The Field

Giving dogs their day

THE FIELD is delighted to announce the launch of the Top Dog Awards 2024, held in association with Skinner’s. The Awards are set out to search for not only the best gundog (and non-gundog breeds) who can retrieve with excellence or show promise in the field but for our other canine companions too. From the terrier to the precocious puppy, dedicated assistance dogs to courageous service dogs, The Field Top Dog Awards are open to all canine creeds. There are 10 categories to enter, which will be judged by a combination of our expert panel and a public vote (see category list opposite).

Two categories are looking specifically for exceptional imagesa retrieve and found waiting on the gun bus, the spaniel who stole the sausages at elevenses, the terrier who raised the alarm when their owner was taken ill, or the rescue dog who is now the family linchpin. From hound to heeler, lurcher to labrador and cocker to Clumber, we want to hear all about them.
