Wiggles Bl…

Did you watch this first show? If so, what did you think of it?

I guess I should have known that "Hollywood" would circumvent the real dog/person bond, and boy! did it ever. "Stupid pet tricks sink Greatest American Dog" is a Reuters article:www.reuters.com "...turns out to be (surprise!) far more about the people than the canines."

I could not even sit through five minutes of the show without feeling like I'd tuned in to a cross between "Desperate and Dateless" and a strange beauty pageant: for people. The dogs were more like accessories. I won't be back for the second episode.

Of course we're all prejudiced toward our own pets, but I told Wiggles when I first heard of the show/contest that he was already the most wonderful dog on the planet or in the entire solar system!

Thank you, Brea, for the lovely framed impressionistic framed picture of Wiggles, which I'm using here!

I agree completely - it was all about the people. I suggest we lose the people and keep the dogs and then it will be a good show. It seems to me it is just like every other "reality" tv show out there just with dogs sprinkled in. I won't be watching it again - it's back to Animal Planet for my family!

I personally enjoyed it. I have an acquaintance on there, Bill and Star. They are from the DFW area. I have meet Bill at several agility trials and he really is a great guy. It was fun to watch them on the show. So far what I have seen of it, they have shown him as Bill really is.... Makes me wonder about some of those other folks!

I'm very graphically challenged. If it's not in Arial 12 font, I'm lost! :-)

Would love to do that with Wiggles' Brea art, but don't know how :-(

I enjoyed it! Because I saw different personalities and traits in my clients both human and canine. My dogs aren't trained to do any sort of tricks like ridding skateboards jumping through hoops etc. They are just beautiful companions that fill my life with joy. To see people with different personalities and dogs with different temperments is entertaining to me. Imagine 12 people and 12 dogs with all their talents and quirky attitudes under the same "woof" competing for $250,000.00. Thats alot of doggie biscuits. Besides I want to see what happens to the older mans collie. Something tragic happenned and I want to know what it is.

That's kinda what I meant. What does training a dog to do tricks have to do with it being the Greatest American Dog? People having fun with their pets is great (David Hartwig and Skidboot spring readily to mind). I'm just trying to see how tricks equate with greatness.
