Oh man, I can't wait! :grinslay: I know Pit Bulls are a very under-represented breed in freestyle (to say the least LOL), but it is sooo cool to watch what these dog-handler teams can do, regardless of breed.

Dancing With Dogs’ Debuts on Animal Planet
The special show introduces viewers to a different kind of dance
competition.
Posted: November 27, 2008, 5 a.m. EST
First there was “Dancing with the Stars.” Now Animal Planet offers us “
Dancing With Dogs.”
The new special, which airs Saturday, Dec. 6, introduces viewers to a
different kind of dance competition, where four legs rule, wacky wardrobes are
encouraged, and incidental bathroom breaks are common.
Based on the real-life sport of _canine musical freestyle_
(http://www.dogchann el.com/dog- activities/ canine-musical- freestyle- abcs.aspx) , “Dancing With
Dogs” features dog-and-owner dance teams that boogie down to rock ‘n’ roll,
hip-hop, classical, and country in hopes of snagging the top title at the
World Canine Freestyle Organization’s International Competition.
The “dancers” include Poodles, Newfoundlands, Golden Retrievers, and
several mutts. This year’s favorites include Vera, a 7-year-old Golden Retriever
and her owner, Cassandra Hartman, and Callaway, an 8-year-old Golden Retriever
and her owner Laurie Sullivan.
Actor and comedian Alec Mapa, who owns dogs named Ozzy and Sweet Pea, will
host the competition. “I’ve been dancing with my dogs for years,” Mapa said
in a statement. “At last, it’s so exciting to know that I’m not alone. There
are others out there dancing with dogs, and it’s time to go public!”
“Dancing With Dogs” premieres Saturday, Dec. 6 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) on Animal
Planet.>>
