Looks like another of those smarter-than-you dogs, whatsits shepherd, beat the little flutter-guy. Nothing to be ashamed of for a three year-old, though.
These trials make my day whenever I come across them. All the dogs are awesome.
I’ve been a terrier man most of my life, and I gotta say that little beast impressed me. As smart as terriers are (and they are damn smart), they also got a ‘tude.
Every terrier worthy of the name would look at this and mutter in a brogue under its breath something like, “What fresh Hell does the human have in mind this time?,” and would promptly sit down and growl at the handler and call the Papillon a tool, and probably slur the French. Everyone hates the French.
Well, I can say to your terrier – “good doggo”. I believe that is the breed (sort of) that Pratchett used as a template for his talking dog. I think Gaspode was introduced in Moving Pictures and went on to defeat a tiny terror with super-canine powers.
Also, from what I’ve seen terriers are one of the breeds that take to a vegetarian diet with relative ease. It does take a bit of cheese from time to time, such as the parmesan sprinkled on an otherwise boring dish.
Is that one of those butterfly dogs? Good job, little dude!
