This was filmed back in August 2006 during the build up to the annual Look Alike contest at the big Wag & Bone dog show held in Windsor Great Park, England. Crosby, my faithful Dandie Dinmont Terrier and I had recently received the devastating news that we had been officially banned from entering the Look Alike contest because we just look too much like each other! Our banning received massive publicity and the very nice and good humored orgnisers, (who had banned us as a bit of fun), decided to make Crosby and I the celebrity judges for the event instead! So it had a happy ending after all. The standard of entry was exceptionally high and we had the largest entry of Look Alikes ever at the Wag & Bone show, almost any one of them could have been winners, but in the end we had to make the difficult final choices. We put Buzz the Motorbiking Sheltie and his slightly mad owner in Third place because they had such great attitudes. My second place winner and her Afghan were just so much alike they very nearly won the event, but eventually my final decision, and it was tough, went to Hillary Powell and Millie her rascal of a Welsh Terrier! This short was one of several promotional films made to promote the Animal Planet Channel in Europe and was screened right across Europe and North Africa for over a year and gave great exposure to Crosby my Dandie Dinmont Doppelganger! If anything, I think we are growing even more alike as we both get older, take a look at my profile photo …

Pet Owner Look Alike Funny Dog Show – Dandie Dinmont Terrier
Thursday, July 15th, 2010Dandie Dinmont Terrier Puppy Dog Playing Hockey Cute Happy Funny Pedigree
Thursday, June 24th, 2010Dandie Dinmont Terrier: This is Jackson, our very fun loving Dandie Dinmont Terrier puppy dog. This item was filmed when he was about 4 months old. We have given up on buying our pups very expensive toys as they seem happier with old plastic bottles and a tatty rubber chicken. His mother Scarlett loves to play with the rubber chicken (please see one of my other videos posted on YouTube) but Jackson takes it one stage further. He likes to play hockey with it, using the rubber chicken as a tool to hit his other toys around the floor. The first time I saw him hit one of his toys like this I thought it was a fluke, but he just keeps on doing it and it is his favorite game to play. I have never seen another dog play quite like this and I think Jackson will grow up to be a wonderfully eccentric companion and a lot of fun to have about the house. Dandies are I believe one of the only dog breeds with a genuine sense of humor! The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is one of the UK’s rarest breeds. They are officially designated by the UK Kennel Club as a “Vulnerable Native Breed” due to their very low numbers.
