As a reality show fan, I have waited in great anticipation for The Greatest
American Dog to premier.

After 15 minutes, I kept hoping it would get better. After a half hour, I
wondered, with all the dog talent out there, I swear the talent scouts sat at
the local Krispy Creme waiting for the first candidate walking down the
street with their dog hoping to recruit them instead of getting out there and
searching for real talent.

The only dog that I saw of merit was a skateboarding bulldog, which WAS
pretty cute!

Can we vote them all off and start over?

Come on! With all the talent out there, They can do better than that!

I must admit I missed it, but when I heard about it in an
advertisement I was hoping for a show full of Tucks.

It *is* a reality show. I'm sure that their primary objective is
"entertainment", and towards that end, they probably did what they do on
every one of these - put together a bunch of people (and dogs, I suppose)
that are least likely to get along with each other.

I haven't watched the show. But, I'm disappointed in Teresa. She was
Khan's obedience instructor, and was very, very helpful when we were
struggling to get him over his various phobias.

I'm certain many others were likewise disappointed, for many of the same
reasons you were disappointed.

You should hear what firefighters say about programs and movies
involving firefighting scenes. They tear those scenes to shreds. LOL

The general public, and I'm not much better, has little idea of what
truly awesome things dogs can do; so, any little trick makes the viewer
go gah-gah. To further illustrate my point, my black Chow Chow, Tang,
blows the minds of many who meet him. Why? Simply because he is
unexpectedly friendly. LOL If I were to teach him some common tricks, we
could probably make a living, performing at the mall entrance. :-)

I was dissappointed because the skill levels of these dogs were as if they
went to the local dog park and said, I'll take YOU, YOu, you, and YOU.
Except there must have been some criteria, because these dogs came from
across the country.


They were hardly the best America has to offer.
World Wide Fido net is also launching a competition for dogs on TV (I think
it's on cable, it's certainly not on something i get)

And the level of competition there will be ramped up 100 fold.

Tuck won a competition at Worldwide Fido net, but seeing the competition
there, I wouldn't embarrass myself by entering a competition for the best
of the best.


I'm sure Worldwidefido.net's competition will be worthy to watch.

I, too, waited in anticipation. What a disaster that show was. It was
totally silly and not worth watching.
