If you win, your photo will be on our Welcome Page for the month greeting all our visitors :)

Please only send in one photo. We would also like to encourage natural shots rather than photos taken in the studio; and the photo must be taken by you.

Did you know that you can make comments on your favourite photo or just let the person know you like their dog? It will really mean a lot to people if you do. Simply click on the entries below and there'll be an opportunity to comment on the individual photo. Go on, join in! It's nice for people to find out what you think of their dog. Please keep comments positive!

We shall announce the winner of the December contest at the beginning of January and the winning entry will have pride of place on the Welcome Page until the following month. Due to this site's success around the world, we are no longer sending prizes out to the winning entry. With custom forms and so forth for winners outside the UK, it was becoming rather complicated to administer. We hope you will still continue to send us your photos!

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 every photo that comes in.

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. If this is the case, try re-sizing it to 500 pixels.

Thank You - Hilary Burt, Editor

Enter your dog for December 2009

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, try and give us a little more information. For example 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!



First enter the breed and then your dog's name eg.Terrier Cross - Toto

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