I don't always have time to check out the photo boards so I'm really enjoying oohing and aaahing over everyone's photos here. Keep em coming.  :shades:

As per Helen's post though, can everyone please read the rules before entering. The competition is primarily a bit of lighthearted fun but it won't be fair on those who've adhered to the rules if their dogs end up missing out on a place/rosette due to being pipped by invalid entries... we don't want fisticuffs. :lol2: It also puts the mods in a really difficult position when we have to send out pms querying how old photos are, whether they are of members own dogs etc - much easier if everyone reads the rules first... saves a lot of time, trouble and awkwardness all round.  ph34r  :lol2: If in doubt re any of the rules please ask on the Help thread for clarification.

Some of the rules which seem to be getting missed...

1. Photos should be taken by you or a member of your family, rather than by friends or professionals etc. If you are a professional photographer your dogs can still take part but please don't overdo it - give everyone else a fighting chance by limiting your entries to a couple of classes.
2. Entry is restricted to photos taken within the last year ( give or take a month or two). The exception to this is My Fave Photo - for that class photos can be as old or as new as you like.
3. Photos must be of your own dogs that live with you; not those belonging to friends, family or dogs you've met on walks.


If you've accidentally entered an invalid photo you can edit your post to delete it or replace it with a different photo. Alternatively, please post on the Help thread and one of the mods can delete the post for you ( please state which class and which page it's on).  

Thanks.

I have to admit I have a really big soft spot for Charlie - and love the snow pic and the acupuncture pic too!  :luv:

"Most appealing eyes" always attract huge entries - a certain  brown dog won it twice in the past (I was elated that he won that class, it's one of my favourites  :luv: )

and *cough* NO bribery   :lol2:
