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?

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....

Its a Welsh thing - he's known as 'Derek the weatherman' really

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.... ;)
