The best of the best
You guys weren’t fooling around when we asked for photo submissions of your dogs wearing their Paco Collars. We figured a handful of folks would submit, but no. . . we received a slew of entries.
There’s no way to calculate how many individual photo shoots were choreographed around the contest, but know that we fully appreciate each and every one of them. Alas, we did eventually have to narrow it down to one lucky winner. After much bickering and a little bloodshed, a winner emerged:

This is Bosie, as photographed by Craig Winsor, wearing The Patrick. But Craig is somewhat of a pro, even if it technically isn’t a full time career quite yet, so we selected another winner:

This is Sheena, photographed by Loretta Hodgdon in a more mild mannered moment (we did receive pictures of Sheena smothered in mud while going to the ground like a good terrier).
While these two are our official winners, we couldn’t let the following go without Honorable mention. Here are a few more of our favorites:

Marzipan modeling the Cheat and looking uber-enthusiastic about the whole thing, as photographed by Leah Hartlep

Alex demonstrating the durability of Paco Collars, as photographed by Pamela Rody.

Clover in a serene beach moment, as photographed by Joe Foster.
Again, thanks to everyone who participated. And feel free to continue sending us pictures. . . we’re always open to upgrade both our website and catalog shots if you have something better!
Look who’s back! Well, almost.
While he wasn’t quite allowed to have all the fun in the world, Paco had a great time this past weekend. You can see the whole story on his blog.
It’s so great to have our little guy almost 100% again. . . woohoo!
Wanna see your dog in print, sort of?
We’re in the process of making a new catalog and would love to include your dog. Why? Because Paco Collars are worn by real dogs who do real things in the real world (at least we hope so).
Here’s the deal: Submit your favorite photographs of your dog wearing its Paco Collar. There are no size requirements, no entry limits, jpg, png, and tif formats accepted, and please have it in by June 20th, 2008. E-mail submissions to info@pacocollars.com
Remember that this is for inclusion in a catalog, so a good photo of the product is preferred but not essential as we want to feature lifestyle shots (see the above photo, taken by our friend, as an example where a good photo trumps the product shot). Remember, dogs that own Paco Collars typically have it better off than most dogs, as they’re an active bunch, and that’s what we want to showcase.
As a bribe, we’re giving away a matching leash to our favorite submission, so start clicking!
p.s. if you’ve already sent photos in the past, you can still resend. . . even if we already have them you’ll be eligible for goods this round!
p.p.s. In an eco-friendly move, the catalog will come in CD format versus print, hence the “sort of” portion of this post’s title.
