curriechick Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 When I was young and my mum took us to Billy Smart's circus there were all sort of animals performing and one of the acts was a dog act. I think they were poodles and several of them danced and did various tricks. Now all animal circus acts have been banned, surely the reason for this is applicable to all animal acts no matter where? I don't know for sure but I believe is should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimee415 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I don't understand how people can say it will get boring if done again and again....surely having something other than a singer/dancer is much better? And in terms of a dogs mentally Bubble3082, is quite an outdates approach to claim that we need to be "top dog" and all that pack and dominance theory rubbish. Yes this stuff is there between dogs but not between dogs and people. As is proven dogs can surprisingly tell the difference between us and a fellow dog haha the reason they work for you is as they are domestic animals there to please their owners. And its more of a respect than them bowing down to you as your "top dog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ sheffield Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have just skipped through all of the posts and did not notice anyone saying it was crap? Allow me to be the first if not. It was crap. It was pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimee415 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 You don't have a beagle ... or a basset Haha worked on many though, very stubborn dogs, prey drive is crazy and most are very smell focus. Bassets much harder to train than beagles but the top dog theory still can be disproven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, animal acts in Circuses were banned following the Mary Chipperfield incident several years ago, look it up on Wikipedia, I can't recall the exact details.

Sparkler61 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well, I thought Ashleigh and Pudsey were brill, I voted for them and I am glad they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Spyda Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 It was good once (in the auditions). Completely boring after that. Just the same dog completing the same tricks, just in a different order and with different music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 If you look closely, I think that you will notice that Pudsey was miming throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
