Greatest American Dog Competition
CBS 8/7c 7/17/08
It was an eventful week in the house full canine reality show contestants. After last week's embarrassment for Tillman, the bulldog would not be bullied (sorry!) and got into a tiff with Elvis (imagine a Jack Russell in a dog fight, nah couldn't happen!). Anyway, Tillman got the worst of it with a nip or claw to the eye area. Poor Tillman! Elvis and owner David were banished to the dog house for the afternoon.
Later a scare with Star. Apparently out running in the yard, she got wrapped up in wire or bit by an animal or snake (it was never clarified and no wire or anything was found) but the poor old girl had to have stitches in the wound on her ear. Star's owner Bill was mess, missing his wife and family and now Star injured. The old girl came through in the end though and won the honors of the night. Good Girl Star!
Kenji the Giant Schnauzer and owner Elan had the worst of the night in the dog show competition. Kenji is a very young dog at 1 year, Elan has good control over her for that age and should be proud of that. The judges don't need to be so nasty in tone (at least the one that said Elan was annoying her) every show does not need a Simon Cowell. Kenji got away at one point and went into full puppy play mode, kudos to the production department at CBS for the banjo music background (it started in my head at the same time!) The lesson to learn from Elan's training style is not to over correct your dog. The dog is still listening and on command even if it is not looking directly at you.
The drama award goes to (and we can probably safely award this for the season now) Beth Joy and Bella Starlet, imagine that. Beth Joy has continually reminded us that she always dresses her dog in dog clothes matching her own. Tonight Bella Star (the dog) was dressed in a lime green sundress with purple piping (I think I sell the dress on Dogs Rule Iowa) anyway, I was surprised it was such a cheap outfit for TV. At least make something fancy. The judges let her have it, they couldn't judge the grooming of the dog blah, blah, blah. Beth Joy would not let it go and cried and plead her case that the dog is shaved down and just had surgery so she only dressed her to cover her shaved parts. Bella Starlet did very well with her command following tonight, and that was all that mattered. Most people don't like dogs wearing clothing, they don't get it and they don't like it. Never dress your dog in dog clothes if you are going to a competition.
