It's the only reason I watch. That and the border collies, but I grew up with a retired shepherd as a next-door-neighbour, so border collies have a special place in my heart 🤗
8:42 As that dog walked out, I saw it's head and said it has grey hound in it. Well, then it took off running as fast as it could in a great circle and there was no doubt. Love the rescues. They brighten the day to watch.
This is the epitome of the idea that it's not about winning, it's about taking part. Such a shame too many people don't understand that sports are games and games should be enjoyed, and there's nothing wrong with being applauded for taking part.
I do love that with the dog that just did a few laps around the arena, the handler still had the dog go over 1 jump before leaving. You always want to end training on a positive! That was 1 good jump! Good job!
Same. All my pets: cats, dogs, bunnies etc, not a single "pedigree" amongst them, but all the most splendidly good boys and girls, and I wouldn't ever have it any other way.
I do agility with my rescue dog. She has so much fun doing it. She gets to power through it. I even think she might be one day able to complete with the breed dogs!
@@deefee701 "Breed dogs" tend to be raised from a very young age to compete in agility/preferred competition. Their genetics, nourishment, basic train all are taken care to give them best advantage to since they little puppies. Yumi456's dog was rescued and so has started from a more disadvantaged position. It's like comparing athletes who have train from childhood to qualify for competitions. There are people who may qualify even after starting their training in adulthood, but it is a bit harder to achive. But I do remember, that a dog which was first shown in rescue agility showcase and a year or so later later in the proper ability competition, so it is possible.
my rescue competes normally and I never had problems, honestly I never really thought about this? I see these differences between rescues and other dogs mostly in america... in my country all dogs are treated the same and rescues don't get any special treatments, they are as good as any other dog. Other dogs might have been selected and raised to do agility, but it's not all about running. I do appreciate that Crufts organised a easy course for rescue dogs, but I'm sure that there are many other rescues and mutts that compete within the normal categories even tho they don't specify that they are rescues
@@AnamFatima You can also train a mutt and give him the best nutrition if you have the possibility. The point is that breed dogs are selected to compete which means that in their family tree they are all masters in the discipline they compete for (and they are also healthier and cleared from health issues). I got my mutt at 5 months old, at 6 months old he was already in the ring. He is medically cleared and I try to give him a nice diet, he also gets supplements to protect the joins and has no problem competing with other dogs. My trainer has a mutt and two days ago she competed in the world championship IMCA and PAWC. It's more funny and interesting owning a mutt, it's a challenge because you don't know anything about their history
@@stpacificotm4653 I always thought that you couldn't start the jumps training till the dog was 18 - 24 months old. So you could start training the basics as long as you don't let your dog jump, has that changed now?
OMG!!! I love Betty the toy poodle 🐩😍💕💞💖 she had me laughing like a hyena the whole time 😂🤣😂🤣 I really hope to see Betty my favourite toy poodle again at next year crufts 🙏🤞 god bless it's little cotton socks and soul 😍😇😍😇
@@kadinolmc9967 I think that's still probably about the same amount as in the UK :) that's awesome! I would love to see videos of Ugandan dogs doing agilty (I love all dog agility videos)
I love to watch these ability competitions (I guess I'm here again, lol), but extra kudos to these trainers who take on rescued dogs from who-knows-what backgrounds, some not so nice ones. Love them all.
I enjoy that it is emphasized that agility is truly about the dogs having fun and just doing what they love and that’s it not about winning, it’s just dogs having the grandiosity of their lives. I also love agility courses so much, I wish more people could have to opportunity to discover this. Side note: in nintendogs the agility courses that you could do for your dogs were also my favorite, so fun to do, even if it’s a game lol.
I'm so happy to see its possible to do this with the handler in a wheel chair. I've just started watching agility competitions, and am hoping to adopt a dog eventually. I'd love to do this a little but running just a few steps gives me migraines. It seems like it would be ok to walk a dog through the course.
Can we have an event once a year where one at a time dogs come out and are allowed to just play and be funny and cute and we can all just watch and laugh and put these videos up on TH-cam for more constant like this?
Westminster 2021 had a pomeranian in it's 8-inch agility competition. It's on TH-cam if you want to see a dust bunny run a agility course. The pom's name is Woody Wolf, if your search Woody Wolf agility it should come up
Except that you don't know what kind of situation it came from, it's possible that the dog still has nightmares every night, nobody but the owner knows that. So we can hope for a great new.
That's a weird thought. My dog spent her first year chained up in a backyard. Does that mean cause it only happened the first year of her life and she ended up in a super loving home that she's not a rescue? My dog has nightmares often and wakes up terrified over two years later. She's a rescue who still remembers..
i watched this twice, because i found the dogs to be hilarious even though not real good at the tasks. but then i started to watch the trainers. I'm not such those dogs were'nt doing EXACTLY what they were taught to do. they followed arm movements and voice commands to a T.
There are a lot of causes for rising obesity in the world. 1. The rising cost of fresh and healthy produce means most of the food available tends to have preservatives and others chemicals used to lengthen the shelf life. 2. Long work hours (including transit from home to work and vice versa) plus doing basic home care (extended if you have pets or family) leaves little time for proper excersize. And saying it from experience, doing an hour here and there won't help. 3. As a result of the above two point, plus other environmental conditions, diseases which may cause weight gain or mess with metabolism are on the rise.
Rescue agility is the most fun of all the shows!

