A working dog calendar competition has just kicked off – with farming dog owners urged to submit pictures of their prized pets to be in with a chance of winning €200 gift cards.

Run by water fittings specialists Philmac, the calendar contest (as the name suggests) will see 12 winners chosen to feature in Philmac’s ‘Working Dog Calendar 2022’ – with their owners each getting a gift card.

However, time is of the essence, with a deadline set of September 1 – so farmers should get their pooch pics in ASAP.
