Showing Off Your Dogs—Round 4

We know Garden & Gun readers love their dogs. So when we asked for submissions for our latest Good Dog Photo Contest, we expected to receive some great ones. But we didn't expect just how many terrific photos would come pouring in. We received nearly 1,000 pics of dogs running, swimming, hunting, playing, sleeping, and, well, just being dogs.

Since we couldn't possibly choose just one winner, we divided the entries into four categories: Dogs at Play, Dogs at Rest, Dogs in the Field, and Dogs Being Dogs. And in addition to naming four winners, we also included an honorable mention in each category. So without further ado, the winners of the fourth round of the Good Dog Photo Contest are:

DOGS AT PLAY: Leo, a Labrador retriever from Powhatan, Virginia

DOGS AT REST: Bleu and Bandit, cur hounds from McDonough, Georgia

DOGS IN THE FIELD: Ridge, a Labrador retriever from Gee Ridge, Arkansas

DOGS BEING DOGS: Willie, a boxer from Louisville, Tennessee

The winning canines will receive a G&G dog collar along with koozies and a G&G hat for their faithful masters. Check out the galleries to see all of our favorite entries, and thanks to everyone who entered for sharing your photos with us. If you missed out this round, not to worry. Stay tuned for Round 5!
