Watch this. It really cheered me up. If the KC get a real savaging maybe it'll still make them smile? This dog must have amazing hips...
This coming Tuesday (7th Sept) on BBC Radio 4 there is a half hour programme called "What's the Point of The Kennel Club?" It is on at 9am and repeated later that day at 9.30 pm. The blurb for the programme says:It's been a long time in the making, wonder what their conclusions will be?
"Caught between health regulations and protests about inbreeding, the Kennel Club seems to be all bark and no bite. Are it's days numbered?"

This Shocked the Interviewer Quentin Letts.

I can't believe how he/she managed all that backwards walking on just 2 legs. What a rapport they have.
Bet the dog had back ache at the end though.
Thanks for sharing
As Chapstaff has said, I expect the dog had backache. Goldies are a big, heavy breed. This one was placed in an entirely unnatural position virtually for the whole of 3 minutes. When you condisider the training time taken to get to this point, how many hours as this dog walked on it's hind legs? Now perhaps its not cruel on a massive scale like breeding vast numbers of dogs that can't breathe, but I wonder when this dog reaches middle/old age whether it will be just as disabled? I don't have issues with 'doggy dancing' but it surely cannot be in the dog's best interests to be maintaining such an unnatural and stressful (on lumbar and pelvic regions)position for a prolonged period and promoting it will of course lead to others trying to emulate it with their own dog.
I have followed Beverley and Dogs Today for many years, and am more than mystified as why this clip would cheer anyone up???
It is more circus like than I could ever have imagined either of the above to endorse.
So I agree - not necessarily something to make you smile. I take that back.
