Online Video Competition

 

On this page, you can watch all videos of our online video competition. The competition is now finished and you cannot vote for your favorite routine anymore. However, the videos will stay on this page until December 15th, 2006. Our visitors have chosen the winners:

Class 2: Josiane Simonpieri & Vinci,

Class 3: Katharina & Dixie.

Congratulations to the 4 dancers!

On this online video competition, there were no rules for evaluating the routines. People were asked to simply vote for the routine they had liked best. However, if you would like to know how the routines are evaluated on a real competition, you can find the new DogDancing rules for Continental Europe HERE (Claudia Moser's web site). These rules have been applied since May, 2006, in Germany and in Switzerland.

Fun Class: 8 routines
On real competitions there are no grades and no places in the Fun class. Each team is verbally evaluated by the judges. Since our visitors are the judges on this video competition, you will have a chance to write your comments on each of the routines of the Fun class in the guest book below. Please write only positive remarks or constructive critics. Offending entries will be deleted by me. And one more little thing: please write only comments regarding the routines in the Fun class in this guest book. General comments on the online video competition can be written in the second guest book available at the bottom of this page. Thank you!

Fun class' guest book

Video 1: Gabi Wagner & Cessi (Germany)

 Cessy is 5 years old and, although we have been dancing for the last 2 years and although my Cessi is already very good ( in my oppinion), she has fun when I use treats. That‘s why we are taking part in the fun class. Our Song: Always look on the bright side of life ( by Monty Python shortenned to about 1.30‘ )
Video 2: Andréa Conrad & Timber (Germany) Timber is Paco‘s new little brother. He is now 7 months old and was 5.5 months when we filmed this video. He is a mix of Berneese and Labrador and he has been living with us since he was 8 weeks old.Paco and Timber like each other very much and they play hours on end togehter each day, but Paco gets very jealous, when I try to train anything with Timber. But we are working on it.
Since Timber is a very quiet and balanced dog, I guess I won‘t have the „barking problem“ with him, which I have with Paco. Up until now, he has never uttered a sound during training. He is going to have his first performance before an audience on September 24th and I‘m really curious to see how he is going to behave.
Video 3: Jitka Peierová & Dancer (Tschek Republic) I‘ve already startet training with Dancer. He is just at the beginning of his „carreer“. However, he „dances“ full of enthusiasm and performs some of the elements very well (for example: retrieving things, walking at heel). On his first show he behaved very selfassured and had a lot of success. Dancer was 6 months old, when this video was filmed.
Video 4: Manfred Liebig & Cayenne (Germany) My name is Manfred Liebig, 44 years old. My dog: Dalmata, bich, 4 years old, she is called „Cayenne von der Burg Baldeck“. Our song is by Cool and the Gang and is called „Fresh“.
At the beginning, when I came to live with my new family, I was really crazy and didn‘t want to obey. However, this had nothing to do with my being death on one ear. My papa did not want to accept that, because he had already had a Dalmi that obeyed him very well. But one has to be able to start from the beginning again and my papa ended up understanding it, too. It was so boring at home and then I decided to change the order of the furniture in our appartment and I couldn‘t behave at all. My papa and my mama didn‘t find it funny and so we went to a dog school in Dusslingen (Germany, Tübingen). We tried out the puppy group, the young dogs group, Fitility, and suddenly I wasn‘t bored anymore, for my papa did lots of things with me. SoSome little tricks, too. Then I went to the „Team Test“ and I was very good. One week later, I was to take the companion dog test, but on this day I was not at my best. It rained a lot and I didn‘t want or just cound‘t obey my papa. So we tried it again one year later and then we made it, but my papa wasn‘t really satisfied, because he is very ambitious. But perhaps this is also going to pass. I know what I can do, when I want to. Nowadays, I do Agility and DogDance and I love my papa. I go through any situation and I even lay down together with him. 10 months ago, I got a friend, Elisa, also a Dalmi from the same breeder as me. We get along very well and now my dog‘s life is really fulfilled. Well, I think that is all. Let‘s see what will happen next...
Video 5: Marion Bader & Bonnie (Germany) Bonnie is 3.5 years old. Music: Let‘s have a party.
My Bonnie is a very quick and lively dog. She likes all people and dogs. She loves DogDancing. Whenever she finds it to slow or whenever she is not sure, what I want her to do, she just starts barking to tell me: „Come on. Let‘s go.“ or „What do you want me to do?“.
Video 6: Katalin Timár-Geng & Csenkesz-Vuk (Hungary) Owner: Katalin Timár-Geng
Dog: Királytanyai Gubás Csenkesz
Age: 13 months old
Music: Vuk (song of the littel fox)
Video 7: Rosi Lachmann & Caruso (Germany) Owner: Rosi Lachmann
Dog: Caruso
Breed: spanish waterdog mix
Age: 3 years old
Music: „Happy Together“ by „The Turtles“
Caruso is 3 years old and he was found in Spain together with his mother Ebba, where I rescued him from the death station and since them he‘s been living with me. He has very heavy arthrosis on both sides, but now that he has had a golden needle implanted, he is very fit. Even so, I never let him jump or do any such exercises. He learns a bit slower when it comes to DogDancing. But, as soon as he got it, then it works wonderfully ;-) Only, without treats, it doesn‘t work very well yet….
Video 8: Rosi Lachmann & Caruso & Ebba (Germany) Owner: Rosi Lachmann
Dogs: „The Dancing-Duo“ (Ebba and Caruso)
Breed: spanish waterdog and spanish waterdog mix
Age: 6 and 3 years old.
Music: „The Safety Dance“ by „Men without Hats“

Music : "Asile" by "Notre Dame de Paris"

Video 3: Jitka Peierová & Estrello (Tschek Republic) Estrello is a very versatile dog. He has one lots of titles at dog shows (International Champion, German Champion, Tscheck Champion, National Champion, European Champion and about 15 more. He takes part in many performance tests and participates in the highest leagues (III). Also in these tests he has achieved many titles: German Champion, Club Champion, Performance Show Champion, National Champion and he was also many times the best of the day. We also do Agility and Flyball, but without taking part in competitions. And we dance a lot. I‘m always inventing new routines and we do performances at many events. And we also take part in competitions.. For example: 2002—ViceChampion in the Teschck Republic, 2005—4th place—Berlin, 2005—1st place– Prague (Champion of the Tscheck Republic).
Video 4: Rosi Lachmann & Ebba (Germany) Owner: Rosi Lachmann
Dog: Ebba
Breed: Spanish Waterdog
Age: 6 years old
Music: „Black and White“ by „Three Dogs Night“
She was found 3 years ago in Spain together with her puppies (one of them was my Caruso). I rescued her and her two surviving puppies from the death station. Ebba was very shy and looked very badly at the beginning. Nowadays, she is very selfassured and one of the reasons is our DogDancing training. She learns very quickly and loves to work, only sometimes she exagerates. Dogdancing is really nice, because she has so much fun doing it.
Video 5: Ines Wagner & Caillou (Germany) Caillou vom LIbellenteich is 2 years old and we have been having a lot o fun with DogDancing for about a year, but this is the first routine, we have danced. Song by Scissor Sisters "I don't feel like dancing". Have fun with it.
