Honey’s is proud to be sponsoring Britain’s Naughtiest Dog Competition organised by Country Life Magazine.
To enter all you have to do is email countrylifedogs@futurenet.com with:
- The name, breed and age of your dog
- A good-quality photograph of your dog
- Up to 150 words outlining your dog’s naughtiest moments
- Your name, address and telephone number
The closing date is April 28 2026. Of course, we can’t believe that any Honey’s fed dog could possibly be naughty… nevertheless in the words of Country Life:
"Sometimes a thoroughly good dog is, well, just a little bit boring. Of course, we wholeheartedly applaud those angelic members of the canine race who are immaculately trained—the ones that sit perfectly on the peg, stay in their beds at mealtimes and always walk to heel, but sometimes, just sometimes, we long for a tumultuous tale, perhaps one that features an impulsive labrador with selective hearing (‘Fenton, Fenton, Fenton, Fenton!’) or a tiny terrier that terrorises the postal service. We revel in stories of cringe-making disobedience and destruction—from counter-surfers and coffee-table chewers to knicker shredders and puddle makers—and want to hear all about the dogs that enjoy a secret life of crime or know the power of a well-placed poo."
The winner will take part in a photoshoot (stills and film), a quickfire video Q&A and feature in the July 22 issue of the magazine this year, as well as receiving a hamper of goodies from Honey’s and a copy of Country Life’s Book of Dogs.
