National Purebred Dog Day® is both honored and delighted to welcome Cherrybrook Pet Supplies as the sponsor of the Cherry Bomb Photo Bomb Challenge. Since 1969, Cherrybrook has been a trusted source for premium show, grooming, and pet supplies, helping exhibitors and devoted owners bring out the very best in their purebred dogs.
The challenge: Cherrybrook’s Cherry-Photo-Bomb” Photo Challenge celebrates the hilarious moments when your perfect shot is unexpectedly party-crashed by a streaking cat, tumbling toddler, curious cow, or the other dog that doesn’t want to be left out – so long as your purebred dog is the main subject. We know that a “planned” photo bomb doesn’t scream pure spontaneity, let alone a photo shot that requires a sign, so think of it as a controlled act of spontaneity: set the stage with your dog and the sign, and let the chaos happen. The more naturally spontaneous the photo bomb looks, the better its chances to win.
The prize: $150 “Cherrybucks” gift card (store credit)
