So How do you get your photo on what part of your group to submit your entery.
Jordan,
Thanks for the question! A lot of Dogsters may not have ever entered a Dogster photo stroll or contest so this a great chance to explain how it works.
Go to your Dogster Home page and then go to the button near the top of the page that says MY Account. When you click on it you will then be directed to a page that shows all your Dogsters. Next to each picture is a set of options. Choose Manage My Photos. Either choose a photo you already have loaded onto Dogster for a page or load on a picture you want to enter.
Once you choose the photo and you can then tag it with the required tag. In this case the tag to use is Best Friends Contest ‘06. Then, when someone calls up that stroll or contest via the Search Photo tags on the Dogster Home page they will see your photo and those of everyone else who is entering the contest or taking the stroll.
If you want to see the current entries, just click on the highlighted link that says Best Friends Contest ‘06 in the post above.
Good luck in the contest!
how do i find out if my dog is mixed ?
Thanks for barking in Ashley.
Usually its not too hard to tell if you have a mixed breed dog. The hard part is telling what the mix is. Not that it really matters for most of us.
If anyone has a better answer, please bark in!
