Llavero Bulldog

The bulldog is a gift to anyone modelling at small scale: heavy jowls, a squashed muzzle, a deeply creased brow and little rose ears give you a face that stays recognisable however far it is reduced. Those are the features this keyring is built around. For such a small object it carries a surprising amount of meaning. The breed stands in for British stubbornness, for a school or regimental mascot, or simply for somebody's own dog snoring on the sofa. That makes it a safer present than most novelty keyrings, because the person receiving one usually already has a reason to like bulldogs. It works equally well on house keys, as a bag charm or as a raffle prize at a club night. Kennel club members, breed owners and anyone with a soft spot for a grumpy-looking dog are the natural audience.
