IT'S finally arrived: decision time for the hundreds of competitors in the Southern Daily Echo's Prettiest Pooch competition.
Since we launched the event over two months ago we have been inundated with photographs of your dogs. One thing is obvious - there are a lot of very proud pet owners in Hampshire.
We asked if you wanted to nominate your dog as the prettiest most loveable hound in the county, and some 900 of you responded.
Don't miss today's Daily Echo with a special supplement giving you the chance to pick your top dog.
Now it's up to you.
We want you to let us know which pet you think is the most adorable. You can vote as many times as you wish - either by telephone, text message or by sending us the voting form found in the supplement. Full details of how to vote can be found on every page of pictures.
Once we have your final ten then our panel of judges will choose the winner and runners up.
The overall winner will receive a fabulous drawn portrait of their dog, framed and ready to hang. And there will be lovely runners-up prizes.
The judges' decision will be final and the usual Daily Echo rules apply.
Over to you then. No need to paws for thought, get dog-on with it, and help choose Hampshire's Prettiest Pooch.
If you love dogs, you'll love today's Daily Echo - we've hundreds of them!
