Icon Challenge community gone to the dogs!

This community has a weekly icon contest that is open to all levels of iconmaking experience. It is also a place to share dog-related graphics, with an emphasis on icons.

Schedule of Contest
Each contest is 2-weeks in length, not including voting time. There is no specified schedule, to accommodate potential delays, etc.

Do's and Dont's
DO share graphics (icons, banners, wallpapers, etc) that are dog-related in theme.
DO make requests - if you want an icon made of your pup, go ahead and post the pic and ask iconmakers to have at it. :)
DO place graphics larger than 300 x 300 pixels behind a lj-cut.
DO include your rules regarding taking icons.
DO NOT mock, put down or make fun of icons. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, but please keep it constructive, not mean or condescending.
