<b>Photograph</b><br><br>

Do you have a photograph of yourself and your dog at the Championship Show that you have just emerged victorious from? If so please email it to <a href="mailto:press.office@thekennelclub.org.uk">press.office@thekennelclub.org.uk</a> as this will be crucial in helping us to get the story out there.<br><br>

Some photograph hints:<br><br>
<ul>
<li>It would be great if the photograph is of you and your dog at the actual show that you have won at and are telling us about in this form, so that we can visualise where you were when you won!</li>
<li>It is also nice to have the rosette that you won in the photograph with you, just to ‘tell the story’ of your success in pictures.</li>
<li>The more cuddly and warm the picture the better. If you and your dog are cuddling then it really shows your close relationship well.</li>
<li>Finally – The photograph should not be one taken by a commercial photographer on behalf of a publication or newspaper as this will incur costs for the Kennel Club and could infringe copyright laws. Always best to send one of your own or one taken by somebody who you know won’t mind us using it!</li></ul><br><br>
