What do you love about being a terrier mum?
Having grown up with a Cocker Spaniel, welcoming my first terrier Daisy was a bit of a shock.
She was wild, always running off and getting into mischief and she would woof at all kinds of odd things from shadows and reflections to windscreen wipers.
But being a terrier mum has brought me so much happiness and after saying goodbye to Daisy I knew I was a terrier mum for life.
When I saw Patch’s little face on a terrier rehoming page I fell in love all over again.
Owning a terrier can be a challenge but life will never be boring.
On March 14th it’s Mother’s Day and while I don’t have any children, I’ve always saw myself as Patch and Daisy’s human mum.
And dog mums need spoiling too!
So I thought I would share a round up of some of my favourite brands in this gift guide for terrier mums.
Mother of Terrier hoodie
Our furriend Michelle at Scruffy Little Terrier has two terriers Barney and Sandy who inspired her to create a blog in 2015 about terrier mum life.
Then it became a brand for terriers and their pawrents and Michelle has created a lovely range of clothing, accessories and gifts for the home.
We love the Mother of Terriers hoodie which comes in nine colours and we have a discount code for 10 per cent off. Add SLT10 at checkout.
Mother of Terriers Hoodie, £49.95, scruffylittleterrier.com

Reg and Bob Weekender Tote
What terrier mum doesn’t enjoy a trip away with her cheeky bundle of joy?
We love Reg and Bob – Patch has their collar and leads in four different colours.
Reg and Bob are two Norfolk terriers with a sense of adventure and all products are geared around dogs being dogs, having fun, getting mucky and loving life.
Weekender Tote, £55, RegandBob.com
Distinctive Pets Gift Set
There’s something in here for mums and their terriers to enjoy.
Terrier mums can choose from a Border Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier or West Highland Terrier Sweet William mug.
Then there’s some luxury coffee and hand sanitiser – vital at the moment with Coronavirus!
For the dogs, there’s a tennis ball – a staple for terriers, plus Soopa and Pooch’s pet treats.
Mother’s Day gift box, £28, distinctivepets.co.uk
Dog Mum T shirt
I bought this Dog Mum T shirt last summer from Cosy Canine Company and I also have their dog walking bag and poo bag carrier.
If you’re a terrier mum, you always need to carry around balls and treats in case your little scamp runs off and you can read about the bag here.
Lottie has kindly given us a discount code too. Add PATCH10 at the checkout for a saving.

Tote bag with matching lead, collar, bandana and bow
Do you love twinning with your dog?
I do – and Kim from Leo, Charley and Me has created walking bags that match her leads and collar designs.
There’s a wide range to choose from – we have the nautical Salty Sea Dog set but I love this Foxy set too.
All items are hand made with velvet lining in the collars to make them super comfy and they’re washable too. Add MOTHER2020 for 10 per cent off at checkout.
Tote bag and matching accessories, from £60 depending on size, LeoCharleyandMe.co.uk
I hope there’s plenty of ins-paw-ation there for you dog mums – or anyone thinking of treating a dog mum.
