What great catogories!!! Will def have to practice the old camera skills...... :shades:
-
I think we know which way the prize for muddiest dog is going :lol2:
-
I saw a great picture once of a Black newfie covered in flour too...
-
Wow, fab prizes and fab categories! Best get snapping! :D
-
The prizes are great :D
-
As everything is in place, we have made the decision to open the competition early, so looking forward to lots of lovely cocker pics etc ;)
-
What a great line up of judges - Who's Derek Brockway, though? Mark, do you get to meet Martin?
What do we do? Do we have to join the 4paws forum and then submit a picture under the category and put a story about the dog, or .........send our pictures to those giving the donation on the link given in the category on the 4paws website?

Martin who? and I can't believe you've never heard of Derek :005: He's big in Wales on the telly!
-
Hi LisaB,
You need to join the forum, that way we know whose piccies are whose etc. THen like you say, post your pics under the relevant categories...no stories needed. Then donate to enquiries@fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk through paypal. Hope that makes sense...
I had never heard of Derek Brockway either, but like Mark says apparently he is big in Wales...

Why is it that I never seem to get pictures of the dogs when they are up too naughty tricks... I have so many pictures of the cat that could be used for Caught Red Pawed, but the dogs are never anywhere to be seen...
Though if there had been a category for Daft as a brush I think Bracken could have come 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th....
-
What a great line up of judges - Who's Derek Brockway, though?
Its a Welsh thing - he's known as 'Derek the weatherman' really
-
Ohh yey another competition, i better get on with it.
Glad i popped on today or i wouldn't have known.
-
I keep thinking that a section in the showing bit for photo comps would be a good idea, I'm sure i'm not the only one that is addicted to entering them :005:
-
Thanks to everyone who has entered so far, we've had just over 200 entries already, but I'm sure we need to make the judges job a bit harder.... ;)
-
Another reminder, just over two weeks to go..... ;)
-
Oh I had forgotten about this - will dig some photos out! It says that you have to jooin to enter is that right?
-
Yes, that way we know who all the photos belong too.... ;)
-
Hello,

Noticed that there had been comments about the bid by cockers to take over the world :005: - the other breeds just need to get in there and increase their entries ;)

Thank you for all taking part, (though Bracken has asked me if I can kindly not people know next time so she can win a rosette ;) ).
When someone suggested a muddiest dog the cocker hippo did spring to mind, but it's nice to know he has others following in his footsteps... like little Heidi.
Rachel your bunny is gorgeous :luv:
Thanks for donating the bags of food to Four Paws :D

Well they'll have to make sure that the other breeds enter more pics next time then - otherwise cockers will take over the world :005:

When foster carers tend to fail it's often with spaniels... there is a couple who both have collie id names, but they now have a cocker spaniel after failing with him when they were fostering him. He is a gorjus boy ;)
Once all the results are in I will start contacting people for addresses etc to send the lovely rosettes and prizes too

Whoops I forgot about this ph34r
Honey came 2nd in Prettiest Bitch!!
Thank you! :luv: :luv: :luv:
