Beautiful! And the dog looked so happy and proud of himself it made me cry. He showed pure love for his mom and his job.

[@tomframe3422]

I just realised I was crying quite a lot too. What it this magical power of the dog dance? I think if you have ever loved a dog this makes you cry a happy cry.

[@mareemaree5091]

Me too.

[@warmpumpkinbread]

The very beginning where the dog is playing the flute just killed me instantly

[@limagibbs4780]

What's even greater is seeing the joy expressed on the dogs face, she enjoys dancing.

[@avrilpeters]

This makes me happy to see a beautiful dog full of life and boundless energy having lots of fun with their owner

[@susangordon1833]

Pure joy to watch and to see the connection between him and his mom tremendous...he was very proud if himself and he should be.. great performance.. congrats to both...

[@dennislaux]

Nothing brings more joy to this world than children and animals. All the politicians in the world don't do as much for people as a handful of pups.

[@penelope8557]

I have a confession to make: that pooch is a better dancer than I am.

[@blessedbe6460]

Penelope better than the trainer too!

[@juneevans8115]

Neve saw anything like this before. A truly lord of the dance

[@romifontana-daguerre5473]

I cant believe this is a thing! What a nice way to start my day. These two really love and trust each other.

[@AleMaia]

This is what dogs do just to please and be with us. How loyal and sweet these creatures are?❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Amazing!

[@maargenbx1454]

Geez...I can't even follow the routine in my Zumba class. Well done, doggo!

[@bobbiemooser7417]

Watching these dogs always make me cry. The partnership is so beautiful.

[@lori5455]

Amazing musicality on the part of the dog!! he barely misses a beat. 10/10 Michael Flatley would be proud!!

[@shanniworld8310]

Lucy was a HIT. Sure enough she was a proper Collie.

[@billyuk6339]

I have never seen two souls in tune with each other with such love. Bravo!

[@shanniworld8310]

OMG! I cried with pride and happiness. I have a well trained Lowchen. So, I have a tiny idea of what it takes to love and train a dog this well The bond is amazing and that is what made me cry for you with pride and happiness!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!! The perfect team.

[@horzeluv4eva533]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one crying watching this live😂

[@1packatak]

Wow!! Lowchens are amazing dogs!!!! One of my favorite breeds.

[@bonniecody160]

Hey, that dog knows musical beats, too! See how that dog stays on beat, hears to command all while enjoying the dance!!! Wow, some special animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheGeekMonster]

*sobs at the beauty*

[@Pixaley]

I don't even have words for how much this moved me. 2020, take that.

[@Rocadog]

Well, this dog is definitely better dancer than me!

[@tjgoldstein73]

wow. That is one hell of a complicated routine for a dog to remember... honestly, I can't even remember the steps to the 'cha-cha-cha' half the time.

[@thatsnotme3235]

Tj Goldstein and that's one step sadder since all u need to do is listen for the steps 😂😂😂😂

[@darkspells7928]

Yea the owner tells them what action to do if you watch there mouth closesly

[@nikkic83]

The dog isn’t remembering the routine it’s following directions from the trainer

[@deeb8282]

And I thought my dog was smart..brings me his bowl when hungry, spins when I tell him to twist, poops on command...yeah this dog has got him beat!! Loved that routine!! Woof..woof.

[@ritamorris2352]

Loved their performance. Lucy seems like such a calm lady, which I think, helps give the wonderful dog the ability to perform with grace and enthusiasm..the ending had me tapping my "paws." ♡♡

[@haileyhudson4157]

look at that GOOD DOG

[@calilovebug3897]

Made me cry. That happy happy dog,

[@MartaWomack]

That was magical! Utterly delightful to see. That made my heart happy to see a dog enjoy performing so much! I have something in my eye!

[@JustMe-mh2pn]

Michael Flatley! Who is that, please! Skiffle, you're the best thing I've ever seen. Stunning! What a bond these both have! A pure joy. And I cried after five seconds

[@comeagyn]

I truly hope this is as enjoyable for the animals as it is for our entertainment. performers may go through hell but they come out and put a smile on our face cuz The Show Must Go On but we never know what they're going through so I hope it's fun behind the scenes for these dogs.

