Puppies USA 2010 Photo Contests

Little Angels
Puppies can be cuddly, snuggly, and sweet as pie. When your puppy is sleepy and curled up on your lap or wagging his tail and giving you wet kisses, he’s a little endorphin generator. He’s never cuter than when he’s behaving himself. Catch your puppy on camera looking angelic, and enter your best photo in our Little Angels photo contest.

Little Devils
Puppy parents know their little ones can also be full of mischief, and that their endless energy and curiosity can get them in trouble. Before all that careful training kicks in, you might catch your pup chewing up your favorite shoes, shredding the newspaper, or stealing food from the table. Snap your baby being naughty, and enter your best photo in our Little Devils photo contest.
