Best Derby Dogs Photo Contest


Here at Derbylife, we're very pro-dog. Em Dash got a puppy in October, and Mercy Less just adopted a puppy in the last week! We've met a lot of great derby dogs in our day, and this is a fun contest meant to celebrate all the fabulous dogs of derby. (Don't worry, cat lovers, we'll get to you next!)

We've gotten a ton of submissions, and have barely been able to keep up with them all, so we've closed submissions. We'll get the voting up within the next week. Check back for voting later!

To start us off, here's one of Em Dash and Schlitz of Gotham Girls Roller Derby:


And this is Mercy Less with new puppy, Paco!


Jack Lemmon reviews some scenes for This Is How I Roll. He is a big fan of men's roller derby, and an occasional chewer of knee pads. Photo submitted by This Is How I Roll filmmaker and former derby skater Kat Vecchio.

This little terror is Buster, Charlie Hustle's dog. He's dressed up to celebrate her being drafted to the Reservoir Dolls team with Mad Rollin' Dolls!

Man that puppy is CUTE Mercyless! Pickle and I are London Rollergirl and London Rollerdog when not skating for Queen and Country.

Ruby has welcomed many traveling derby folks to Denver.

As Ruby's campaign manager it's my duty to point out that many of the candidates have been involved in inappropriate sniffing and leg humping.
Rubes 2012!

...if I can teach my parents to make YouTube videos. My dog - on extended holiday on their farm because she can't come to Texas - has an amazing hip check on other dogs, but sadly a poor grasp on the concept of a high block.

Her name is Lottie Dogface Scruffbundle Wise.

is in my old league, Canberra Roller Derby, back in Oz. We tried to put her dog in the photo, too, but Inky was too smart to stick around for that kind of humiliation.

Transcontinental videography takes awhile -- especially when your folks who are looking after your dog live on a farm in the middle of nowhere and lose power for days due to a crazy storm, and thus cannot have demands for videos sent to them through the magic of the internet -- and I'm sad I've missed the submission deadline. Regardless, I am sharing the amazing video I have made of my dog's derby moves, because it's kinda hilarious. If I say so myself.

Dogs and Derby just go together!

That's why I created a facebook group specifically for ogling the derby cute:

Can't see this album. Can you send a pic to [email protected], pls?

That's my boy Uggi up there. He was a stray in South Los Angeles where someone shot him (with a shotgun), shooting his tail off. Animal Control picked him up and from there Villalobos Rescue Center got him out.....that's when I saw him online and had to have him. Now there is a chance someone might recognize him. If you watched the very first season of Pit Bulls and Parolees on Animal Planet you would have seen us in episode #2. :) Yep, my dog is a TV star!
