To celebrate extraordinary dogs everywhere, Eukanuba has launched a nationwide search via Facebook to find and feature a dozen top dogs in an exclusive 2013 calendar. Owners of exceptional canines will have an opportunity to enter the contest during 11 entry periods, each with three phases - submission, judging and voting. The categories include: Boxer, Yorkshire Terrier, Spaniel, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Dachshund, Labrador Retriever, Chihuahua, senior (7+ years), puppy (under 1 year) and a submission period for "all breeds." In addition to representing their breed and/or age group, each winner will receive a year's supply of Eukanuba dog food.

"All of us at Eukanuba are committed to providing extraordinary nutrition so dogs look and perform at the top of their game, so what better way to showcase our mission than to feature 12 great examples every day of the year," said Manuel Miyar, associate marketing director, Eukanuba . "When we decided to create a calendar, we thought our fans would jump at the chance to submit their dogs for consideration and getting our Facebook community involved to help choose our calendar canines will make the experience fun for all of us."

About the Contest

Owners who think their dog is calendar-worthy should visit Facebook.com/Eukanuba, "Like" the page and go to the "Calendar Contest" tab to upload a picture and details about their canine. At the close of each submission period, Eukanuba will select five finalists to represent that category and photos will be posted in an online gallery for voting by Facebook fans. The dog with the most votes in each category will represent their breed and/or age group in the 2013 Eukanuba calendar and receive a one-year supply of Eukanuba dog food.
