Puppies Category 1st Place Winner, Monica van der Maden, Netherlands
Title of image: ‘The Little Twins’
Dogs: Macy & Vino, Weimaraner
The breeder and I were in a shopping mall together where we had so much fun during this photoshoot. It can be very difficult to photograph two puppies together let alone a whole litter of puppies especially in a shopping mall (!). Everyone wanted to pet the puppies because they were so sweet and adorable.
But when Jose (the breeder) placed the two pups together they started to wash each other…

Puppies Category 2nd Place Winner, Carlos Aliperti, Brazil
Title of image: ‘Father and Son’
Dogs: Border Collies
I have a great passion for all my 5 faithful friends, however, this is a photograph with a very special meaning, because it is a moment of pure relationship between father (Toddy) and son (Ted) and that brings me a huge missing. On October 22, 2018 Toddy passed away, victim of a great cruelty: poisoning. Since then it is very difficult to overcome the loss and I consider this award a well-deserved tribute to my dear companion of all hours.
I am a graphic designer and photography has an important presence in my work. Besides my dogs, my taste for photography is very eclectic because I photograph landscapes, architecture, industries, products, street and fine art.

Title of image: ‘Dark dawn with Noah’
Dog: Noah, Labrador Retriever
Little Noah was so much fun to photograph. Once in a while she suddenly got the zoomies and began running around like a crazy pup. It was a dark and rainy December morning and there were still some raindrops on the plants around us. Noah was completely wet from running around through the plants by the time we were done taking photo’s. Between those crazy moments she had some seconds of inner peace and rest. That’s when I took this shot. She sat down, looked up at her owner with her little wet ears and you could tell on her naughty nose that she was having a great time exploring the world.
