Glossy Dogs and Prancing Handlers

Published on 7 March 2025 at 16:29

Ready to sit down by the fire on Sunday and watch the special that is Crufts?

I love the way that the judges deliberate on which human looked the most like a trick pony trooping around the show ground.

Don’t get me wrong the dogs always look good and behave really well. Personally I wouldn’t be able to avoid giving the podium a quick spray, or perhaps greeting a fellow competitor using the standard hello greeting.

But no they take their handlers for a trot and then wait to see which one gets the rosette without the slightest temptation to do a bum drag. 

I would love to see the categories given a bit of a modern twist.

How about which human can throw a tennis ball the furthest without it being retrieved?

What about poo bag subtlety?

Maybe even which dog can make their human look like a yo-yo on the end of one of those retractable leads? 

All suggestions gratefully received. 

At the end of it all may the best dog win and the best human pony get a rosette.
