The 30 best dog photos of the year
Make no bones about it — The Kennel Club's Dog Photographer of the Year contest curates some adorable snapshots of dogs.
Photographing dogs can be challenging. Often time, it takes several tries and lots of treats to get the perfect portrait. Spontaneous cuddles and playful leaps are also difficult to capture. But these photographers were up to the task.
Featured categories in the 2018 contest include Oldies and Puppies as well as Dogs At Work, Dogs at Play, and a category for up-and-coming-photographers under 11 years of age.
Here are the 30 best dog photos of the year.
Third Place, Puppies: "Let's call it Roly Poly Puppy" by Robyn Pope
Robyn Pope
"In this image, I knew the moment Snickers began rolling around on the blanket that I had to embody his zest for life in a photo that would help him find the perfect playful home. I truly love working with dogs of all backgrounds to capture extraordinary photos worthy of even the most sophisticated pet parents and discerning commercial clientele. At home, we have six gentle giants of our own who serve as ambassadors on our seven-acre pet photography property and the ultimate creative muses."
Second Place, Puppies: "Sticking Together" by Charlie Nunn
Charlie Nunn
"Since early last year, my partner Raymond Janis and I have had the honor of supporting the Vanderpump Dogs Foundation in Los Angeles by photographing their adoptable dogs. In July 2017, we met these adorable beagle mix puppies. As Raymond tried to wrangle them, something magical happened and I was able to capture a perfect moment of a puppy family sticking together."
First Place, Puppies: "Little Ceylin" by Klaus Dyba
Klaus Dyba
"Ceylin was the second dog of my friend Birguel. The photo means much too me since her first dog, also an Italian greyhound died at puppy age in a car accident. Thirteen weeks old, Cylin has the whole life in front of her. You can see it in her expression."
