Desperate for dog show prizes. Any suggestions

[Paint Me Proud]

I am holding a KC licensed companion dog show in June (after out successful first show last year) but i am struggling to get donations for prizes.

A couple of companies have been very generous but most have ignored my emails or replied saying they dont donate etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions of people or companies I could try, i'm get desperate.

Try all your local shops and garages; if it's for charity they're usually willing to help in some way.

My Brother in law is a pet photographer and has, in the past, donated a photography prize in return for a mention on the schedule. Do you have any local photographers? You might find someone willing to donate. He's also photographed at shows and offered a free print as the first prize..

I was at a Championship Show today and went begging around the trade stands (in the pouring rain and riving wind, with dog in tow!) and a couple of very nice traders gave me a few items, one in particular were very generous
