[@GlobalistJuice]

Man is the luckiest of all things living on this planet . . . for he has captured the love of dogs.

[@belle369]

Globalist Juice I agree.

[@gooddogcalendar3016]

[@hydebordercollie5620]

My friend Kim and her Border Collie Rukus was in this video. Nice run, guys!!!!

[@theresauptagrafft3314]

The flag you saw was the Louisiana state flag. They had all the state flags up because its a national event.

[@cathyanderson8197]

Julie you know I have those same rites. This is as far as I will go on this forum.

[@randomamerican471]

Imagine seeing the walk through without hearing an explanation of it's purpose, hehe.

[@jeremytag3008]

So is an "all American " dog a mixed breed dog?

[@zacGmusik]

jeremy tag that’s correct.

[@ceecee8274]

I don't believe so . I could be wrong. I feel like all american is based on one, if it was generations in america. Two if the things is does and the way it holds it self and doggy "mannerisms" and characteristics classifies it as "all american". Not to be confused with the traits of a singular breed. Cross breeding is there for mixed and results in sometimes different traits of the dog. Most breeds already contain the origin and where is was founded and based on in the name.

[@zacGmusik]

Tee Tee if the dog is a mixed breed of any kind, it is considered and must be listed as “All American”. My pup runs agility, she’s a Border Collie/Lab mix. We had to list her as “All American”

[@ceecee8274]

@@zacGmusik Okay that makes sense its slang then or originated as slang. Im sure if someonenwas competing with a dog from germany that happened to be a german breen and different parent they wouldnt call it all american. I think theres a few tgings that would also make the dog all american . All deeply mixed can be considered all american .

[@zacGmusik]

Tee Tee correct. That’s a good question actually. I’m interested to look into that haha

Confederate flag hanging in the background was sickening but dogs were great.

[@peanutbutter4649]

I just love the reactions at the end tbh they are adorable

[@SilverFlame819]

That Keeshond "white dog" totally made me laugh. His contact zone touch was so cute. Like, "I'm on it, mom! Are you looking??"

[@mariagriffin1518]

I was so honored to compete in the AKC NAC this year!

[@belle369]

[@jackiemuir4160]

Does anyone know what Pinks time actually was in the end?

[@SilverFlame819]

Says online Annie 32.30, P!nk 32.09.

[@fraserfamily6490]

jk

[@thebyrd7850]

Anyone notice how the handler drags the dog out at 42:46? The dog's manner towards her throughout the routine seems one of abuse.

[@lexihulick1155]

The handler was not dragging the dog out by the collar. The dog was just happily playing tug with the leash.

[@nicolebaar1223]

Stop being idiotic they were fine

[@jackiemuir4160]

chris byrd, look again. It wasnt being dragged out in an abusive manner... it was hanging into its lead. Tug game.

[@jackiemuir4160]

And in what way does it look abused??

[@angealyna422]

Definitely agree that it was simply a learned (altbough naughty) behavior of playing tug with the leash.
