Dog videos: Amazing dog sports

Thursday March 31st, 2011

The skill of dog athletes, and their incredible responsiveness to their human handlers, can be thrilling to watch. We've compiled a few videos that inspired us to head outdoors with our own dogs.

Agility: A fast-paced sport that's as fun for the spectators as it is for the dogs

Disc dog: A dog-human game of Frisbee, on steroids

Musical freestyle: The sport for dogs and owners with rhythm (even Simon Cowell was impressed with this duo!)

Flyball: Seventh heaven for ball-obsessed dogs with energy to burn

Herding competitions: An amazing exhibition of human-canine teamwork

Bassett/Plott hound cross
Has anyone out there seen one. Saw a beautiful one up for adoption locally and was curious to find out what kind of personality he would have. This is a one year old neutered male, beautiful brindle color with short legs. Would like other opinions as to what kind of pet this would make.
