Entering a much loved pet into a competition?


Afternoon all,

I have entered mine, In our local paper Bristol’s evening post today in hope that we will win a lovely canvas print of her! :beer:

Is anyone else entering in the Bristol area?

How far would you go, To win a fantastic prize for your fur baby? :rotfl:
Future goals:
Become debt free.

    I've entered a few - My big girl got through the shortlist of the Dogs Trust Honours Awards (quality of life award) a few years ago - we didn't win but we did get a two page feature in one of the dog magazines and some free publicity for the local animal charity we support.

    and the wee one won me some Andrex Slippers :rotfl:

    Sadly most comps are against my baby as he lost his tail - since then his publishing rate has decreased massively! (such discrimination from magazines;) other than that I got some Felix vouchers when o wrote and told them e looked like Felix and offered his services.

    There's a thread somewhere here... I shall try to find it. The vet thinks he left it under a car, car moved, boots ran but it caught his tail - 100% burns to his mid tail, not much movement so bye bye tail and hello stump. He's none the worse for it - but he keeps failing full body shots when entered into magazines and online :(

    My dogs used to enter dog shows, they won a few times as well.

    My mums friend (who is a breeder) has a Phalene who wins a lot of competitions and dog shows as she is just so gorgeous and unusual while still maintaining breed standards (perfect tricolour and exactly 11 inches tall)