[@heyalicia2551]

Dogs don't fake emotions like humans do. These breeds (Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, etc.) thrive on this kind of training and engagement. My Aussie would be in heaven if I were willing to spend this kind of time and training with him. As it is, he's my coach...always coaxing me into playing some interactive game. Its what the herding breeds live for.

[@piratessalyx7871]

This made me just cry so beautiful our loving doggies are!!!!!

[@maryjacks7923]

Deserves a standing ovation!

[@crazytimes9989]

How in hell did you do that? That is amazing. A phenomenal job.

[@anitahaviland3036]

Incredible! What a long routine he knows! What beautiful work they do together! She is a very, very good dog trainer! Love it!

[@scottfuller5194]

Yet another exceptional performance by both the young lady and her dance partner.......that is a brilliant, highly intelligent border collie, a credit to its fine Scots breed......one of Scotland's many gifts to the canine world....!

[@shanniworld8310]

So true.

[@donquixote1502]

World class ❤ Congratulations from Sweden.

[@scar3xcr0]

Skipple: "Ah yes the doggie biscuit ceremony I know it well!"

[@marie-christinemontegu9503]

Les Chiens sont doués d’une intelligence et d’une sensibilité supérieures. Je suis toujours émerveillée devant cette Réalité. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@helenhoward4082]

😍 This is just 🐾PAWESOME🐾 🐕😍

[@rogerc.roberts4705]

That dog should be making commercials in exchange for $$$ I watched a second time to see how she was giving commands as the dog's timing fit the music perfectly. I could not see the commands. As I stated above, this dog should be making commercials for $$$. I would watch.

[@tiktak3559]

This performance is so beautiful ! Amazing music and amazing routine ! Well done Lucy and Skiffle

[@virginiaconnor8350]

Love the dog and the dance! I hope Michael Flatley is jealous he didn't include this marvelous Border Collie (my favourite breed)!

[@judydennison7477]

Perfection

[@stan4now]

I thought I heard Sniffles. Skiffels sounds better.

[@lysdave67]

Beautiful pair. The dog knows his master!

[@GreenGrl2023]

How wonderful and heartwarming to see the trust that exists between the two of them. This is the love and joy that pets bring into our lives. 💞🐾

[@denicesanders4586]

I have an Alaskan Malamute. The two best friends he ever had were BC's. They taught him,as a pup, how to herd and nip at the heels. Beautiful, intelligent dogs

[@virginiaconnor8350]

Only my Gem used to nip me to get up so she could herd me. She was 1/2 BC. Blue Heelers and Corgi's are more likely to nip. My other Border Collies didn't need to nip me. They used their eyes or nudged me where they wanted me to go. BC's that do nip heels are those that tend to herd cattle rather than sheep as the farmer/ vet I got my Tess Siobhan from in '92.

[@denicesanders4586]

Dakota, my Malamute, would make a poor bull. He would definitely be offended to be compared to a cow. Was funny though, as he grew larger, how the BCs didn't like being herded back. Miss those clever little charmers.

[@caitgannon8044]

Virginia Connor Andrés should abooooandre

[@Shandchem]

Beautiful team and a collie who was so proud and happy to work with his Mum! Beautiful fun performance!

[@pascalemayne9518]

Mon dieu tout le travail qu il y a derrière cette prestation...des champions tous les 2👏👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐😭😭

[@patconnell7055]

Wonderful show. A Collie. One of the most beatiful, dogs, I have ever seen.

[@briandaaranda9735]

I used to do Irish dancing and this was always one of my favorite songs to dance to. Lucy and Skiffle did a great job!

[@tigerbunny6778]

This just made me cry. Beautiful!

[@julieb3996]

That is a very inspiring and creative way to show off training a dog great at reading physical cues.

[@m.a.2361]

Look at what dogs these can do. People need to watch, these completions, to realize just how wonderful animals are, and what they can accomplish. We have a tendency not to realize how high they can abstract, consequently not understand how much they can relate to humans.

[@carolpierce3291]

These dogs are great, but there will never be another dog like skidboot. That dog was fantabulous!!!

[@rozchristopherson648]

What a bond between those two !!! 😍👍

[@alexandria62753]

Oh Wow! This cute Dog is mindblowing indeed!!!!!what a dream Team!!!!