Perhaps they weren’t perfect, but watching them do what they love always makes things like this great to watch. And better yet, they’re all rescues!❤️
This is my favorite part of the whole dog show! :-)
A happy pup is, by definition, a perfect pup. 🤗
Looked pretty perfect to me. : )
A truer word was never spoken!

"a dog will do what a dog will do"
And sometimes a dog will do doo doo. Precious doggies!
The dogs were great and so were the owners. So nice seeing owners who truly love their pets. It shows.
I do agility with my rescue dog. She has so much fun doing it. She gets to power through it. I even think she might be one day able to complete with the breed dogs!
Can you explain why your dog isn't allowed to compete with breed dogs? Is it a height restriction?

I am a dog handler from Uganda here in East Africa I love the show
Do people do dog agility in Uganda?
@@MazHem not really like 1% of dogs do agility

What breeds do you think are most popular in Uganda? I'm Canadian and you see lots of retrievers and retriever mixes
I love these guys. So much joy. Our last several dogs have been rescues, though my current girl was a rehome. I couldn’t go any other way.

True! 😁😁
I hope and pray all these dogs got good homes and they are all perfect to me
Love your dog . See how important and giving us happiness.
Nice show! The fact that they're rescues is icing on the cake!
Best Agility Video Ever
The toy poodle looks just like cookie who passed away in 2019 and brings me warm feeling in my heart ❤️
i love watching the rescues on crufts

It’s funny when someone working with dogs live in Barkshire!
Gosh I love dogs! I have 3 and it’s not enough. I want them all.
Go the Huntaways, have a Huntaway cross, beautiful, smart, gentle dog. Rescue of course. Love these videos.
Splendid! Bravo!
Wow, never thought a Pomeranian would do that well!
Westminster 2021 had a pomeranian in it's 8-inch agility competition. It's on TH-cam if you want to see a dust bunny run a agility course. The pom's name is Woody Wolf, if your search Woody Wolf agility it should come up
Thank you! Just watched it, and all I could think of was this:
Woody Wolf: *I am speed*
Love it ❤
That was very entertaining and amusing I want a border collie corgi cross like the adorable and cute Lollipop now!!🐕🐶
I'm the privileged caretaker of a rescued podenco.
this is exactly how she would tackle this course.
Bravo! 🥰
Anubis was my favorite
Amazing job to all the dogs and handlers
I would give like 10 million up votes!!
Fergus was VERY interested in that treat...rofl
It’s great to watch the dogs having a blast, but a dog that was homed at 18 months and is now over 5 has been living a good life for most of her life.
Except that you don't know what kind of situation it came from, it's possible that the dog still has nightmares every night, nobody but the owner knows that. So we can hope for a great new.

Моего там Фили не 0хватает он у меня был шустрый. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾👍🤔
How sweet 🌺💖.
Missed Olly. But very funny😍
It was good but I didn’t laugh once. Why? Because blue cross didn’t bother.
@@danielledewitt1 They're probably too busy rehoming all the dogs that have been given up now that everybody's going back to work after Covid.
@@sheilaboston7051 They were busy rehoming dogs before covid too.
Ah! Someone else that remembers Olly and his show-stopping performance... 😍
To this day I can see him flying over that A-frame in my minds eye! 😅😅😅
15:27 что это? 🤣🤣🤣Боже мой! Это щенок?
Where is Olley?
Yes, i miss him to
Blue cross couldn’t be bothered this year.
@@danielledewitt1 They're probably too busy rehoming all the dogs that have been given up now that everybody's going back to work after Covid.
For me, Olly is/will always be the perfect example of a crazy happy dog despite a rotten start to life.
Rescue dogs are best in the world
This was still good this year but it wasn’t the same because of the blue cross’s failure to go.
I wonder if that little cockapoo (?) -- Neva? Neve? will compete one day ... she's really good. I remember her from the previous time, too
I’m guessing name is Irish so Niamh, pronounced “Neve”
I just want to see them all go again!
@@susanollington5257 I know, I love watching them :)
Yay!
10:53 что комментатор сказала?,, молодец,,? 🤔
Are you having rescue dog agility again this year?
YES YES YES
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
where is this competition in which city?
Crufts is the world's oldest (and largest) dog show in England. Started by the Kennel Club in 1891, it is held yearly at the NEC in Birmingham 🐕🦮🐕🦺🇬🇧
i watched this twice, because i found the dogs to be hilarious even though not real good at the tasks. but then i started to watch the trainers. I'm not such those dogs were'nt doing EXACTLY what they were taught to do. they followed arm movements and voice commands to a T.

Привет лохматым. 🐾🐾🐾🌠🌠🌠🌠🐾🌠🐾💖
👍👍👍👍💕
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖
🙂❤️
Why they don’t keep time ? Is this just a demonstration?
Why should they when it’s not a competition?
Why should they when it’s not a competition?
It's a demo, yes. Just making some time to highlight rescues and show that any dog can do agility, not just the showdogs
It's also a bit of a break to have fun, since they're not exactly perfectly skilled 😄
@@Annalovesautumn Yes indeed well said. Olly will always be my favourite.
Что с собаками? В 2020 году были идеальные, а это что?🤣🤣
I know right haha 🤣. it's probably because they are all beginner rescue dogs, it looks like they are having so much fun haha
@@mikomiyamoto3413 понятно
. Спасибо за ответ.
why are most of the dog handlers overweight

1. The rising cost of fresh and healthy produce means most of the food available tends to have preservatives and others chemicals used to lengthen the shelf life.
