Kenya, Max, Zoie - our July winners

Everyone who enters will get their own page on this website for friends, family and visitors to comment on their photo. So tell everyone you've entered!

If your photo is chosen, it will be on our Welcome Page for one month greeting all our visitors :)

New!
Site Build It, my web hosting company, is now allowing you to upload more than one photo at a time. Although we would still prefer one carefully chosen shot, we are happy if you want to submit more.

The other photos must be of the same dog and the judges will only take the top photo into consideration. Please make one submission per dog per month.

We would also like to encourage natural shots rather than photos taken in the studio; and the photo must be taken by you or a friend/family member whose permission you have to use the photo.

What we're looking for
You may send in any photo of your dog although we prefer dogs in their natural state ie. without dresses and bekinis etc!

To be chosen for the Welcome Page, the photo will probably be a natural shot, clearly showing the body or face of the dog. This particular photo will be representing our website around the world and be the first thing many people see when they visit us.

For that reason we will veer towards "out and about" shots. There may be exceptions for an exceptional photo! Click here for the photos we've chosen since the contest began.

If we feel a particular photo is not suitable, I'm afraid it will not go live. Every photograph and comment is checked by the editor. There may therefore be a delay of up to 24 hours of photos/comments appearing on the site.

We may link your photo to our Gallery of Dog Breeds. This is where breeds of the same kind have been brought together on the same page for visitors to enjoy.

If you own one of the hybrid dogs (Sprocker/Puggle/Sproodle etc) and the photo clearly shows what the breed look like, I shall also be putting a smaller photo of your entry on the Hybrid Dogs page.

Judging
Judging is done by myself (Hilary), my husband and usually a guest judge. If you would like to help with the judging please contact me. We're looking for people who are genuinely interested in all the entries and are willing to make positive comments on all or the majority of the photos that come in.

This Month's Guest Judge
Emma Fotheringham from Lincolnshire in the UK is this month's guest judge. This is her third time so she obviously loves being involved in the process!

Emma has two dogs of her own - Bella, a Labradoodle, and Jazz, a Border Collie. She also shares the responsibility of two Cockapoos with her Nana. Emma is a very talented dog owner and helps to teach a fun agility group as well as an obedience class.

A good size
400 x 300 pixels is a good size for your photo. If you are having trouble sending a photo, there may be a gap in the photo file name or sometimes the photo itself is too big.



Thank You - Hilary Burt, Editor

Enter your dog for August 2010

Just send us a favourite photo of your dog. It could be a picture taken on the beach, in the woods, or simply chilling out at home.


Tell us something about your dog. Perhaps how you came to be together or what special things he or she likes to do.


If your dog is one of the newer breeds, you could tell us about the dog's temperament, whether the breed sheds a lot, if it is good with children, and so on.


And remember - every entry will have its own page - a dedicated page just for your dog!


Please - one submission per dog per month - and we'd prefer as natural a photo as possible ie. no dresses or bekinis!


If submitting more than one photo, make sure they are all of the same dog. Only the main photo will be judged.



Enter the breed and your dog's name. If it is a puppy you can put this as well. eg. Chihuahua Puppy - Lola

Tell us about your dog or even the story behind the picture. [ ? ]

Upload Picture - only main photo will be judged - all photos must be of the same dog [ ? ]
