2026 CALENDAR CONTEST!
IF YOU LOVE IT, BOOP IT!
Get those cameras ready for our 2026 Calendar Contest! Runs May 17-June 29. This is our yearly contest where the winners will be featured on next year's OBHR calendar! All bassets and basset mixes are welcome, no need to be from Ohio. And non basset OBHR alumni are welcome!
The dog(s) who take first place will be on the cover of next year's calendar and the 12 runners up will be on the months. We also try to get all non winning entries on the back cover!
This is a fundraiser so there is an entry fee and we ask you to share your entry to raise money for OBHR! $5 to enter and minimum $1 per bid after! Last year we raised $11,600 and our goal this year is to beat that! This helps up pay our vetting and boarding bills!
Remember best photos are taken in LANDSCAPE or HORIZONAL. We cannot print portrait photos without cropping out most of the dog.
The website will be active soon! Check back!
