The 2025 Good Dog Photo Contest

Thanks to all—and stay tuned!

The 2025 Good Dog Photo Contest is now closed, and G&G editors are busy going through the thousands of entries. We will select one overall winner and one sleeping winner, who will be featured in the December 2025/January 2026 issue of Garden & Gun. The overall winner will receive a prize pack from G&G and the sleeping dog winner will receive a plush dog bed from Crypton.

The overall winner, sleeping dog winner, honorable mentions, and readers’ choice winners will be announced here on November 4.

Thank you to all who entered and voted. It was a joy to see all of the great photos of your good dogs!
