Dogster Photo Contest: Dogs of the Week Winners (Feb 06, 2025)

This Week’s Winner

Name: Gabby
Breed: Labrador Retriever
Fun Fact: Gabby is our sweet Labrador who is 14 yrs old. We did not think she would make it to 14 due to being born with hip dysplasia and being on join supplements all her life. She is one of three labs we have and definitely the boss of the house. She has quite the personality and is very sassy. She does what she wants and that is it.

Cutest

Cutest Dog

Name: Poppy
Breed: Dutch Smoushond
Fun Fact: Poppy is a 6 year old male rescue. He and his 7 litter mates were homeless in Tijuana. They were taken across to California and fostered and adopted from Olympia, WA. He was the last pup. I was told Schnauzer mix. In doing some DNA testing and other digging of I formation, I am convinced he is one of new hybrid Dutch Smoushond. I have made collages using several pics of Poppy at various ages and random pics of the breed. People who are around Poppy almost as much as me think all are Poppy. For sure, he’s smart, funny, playful, and cute as a bugs ear.
