Ring boxes - ideas needed please!

How about getting a riing box which you can take the middle bit out of, then drill a hole through the side of it, then put the middle stuff back in to put the rings into it, then attach it to the collars? I dont know if that makes sense?

Can't you just train them to do this? ?

BrideBrat I could just see the spots doing that! (I wish!) Actually I think they would more likely end up running off with the baskets to chew them lol. Noodle I think that's the sort of thing I'm thinking off, just want to try to make the boxes look pretty & have them as secure as possible on the pooches.

Does it have to be a box? I found this picture online somewhere (sorry can't remember where) and thought it was brilliant, but unfortunately our venue doesn't allow dogs so my nephew will be our ring bearer instead of my labradors! A cushion might be more comfortable for the dog too?

I love that! Would need to be in pink to match our colours but that would be perfect. I wonder where I can buy those from? ?

Firstly I wanted to say I am soooooooooooooo jealous of you having your dogs at your ceremony! I picked a dog friendly venue and everything but OH won't let Benji come ☹️

You could probably make the cushion collar really easily! Try Joh Lewis or a good haberdasher for a small pin cushion, then you sew a little loop on the back that you could pass a normal collar through. Then sew some string on to tie the ring on with. Failing that, there s nothing you can't get on eBay!

That's not a bad idea stripeyrache, even with my lack of creative skills I should be bale to manage that! I would be gutted if I couldn't have the spots at our wedding. Mum & OH are both digging their heels in at the thought of me having one of my horses there though!

omg i am so jealous! i have a dalmatian (very naughty one!) and would love him at the ceremony but wouldnt work.

Jodie my two spots are both naughty but I wouldn't dream of getting married without them there! They should both know how to behave as the older one is 6 so he should know better by now & the 18 month old is a well trained show spot (she's going to Crufts for the second time in March) but I think the fact that she knows how she is meant to behave simply makes her naughtier.

oh well my dogs 4 in april and doesnt listen to women. he will sometimes listen to my OH and my dad but thats as far as it goes. i wud have loved a pic with him on my wedding day but im staying in the hotel the night before so will not see him ☹️ im majorly jealous of you now!

It's amazing how many dalmatians seem to have selective hearing! My two won't listen to anyone whenever there is food around so they will have to get collected after the ceremony by the dog sitter I'm going to use or I can see there being carnage at the wedding breakfast!

haha funnily enough mines like that where foods concered. i wouldnt trust him with the rings cos he'd have a good go at eating them! good luck training them.

This is so true! We have two westies (so we're off to a bad start anyway, stubborn little b*ggers!!) Benji has been through all of the KC Good Citizen Dog Scheme but Freddie hasn't had any formal training. The number of times Benji has been royally shown up by Freddie is hilarious!! People are always joking with me, "Which ones the trained one again?"