[@edwarddeitch8886]

I deluded myself into thinking i was a good dog trainer but this woman makes me look like nothing. WONDERFUL WORK!

[@sarahprice659]

We often have the classical music station on at my house, and the Birthday Waltz from Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty is often played. Whenever I was in the house near my dog I would scoop her up and “waltz” with her for the duration of the song. She loved it! Even though she wasn’t a big kisser, I was guaranteed a kiss for that.😊

[@flxnhrd]

Bravo...I was half way expecting Michael Flatley to come bounding from the wings....LOL!

[@virginiaconnor8350]

Who needs Michael when you've got this beautiful.BC here?

[@virginiaconnor8350]

Had this been on ON A, it would've been interrupted by a long pledge break and by the time they finished their whine and beg, you would've missed this beautiful dance.

[@belistic10]

having a 10 month old border collie who can do some tricks (but not to this extent), I can appreciate the immense amount of time that would have gone into training all of these commands. My absolute favourite were the ones early on at 1.59 onwards where Skiffle moves around her in time to the music, and does it in reverse at times. So clever!

[@rozlin313]

Absolutely amazing training and dog.

[@spark_6710]

What a gorgeous dog !

[@sandramorey2529]

That was wonderful. I like it almost as much as 4 Morris Dancers with bells around their ankles doing Lord of the dance.

[@candacecarlini3479]

AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL.

[@aashasenglishforall5221]

Two divine souls. Mother and child. God bless.🙏🙏🙏🥰🌹

[@norafox4789]

Making LIFE,just wonderful!!

[@anitagold124]

Pure joy to watch

[@emoorish1]

Absolutely brilliant how clever & well trained loved it well done both of you x

[@user-ie5ui7sy2p]

こんにちは､ドッグダンス初めて見ました。本当に素敵ですね、ワンちゃんの方からも、ダンスを楽しんで居るんだと言う気持ちが伝わって来て素敵でした

[@brigittedavies6864]

Adorable routine! I loved watching every minut of the show!

[@joeyswanepoel1984]

STUNNING!!!!!!!!

[@suewatkins9610]

Absolutely stunning. The two of them deserve the win and it would take a great deal for any other dog to steal the win from the Lord Of The Dance. He is the best.

[@fly89]

and i almost cried when my dog gave me his paw when i said shake a paw 😂😂😋😂😂

[@barbarakempf761]

Amazing dog outstanding act BRAVO

[@pialoriegapl]

She's in love with dancing and her human

[@thatsnotme3235]

Lucy and her adorable and BRILLIANT Skiffle are my favourite

[@hamstersniffer]

Oh my, THANK you for a much needed smile!

[@rachelsilver8189]

This makes me smile!

[@katherinekirkhope7804]

So much happiness. This is a favourite song of mine. And so much good boi❤

[@valerieselau7384]

Absolutely magnificent to watch .. very pleased! 😊

[@dominiqueroy9512]

What an amazing routine

[@eckehareckbert2731]

She really has amazing brain and talent. God bless to u both.

[@crosshillbb]

FANTASTIC!

[@scozaki4025]

I often see recommended stuff in my feed and think, how did that get in there? Then I see Crufts and click and all is right with the world. 🐶 🐕

[@JH-lz4dh]

That was the best thing ever 😭

[@MsJimmysgirl]

The training of this dog is absolutely amazing. The only thing I was able to train my Australian Sheppard Bandit along with standard commands was how to what we called prance ( walking on his hind legs).

[@tylerk8888]

Now that’s what I call talented

[@gigicats6]

Outstanding! A very classy act!

[@crufts]

Lucy and Skiffle always put on an amazing performance!

[@jankrugel866]

FANTASTIC !!! one million thumb ups for you !

[@blokewithsuperpowers857]

[@samisticdesigns3902]

[@marypowersforever]

[@dianesim8793]

[@sue8237]

Just amazing!

[@Tipperary757]

Amazing dog and trainer. Bravo!

[@annwilliams6438]

I usually cannot stand this type of thing with owners in ridiculous costumes and dogs doing the same two tricks for twenty minutes.... but this was fantastic! Thank you. It looks like Crufts is really becoming a dog lover’s event. Well done.

[@kathymachen8342]

Such love and trust...simply beautiful!!!

[@samcodymoon1]

BEAUTIFUL
