It was great that there was such a lot of contestants from near and far, and it was a pleasure to see many splendid photos (all special in their own way),  and many people responding by casting their votes.   I was pleasantly surprised the amount of votes Tyler & Max received, and wasn't expecting it.    


I appreciate that the system used did allow everyone (not just forum members) to enter & vote, but I personally felt it only fair to put a score for every photo, not just some, and it was very obvious that some only voted for certain dogs

Tyler's photos were lovely and quite close to being a winner as far as I can remember. I loved the one of her in the garden mid action.

Yes, I also went through them all giving every dog a mark.  I was about the third person voting at the time I did it and was surprised that even with my rather high marking system the scores were still coming up so much lower than I had voted.  All looked fair enough though and I appreciate all the work that went into making it work and brilliant to hear it raised so much money.

Yes! I totally agree. Folks have obviously worked hard to put the whole thing together

I couldn't make a definite choice in any of the categories, so I just had to give each photo a mark. The standard of the photos taken was superb and some people needed a lot of patience to catch their dogs in a particular way or with a certain expression.


It's been a great contest and wonderful to see entries from all over UK and abroad. And to boot, it's made a few welcome bob for the Kennel Fund. Can't wait for the next one - I might even have a digital camera by then!

BTW Carol - hope Whistler isn't hungover LOL!

I totally agree with that. I obviously gave my Casper 10/10 but I also made sure I voted for every dog as I don't think it would have been fair otherwise.

But it doesn't really matter who voted for who etc now as I think the Dog Show was a great idea, it raised a great amount of cash for the Kennel Fund and I had great fun looking at all the beautiful pictures. Well done to the organisers, and well done to the winners.

love the look of Whistler, and sure him and Biscuit would love to go on the raz!  It's just that Biscuit is naughty enough without the demon drink!!!
