\u00a9 Anastasia Vetkovskaya<\/em><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s title was awarded to Anastasia Vetkovskaya, a veterinary surgeon from Moscow, Russia.<\/p>\n

\u2018This particular image was taken during dog training one early autumn morning,\u2019 said Anastasia whose image of Sheldon, an English springer spaniel, won the \u2018Dogs at Work\u2019 category.<\/p>\n

Anastasia says she has devoted all her free time to photography since her husband gave her an SLR in 2007.<\/p>\n

\u2018My speciality is pets and I am inspired most by dogs and horses,\u2019 she explained.
\nTom Lowe, from North Tyneside came top in the Dogs at Play category with a photo of his pet Westie called Baxter.<\/p>\n

Other UK winners included Jamie Morgan from Maidstone, Kent who won the \u2018Dog Portrait\u2019 section; and Fiona Sami from Bristol who claimed first place in \u2018Man\u2019s Best Friend\u2019.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Smart, chief executive of competition organiser, the Kennel Club, said : \u2018Each of the winning photographers beautifully captured the essence of their canine subjects on camera, demonstrating how important dogs are to us in every walk of life.
\n\u2018The winners showed great technical skill and we look forward to seeing more work from them in the future.\u2019<\/p>\n

The best photos are on show at the Kennel Club in Mayfair, London, until 12 September.<\/p>\n
