It's four years since Country Life last sought out Britain’s Naughtiest Dog — and we're doing so again. Does yours fit the bill?
Last time, Rabbit was crowned for his escapades in the back of an Amazon van. Now, Country Life is once again on the lookout for Britain’s Naughtiest Dog.
Does your dog come when he’s called or go selectively deaf and disappear down a hole — often for several days?
Has he ever snaffled a whole roast chicken or, worse still, Christmas lunch for 10?
Perhaps he’s chewed his way methodically through a pile of laundry, paying particular attention to anything with a designer label?
If this sounds familiar, your pet could win the chance to appear on the cover of Country Life.
In 2016, Heinz 57 terrier Rabbit, owned by Violet Irwin, won the title of Britain’s Naughtiest Dog thanks to his habit of eating armchairs, toys and cash, topped off by his unscheduled great adventure when he stowed away in the back of an Amazon delivery van. Rabbit — and Violet — went on to star in the BBC documentary about the magazine, Land of Hope and Glory: British Country Life, while Rabbit was even featured on the magazine’s cover.
To celebrate our love of cheeky canines, be they terrier, labrador or something entirely unidentifiable, we are once again searching for Britain’s Naughtiest Dog, in association with Lily’s Kitchen.
The winner will take part in a photoshoot and be the subject of a feature in the October 23 issue of the magazine, as well as receiving a hamper of Lily’s Kitchen goodies.
