I agree Karuuna.

Oh and lets talk about Brandy's crush on Travis and jealous over his time with the brunette (Preston's owner) mmmhmmmm

I think Tillman was on our local news recently as a surfing dog (or whatever they call riding those flat boards against the surf). I'll see if I can find it.

Brandy's voice really bothered me tonight. I hope she only sounds like that when she gets excited. I felt bad when she said "Why did everybody leave me?" She looks just like Tanya Harding to me.

Karuuna, I hope they weren't really WHITE labs! That is definitely not a proper lab color (they can be cream to fox red, but white shouldn't be registered, same for sealpoint, black and tan, etc.)

I missed the first half of the show, but did think Tillman should have gone home, not Elvis. Or maybe the woman who tried to throw Elvis under the bus.

I just love all the dogs! It's the owners I have a time with. LOL I also was sad to see Elvis go home. I really liked that little guy. He was fiesty and was playing nice at the end. I think he did better than Tillman and David certainly didn't cheat to make his performance better (i.e. make a bigger hole in the paper).

On the previous show, I loved the "food you can't eat" competition. I agree with Costacat that I loved Tillman's face in the steak. I really thought he was going to woof it down.

And I'm glad Elan & Kenji got the boot. She got on my nerves. Every time she corrected Kenji, it sounded like a cat coughing up a hairball, ack,ack,ack,ack.......

Sea, they called them "white" in the ads, but in person they weren't truly white. More like a very very pale cream.

We ended up with a black lab puppy from a friend. The 'white' lab puppies we saw were all huge at 8 weeks, about 20 pounds. Our 8 week black lab puppy is more like 12.5 pounds. I'll post pics later!

quote:... David put a lot of time/effort into trying to teach Elvis to do his task. I don't get it.

The judges did not like the fact "Elvis" almost hung himself when he slipped off the Teeter-Totter. During the practice run “Elvis” was perfect.

Yeah, Trini, I get that, and it was disconcerting - but the dog didn't choke or gag, so it couldn't have been mortifying, just a mistake on David's part. And David was trying, and learning. And both he and Elvis were benefitting from the experience, IMO.

I do wonder if they were more influenced by Laurie's comments that Elvis had bitten some other dogs, and that's the real reason Elvis went bye-bye.

Karuuna,
I am disappointed too. I was beginning to like him, Elvis is more obedient than the little
"french over dressed one" in my book.

Maybe it was the fact that Elvis was the only dog on a leash. I really thought Tillman should have been gone.

I am at the point where I don't want any of them to leave. Sort of getting to know them and like them. Well, perhaps the "french over dressed one" could go.

KARUUNA, yay for new puppy!!!!!

By the way, Elvis has the cutest puppy pics at Dogster.com.

Rosie, he's sleeping at my feet at the moment. He's such a cutie!

I think the dogs should stay and their humans should go! :-)

This show is feeling a bit flat. I really doubt it could come back for a second season.

I love seeing the dogs (since I have a couple of my own), but really, it's a little dull.

I really like the dogs and agree that they need to jazz up the show if they want to have more people than die-hard dog lovers watch.

This is the only reality show my daughter, granddaughter and I watch. We each have different tastes in reality shows, but this one is for all of us. We aren't even dog lovers. We are major cat fans. They have four and I usually have two, but am down to one at the moment.

And yes we do know the dog's names but not the humans. The humans aren't as cute or as smart as the dogs.

Kar, black is the basic lab!! By far, my favorite.

And huge too young doesn't bode well for soundness either.

I really really like this show. It's the first time in a long time there's been a show that I really can't wait to see every week.

I think I pretty much know all their names. Their bios are all on dogster.com, as well as
CBS.

Whoever does editing on this show deserves a reward. The camera catches so many cute dog expressions. The way the editor times the dog expressions with statements from the owners is priceless. Karuuna, congratulations on a new puppy.
