Today marks an important day in GooberStan. We are naming the winners in our First Annual Beard Competition in honor of my Dale buddy, Dovah Doo, the longest beard bearer in GooberStan. He went to the Rainbow Bridge very suddenly in October, and I miss him something terrible! Here is his juicy 8 inch beard in all its glory!
So, without further ado, here are our entrants!
Stella my sissy (Lakeland Terrier) ~ .75 inches
Stanley [me] (Airedale Terrier) ~ 2.5 inches
Jackson (Wire Fox Terrier) ~ 3 inches
Molly (Airedale Terrier) ~ 4 inches
Noah (Airedale Terrier) ~ 4.25 inches
Maggie (Airedale Terrier) ~ 4.5 inches
Willow (Airedale Terrier) ~ 4.5 inches
Now for our runner up!
If for some reason the winner of the Longest Beard portion of the contest is unable to perform their duties, then the first runner up will assume the title and role of Longest Beard Winner. Our first runner up for the Longest Beard in the First Annual GooberStanian Beard Competition is... a tie between Persephone the Kerry Blue Terrier & her mama, Bailey; both at 5.5 inches! Well done ladies!
Ms. Bailey (Kerry Blue Terrier) ~ 5.5 inches
Now please join me in giving a big round of applause to the winner of our Longest Beard portion of the contest... BUSTER the Kerry Blue Terrier! Way to go, Buster! That's one mighty fine beard you have there. Congratulations!
Buster (Kerry Blue Terrier) ~ 5.75 inches

i just need a little time to
collect my thoughts..they are so scattered! the gurleez are trying to
find them now!!!
Wowie! This competition was such fun!! We loved all the photos and the beards were impressive. It was a tough competition, but those Kerry blues definately took the title!
Thank you for the honour - we enjoyed taking part. We are a little ashamed because we think our beard measurements may have been altered somewhere along the way, but hey ho - a beard's a beard, right?
As for beard-growing tips - I'm not sure, but I have written a couple on my blog....haven't a clue if they will work though.
Love Molly and Gertrude

I applaud you all for your great beard growing abilities! I had no idea dog beards could get so long, you taught me something Stan!
Hey Stanley, congrats to the winners, they were PAWSOME! I'm feeling rather beardly-follicly challenged right now! Hehehe! Thanks for running the contest, I'm going to make sure I drink more apple juice so that I can enter again next year! J x

What a fun contest! Alas, we are not bearded in my house. Maybe we could have a contest I could win, like largest cranium. Or most impressive leg to belly circumference ratio.
wally.
Hi, Stan!
Congratulations to the winners and to all those who entered the contest!
Sure you all had fun!
Kisses and hugs

CONGRATULATIONS to ALL of them!!!! Even though all of them didn't win the titles, they all are still winners! I wish I had a beard than I could join too. But hey, what do you say if you start another competition which other doggies in blogger can join too? What about the 'Longest Ear' or the 'Longest Tail'?
Love licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
What a fun contest!! I am certainly impressed with all the contestants! :) Congrats!!!!
Congratulations to the winners! Those are some very impressive beards.
Sweet beards! I have some hairs on my chinny chin chin but alas, no beard. That was amazing to see!
I am so jealous of everyones beard. My mom trims mine often because she says I don't keep it clean enough. And I ask her, Who's fault could that be Mom. Great beards everyone. Love,Neko
