DOGUE Coverdog 2026
Meet Our Winners!
The votes have been counted, the judges have spoken and the results are officially in!
After weeks of fabulous entries, fierce competition and some seriously tough decisions, we're thrilled to introduce our DOGUE Coverdog 2026 winners. And WOW, was it a close one! Our Top 3 were separated by just a few points, making this one of our toughest competitions to date.
From fabulous fashionistas and cheeky little characters to therapy dogs and incredible rescue stories, this year's winners truly have it all.
Chopper
Meet our 2026 Coverdog, Chopper! A cheeky little floof with a HUGE personality, Chopper is a social butterfly, professional poser and full-time attention seeker.
She loves people, pups, adventures and being involved in absolutely everything. With her camera-ready confidence, endless curiosity and love of life, Chopper brings a little sparkle wherever she goes.

Just a few points separated our Top 3, and these two superstars certainly gave our judges a tough decision!
Abby
Abby is a fluffy little superstar who treats the world like her personal red carpet! A natural in front of the camera, she loves dressing up, striking a pose and showing off her X-factor.
But Abby's star power goes beyond her fabulous looks. She also takes part in charity events supporting RSPCA WA and Guide Dogs WA, proving that a true Coverdog has a big heart too.

Dr Skye
Dr Skye is more than a handsome face. This gentle therapy dog visits Royal North Shore Hospital twice a week, bringing comfort and happiness to children, teenagers and hospital staff.
From cuddles to calming companionship, Skye has a very special gift for brightening difficult days. A beautiful reminder that Coverdog star quality comes from the heart.

Our DOGUE community had their say, and one very special pup captured their hearts!
Theodore
Cuddly, loving and just a little cheeky, Theodore is a Toy Cavoodle with a huge personality and an even bigger heart.
Having faced his own challenges with IVDD, Theodore continues to bring joy wherever he goes, proving that a positive spirit and plenty of cuddles go a long way.
Meet @theodore_thetoycavoodle →With over 1,500 comments, our DOGUE community certainly showed up! A very special mention to Winston and Mishka, who finished second and third in Pooch's Choice voting and will receive a little something special too.
Our Specialist Award Winners
Celebrating everything that makes our four-legged friends so special, from playful puppies and golden oldies to rescue superstars and DOGUE locals.
Mick
Once a racing greyhound who came last in every race, Mick is now winning at the only race that really matters: living his best spoiled pet life!
Rescued through Friends of the Hound, Mick is a goofy, gentle beach lover and aspiring snootermodel with personality for days.

Hopscotch
Small in stature, exceptional in confidence and wonderfully questionable in judgement! Hopscotch is a pint-sized explorer with the energy of a pinball machine and the curiosity of a detective.
Affectionately known as Scotch, this fearless little character has the looks of an angel, the personality of a gremlin and absolutely no plans to slow down.

Monroe
Sweet, gentle and always ready for a cuddle, Monroe is a beautiful senior girl with a heart of gold.
She's also a pet therapy dog who visits her local aged care facility each month, sharing love and companionship. When she's not brightening someone's day, you'll find her enjoying a romp at the beach.
Pedro
Part thug, part therapist, full-time character! Pedro is a one-of-a-kind Pug x Cavalier with a wardrobe bigger than some humans and enough personality to own any room.
A familiar face at DOGUE Bondi and the Country Retreat, Pedro proves that being a Coverdog isn't about fitting the mould. It's about being completely, unapologetically you.
