Mr. Montana is a trendsetter. He is the essence of style, sophistication and class. He was wearing fur before any of the other big names. Lassie, Eddie, Benji – he taught them everything they know. Ladies want him and Gentledogs yearn to be him.

He knows what he wants and he knows where to get it. His seal of approval can make or break a business just like Joan Rivers and Mr. Blackwell can make or break a budding celebrity new to the red carpet.

Being the Dogmopolitan Don Juan that he is, Mr. M. recently jetted up to Chicago for the annual HH Backer Pet Products Christmas Trade Show to see what tickled his Dog Fancy. The following 10 superior products are what he enthusiastically gave two paws up.

Number 10

The Urban Polo Shirt
So many canine fashion designers have lost perspective. They design with humans in mind, but not the fashionistas at mama’s & papa’s. Mr. M. demands that his clothes be stylish, not gaudy, comfortable, and functional and above all fit him correctly. Mr. M. is an individual and after a long day he likes to trade in his suit & tie for a sporty, comfy look.

Number 9

The Crown Jewel Collection Duchess Tiara
Biscuits are nice and bones are all right, but Mr. M. knows that diamonds are a bitch’s best friend. For birthdays, anniversaries, or just to say “I woof you,” Mr. M. guarantees you’ll get more than a good night lick on the nose if you present her with one of these.

Number 8

The Dogmopolitan Classic Couch
Every good Gentledog needs a relaxing place to unwind from the daily stress of high society life. For Mr. M. that place is his luxurous Dogmopolitan couch fit for his size. Low to the ground and just a few feet long, this throne is off limits to humans.

Number 7

The Coiled Jog Leash
As an icon in the four-legged fashion world, it is important for Mr. M. to stay in top physical condition. Lesser leashes get tangled up in his legs and ruin his pace. With the Coiled Jog Leash by Cetacea, Mr. M and his human can jog happily and safely with no fear of tangles and other leash-induced mishaps

Number 6

Dogzilla Flatware
Everyone knows that a gourmet meal is a fine work of art, and Mr. M. demands no less from his serving bowls. Reminiscent of the early impressionist masters, Candace Reiter has triumphed with her Dogzilla line of unique and colorful dog dishes. Just add a dollop of liver caviar and a splash of Veuve Clicquot.

Number 5

The Fur Säcé Collection
Mr. M. is never one to throw around label names – that is just not done in polite society. However, this must-have for any dog is a designer essential. Haut Couture style at bargain basement prices is the name of the game this season. Mr. M.’s personal favorite? The Leopard English Chic-Dog Collar. It brings out his wild side.

Number 4

The Kelle Carrying Case
Being an international connoisseur of all things dog related, Mr. M. is constantly on the go. He refuses to travel in anything less than first class. The Kelle by PETote offers him the safety, style and comfort he demands. Best of all, The Kelle is on-flight approved for those never ending airline flights to Paris, Rome and London.

Number 3

The Orbee-Tuff
Don’t let his cool, sophisticated exterior fool you. Deep down Mr. M. is a wild and playful pup who likes to get crazy in the back yard. Not even his shear brute strength can destroy this toy of toys. It bounces, it floats and best of all it smells like peppermint – a feature he and his human enjoy.

Number 2

All Weather Muttluks
When giving a speech or public performance, it is societal suicide to show your cold feet. That is why whenever the weather is cold, rainy or snowy, Muttluks adorn Mr. M.’s precious paws. Also available in Fleece Lined for lounging around the doghouse on a cold winter’s day.

Number 1

Crunch Cards
Whenever his top-secret spy duties call for clandestine communications, Mr. M. uses these Crunch Cards by Crunchkins because the evidence is quickly taken care of. “Developed by vets and devoured by pets”, these edible rawhide postcards are also #1 on his holiday card list.

If you are wondering where Mr. M. inherited his exquisite taste from, it was undeniably from his human Mom. She demands nothing but the best for her Mr. M. While escorting him through the booths at this year's trade show, she found 5 products she thought where a cut about the rest for the truly passionate dog lover.

Number 5

The Pet Sponge Hair Remover
Mr. M.'s Mom knows that every part of her beloved pooch is precious, but some parts (like stray hair) are less precious than others. With this revolutionary product, hair on couches, clothes and anything else is a thing of the past. Accept no substitute, the Pet Sponge brand is the original, all-rubber solution.

Number 4

Yip Yap Breath Fresheners for Dogs
K9 wine and Pekinese Cheese make a splendid meal for the dog about town, but it leaves its toll on Mr. M.'s breath. These little babies are filled with rosemary, parsley and green tea (and cooked liver for taste) to ensure fresh breath for even the worst cases of halitosis.

Number 3

Dog-opoly Board Game
This is Mr. M.'s and his Mom's favorite game to play together. It has all the fun of traditional Monopoly with some dog-eat-dog twists. Player's pieces range from Chihuahua to Great Dane and each Dog Deed is filled with fun facts about the dog. No dog lover can resist!

Number 2

My Dog's Life, a photo journal of unconditional love
Since Mr. M. is undoubtedly her baby, it's only natural that his Mom has a traditional baby book for him. This delightful memory book can hold up to 65 photos and has 13 fun sections to record memories. An added bonus -- a portion of profits benefit The ASPCA.

Number 1

Custom Oil Portraits of Dogs and "Their" People
Mr. M., like all dogs, is a muse and there is no better way to honor a muse than to capture his likeness in a beautiful, one-of-a-kind, custom oil portrait inspired by a favorite photograph. MyDogandMe portraits are available everywhere via their no hassle, online ordering process and make the most original gifts for discerning dog lovers.
