't be broken of that habit.
Not to expensive either. p.s. I think it's also sold at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Thought I would send out this link to my web site that has some mastiff prints and gifts:
http://www.cafepress.com/horseportrait/1162011
The original painting is of a fawn mastiff, Max, that one of my friends rescued. He has such a great face! The amazing thing about him is that he nearly died from bloat the day I took photos of him to do the painting... But he fully recovered from surgery and is a happy healthy 10 year old boy that still travels the country going to the horse shows with his mommy!
I also have a few bull mastiff prints and gifts on my site.
Thanks!!
Kim and Ruby

Hi, I am looking for good sturdy toys for my 1 1/2 year old Mastiff, Gus. He does like to chew! Can yall please tell me your Mastiffs favorite toys, ideas, and where to buy? Thanks, I feel like we have already purchased most toys at Petsmart, Petco, and Walmart but let me know anyway... I have a VERY spoiled baby boy! LOL |

I bought some of Melody Fuller's toys last year....my dog really likes them. she is Fantasy Mastiffs....my dog fell in love with the Santa she sold me
The Kongs work for awhile but my dog loses interest in them
There is a ball made by Earth Toys that my dog loves. I bought it at a small pet store...not a big chain store item. It's a soft rubber ball that has a picture of the world on it...that's how to recognize it. Be sure to keep a close eye on your dog with any toys!
Sometimes, I take a RED APPLE and take an apple corer and remove the stem and seeds. Then I roll it on the ground outside. You MUST remove the black seeds first though. This is when I teach "Get It" and "Come"...She pounces on it and has fun with it and then gets to eat it afterwards. No more than one a day though. You could do the same with an Asian Pear..but remove the seeds and stem first.

Hi folks, I hust found your site and would like to bring your attention to a UK based company http://www.equafleece.co.uk I have tried and failed for three years to find an affordable tailored dog coat for my English Mastiff, Ben. These guys have it all and more!! Several styles and colours to chose from and they really do tailor for the individual dog. The quality of their work is VERY impressive, I cant praise them enough. Walking will now be a joy whatever the weather....

All sorts of products with mastiff designs on them: ties, shoes, shirts bumper stickers, mugs, cards etc. In all kinds of styles--there are some graphic modern illustrations, photo art, even a tattoo style design.
I made a few new designs for Holiday cards--mostly mastiff-specific--that have matching postage and a few other products (including some ties). The cards on my zazzle page can be customized with your greeting and sign-off. I also made a set of designs that are templates where you upload your picture and customize the greeting and sign-off.
My Dunkirk zazzle page
The cafepress page has cards and some things zazzle doesn't like outdoor banners and ornaments.
WillieNillie at cafepress.com
Zazzle sent me a coupon code for holiday cards that I want to share with you-- 25% of orders of 10 or more holiday cards purchased by Nov 18th. The coupon code is HOLIDAYCARDS. Also free shipping on holiday postage purchased by Dec 31st. Coupon code-STMPHOLIDAYS.

Great idea, Dixie...Bailey gets bored so quickly w/ the 'typical' dog toys, apples would be a big hit. Lately, he's found great fun rolling and kicking large plastic containers! lol

Robin,
Just be sure to supervise while they are playing with the apple! Also, only use the RED apples. Apple seeds are bad for dogs so be sure to CORE them first.
your friend, D

Thanks, Dixie - Yes, we only buy macintosh anyway and of course I removed the core! In fact, the dogs were even more interested in the apples when we filled the hollow part w/ peanut butter. yummy...

I have added a new section to my website called Big Necked Dogs. I am carrying collars for Really Big Necked Dogs. I have Lupine collars in 3/4" and 1" widths, adjustable from 18" to 41", with matching padded handle leads in 4 and 6 foot lengths. I will also have Flat-linked choke collars in size 26" to 36" in 2.5mm weight. (Nice and small but strong). I also have Nylon show collars in size 28" to 36" in Brown and Black. The site is still under construction but please check it out!

Just as a heads up. I ordered and paid over 200 toward a stained glass from Kazia well over two years ago, and have never received the stained glass work.. I know that she has been ill, but she has promised to send the finished work twice over the last year, and still no stained glass.
