Entering Hank in Firedog Photo Contest - Prizes from Kodak and Circuit City

***dogs4life*** · 12-02-2007, 05:10 PM

I'm entering Hank into the Firedog Contest, I'm sure they're not looking for a dainty little chi, but thought I'd try

I'm certain a working, hunting or herding breed will win

I'd enter Montana but she is scared of cameras and spotlights so we wont bother entering her.

Which photo of Hank should I enter? #1, #2, #3, etc ?

I think the last two are good--he looks so dignified, and ready to save the day! lol

I absolutly like number 5, and Well i think he might be quite the fit.. That little bugger might just have the personality of a firedog.....
I cross my fingers for you!!!

He really is a big dog in an itsey bitsey body. He almost looks like a soldier in the last, 6th photo and a sales clerk in the 5th photo. Thanks for your comments, it's just too hard to choose on my own

DogLover8 · 12-02-2007, 07:23 PM

I like last two the most. I was thinking you should setup a poll. LOL

Good idea!

Doglover1988 · 12-02-2007, 08:15 PM

Going by the clarity of the pictures I would go with number 4 or 6. Clearer pictuers are more likely to win contests. Good luck!

I totally agree, a clearer pict would have better chances. Sorry, I'm not that great at taking pictures....science is more my thing. The better pictures of Hank were actually taken by my 3 yr old daughter and Jeff, they are way more artistic than me.

Maybe if a certain pose is a favorite, I can have Jeff try to recreate the pose....

***Swiftwind*** · 12-03-2007, 12:03 AM

Gosh, it's hard to choose. I think I'd go for number 5, as it shows a bit of personality. Otherwise, I'd go for number 1 or 6. Good luck!!

***dogs4life*** · 12-05-2007, 10:48 AM

Looks like a tie! We'll take fresh photos for a tie breaker.... I'm not sure if I can recreate the last pose, he does not stand like that as much anymore.

I just checked the contest site...looks like fierce competition.

***dogs4life*** · 12-08-2007, 07:42 PM

Ok, so we tried to recreate the poses but Sam was jealous and the photo shoot did not go well. Oh well!

Here's my submission, keep your fingers crossed.
