Dog Photographer of the Year 2011 - Entries.

4 long weeks ago we posted about the KC's 2011 'Dog Photographer of the Year' competition. Well seeing as the competition is officially closed to entries as of today, we thought we'd share our entries. We entered 3 of the 5 categories - Dog Portrait, Dogs at Play and Man's Best Friend.

We entered this picture of Rafferty in 'Dog Portrait'.
Doesn't she look lovely?


We decided on this baby picture of Monroe for 'Dogs at Play'.


And we chose this shot of Lola on my slippers for 'Man's Best Friend' :)


It was so tough choosing which pictures to enter! We have literally hundreds of pictures of the girls and we love them all The toughest choice was picking our 'Dog Portrait' entry, we had to rope in a friend to help us with the final 2!

Now for the judging to begin! We wish everyone who entered the very best of luck and to anyone who hasn't already entered hurry up, it's for such a good cause and today is the final day! To slip in a late entry or to find out more, click here.


We'll no doubt do a post once the winners/runners up are announced, so we can share loads of fabulous pictures with you :) The winners will be announced via the KC website and the pictures posted on Flickr. The Grand Prize winner will get their award at this years Discover Dogs. Judging will take place 14th September and winners/runners up will be announced 15th/16th September, when we should be about to post about it, but of course we'll be back long before all that happens ;)

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.

Updates, reviews, news and opinions? (Christmas Competition!)

We'll start with the updates shall we? :)

So all the girls (and Alfie) are doing well, Lily's eyes are fully open today, whilst poor Alfie only has one open! He looks like he's winking and we keep calling him a pirate xD We'll post pictures of them tomorrow when we have decent light to work with, but we dare say his second eye will be open by then :(

Other than that, (edging towards reviews now) we had a lot of packages come today from hyperdrug and bonniedog :)
From hyperdrug we had 2 boring items, some Royal Canin puppy milk and Sherleys puppy wormer, but we also had a fleecey Kong "Snugga Wubba", a Kong toy that I've now forgotten the name of >.<, a Kong puppy teething bone and a Jolly Teaser Ball, plus some Coachies puppy training treats xD
From bonniedogs we had an EzyDog harness and lead in chocolate  brown (for Monroe). 
All in all very pleased, the Kong Snugga Wubba went down a storm, as did the Coachies and the EzyDog harness and lead are proving a sound investment :) (We're ordering one for the rest of the girls too, but decided to order only one to begin with to try the size out on them all :) Sadly even the smallest size, adjusted as much as possible is still too big for teeny tiny Rafferty, so we'll have it altered once we receive it!)

Now the news and opinions part of this post are kinda rolled into one!
We here at "AHWTH" have been thinking about running a "Christmas Competition" and want to hear your opinions! We'll pop a poll below this, along with some idea of the kind of prizes and rules we'd have for the competition, as well as any restrictions or special requests :) Feel free to vote or email me with suggestions!




So, seeing as we loved them so much, we thought as prizes we'd offer the following*;
1st place = 1 EzyDog Harness and EzyDog Vario2 Training Lead, in a size** and colour of your choice, currently retailing at a total of £28.98.
2nd place = A Kong "Snugga Wubba" in blue or pink and a 300g jar of Coachies (puppy or adult), which are currently £7.94 for both.
3rd place = A goodie bag of sweets and treats containing a 75g bag of Coachies, a 50g bag of Fish4Dogs Super Stars Training Treats and a 325g bag of Burns Keltie Treats, altogether retailing at the bargain price of £3.18!
*Plus a few bits we've yet to try actually!
**Price does vary according to size, we calculated with the price of the X Small.

How to enter!
Step 1 = Subscribe ;)
Step 2 = Send us a picture of your beloved furbaby! (And you, if you so desire :P)
Step 3 = Sit back with your fingers crossed ^^

Please send your pictures to; competitions.ahwth@hotmail.co.uk

We will take entries from our start date (which we will post soon, if we decide to definitely go ahead) and run it for a month, after which we'll take a week out for judging, before letting you know our winners via email*** and a blog post and ordering all the prizes :)
***For the winners.
All the winners will be chosen by me and Jonny and any disagreement between us will go to a vote via a poll.
All breeds are welcome, although species wise we do ask you stick to dogs, age also isn't a problem!
Just send us your cutest picture and we'll do the rest.
Winner pictures will be posted in a special entry, along with a few details about your pet and a quote from the winning owner, so please keep this in mind when you enter!
We may also ask for a follow up picture with your pet and it's prize, so again, please remember this :)
We will not post your pictures or details anywhere else, scouts honour xD
At this time, the competition is restricted to the UK, in the future however, if all goes well, we intend to run them worldwide!

Let us know what you think!!!

Love and licks as always,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Alfie!
