Put your pooch to the test

1:25pm Monday 21st May 2007

The countdown is on to find Wiltshire's top dog in a competition organised by the Gazette & Herald and this year's Bowood Dog Show & Country Fair.

Your pooch doesn't have to have done anything dramatic - this award is open to all dogs - we just want to know what makes your pet special to you and your family.

Perhaps he or she is the prettiest, the best behaved, or even the oddest looking - whatever it is we want to hear from you.

The competition runs until the beginning of June and the finalists will be chosen at the end of May.

They will be invited to the grand final at Bowood Dog Show & Country Fair at Bowood House, near Calne, on Saturday, June 9.

The owner of the pet named as Wiltshire's top dog will win a beautiful framed photograph of their pet by top local photographer Jean Dupre.

The two runners up will receive smaller framed photographs by Mrs Dupre.

To enter, send your details and a photograph of your dog to Top Dog Competition, Wiltshire Gazette & Herald, 100 Victoria Road, Swindon, SN1 3BE. All the pictures of entrants will appear in a gallery here on www.gazetteandherald.co.uk
