We welcome first time sponsor, Anonymous Dog Lover, to National Purebred Dog Day, and they bring a fun and “doubly” challenging photo challenge. Be sure to read the rules carefully on this one.
They look innocent now, but canine partners in crime do their best work behind your back. When they are two different breeds, each brings a different “skill set” to the mischief.
The challenge: Your challenge is to capture a “crime scene” with the perpetrators on hand. Note that this challenge requires two different dog breeds, so if you don’t already have them, borrow a breed, so to speak, and make sure he or she is a dog that gets along with the one you’ve got! And don’t forget the sign! (see below)
