Is your dog show worthy?
With the famous Westminster Kennel Club dog show right around the corner, here's your chance to see if your pooch has what it takes to be "in the ribbons."
As we did last year, we will forward your dog's photos to an AKC-licensed judge, who will offer informal comments about how well your dog measures up to the official standard, or blueprint, for the breed.
Please, no "professional" show dogs. This is for amateurs only!
Here's how to participate:
1. Take two photographs of your dog: a "head shot" (preferably a three-quarter view of his head) and a "stack shot" (a side profile). See examples below.

2. Using our MyCapture function, submit your photos, along with your dog's name, age and breed, as well as your name, town and state.
3. Check newsday.com/virtualdogshow late next week to see what the judges have to say!

Thanks for something fun!
I already know my whippet wont pass this head shot contest, He was the last of the litter, seems he wasn't good enough for show. They said his ears wouldnt stand up just so. He was half the price of the other pups in his group. Little did they know they passed on a Gem of a Soul!
Hey Rosa, know the feeling.
My little Tinkerbell would be laughed out of the ring with her Chihuahua/JRT mix, but to me she will always be the "WINNER OF MY SHOW." Ladies, keep the Valium handy if anything happens to Tinkerbell - I will need some!
Just would not be fair to have these other dogs compete against "Chicken Loving, Pillow Hogging" Tinkerbell! (hee, hee)
