I had Ozzy's photo taken a couple of months ago, he didn't get placed but I was absolutely thrilled that one of our other dogs won the competition (large framed portrait)  :luv:

They didn't put pressure on us to buy, either - which is quite refreshing.

ETA: Glen & Barney's photos are lovely. Thanks for posting.  :luv:

I remember taking Morgan and Dylan a few years ago, thinking it would make a nice pressie for my mum at Christmas  - me and dad trundled along only to find the pics had Dylie with his 'lipstick' on show!!  Needless to say we said no thank you  :005: :005:

I really don't like these photos ph34r  it's not the dogs obviously, it's those fake backgrounds. I far prefer photos with a simple plain white background or even better, outside with a natural background that really compliments the personality and look of the dog.

Fraid I agree with Nic. I'm not a fan. I like natural outdoor backgrounds or a nice plain white backdrop. Plus the whole PAH photo comp thing is just a way to get you to part with money as most people would never bother with 'professional' photos but its easy to say have them done when its for a competition and there's no obligation to buy. Of course then most owners will want to actually buy said photos afterwards!

not my cup of tea, it's the fake fence that does it (but the photo's themselves aren't badly shot and are in focus  :D ( )

 :-\  Don't like them either, it's definitely the background that spoils them. You can tell straight away they're from PAH   :-\

They are lovely pictures, if I thought Molly would sit long enough to get one I would go - - never mind the background ! Not easy when you are alone to get good pics.

Well although I don't like the background it was the only way I was going to get a decent in focus shot of my boy so I love the actual shots of him  :luv: :luv:

We won some vouchers for Olan Mills piccies and I have to say they did a fab job with the boys and even with the two of us!!







And two of my faves:





The white background does look great, especially with Charley's colouring, Dougal is such a poser!
