My wife and I both compete in this sport. It may not be of interest to some, but if you love dogs this is a hoot.
This is a bloopers clip from the World Championships last year in Basil, Switzerland. It takes some knowledge of the sport to understand a few of the mistakes, but all you need to know is it is ALWAYS the handlers fault, because the dog goes where it is told. Most of the mistakes are due to the handler making a mistake and the dog goes to the wrong obstical, but there are some funny things in it. At the end you see some over zealous celebrating at the finish line that is what we all hope to do some time. No dogs were hurt in this, but I'll bet a few handlers needed some asprins the next day.

And hopefully my Border Collie will be ready to qualify for the USA Team and give me the chance to be on one of these clips.
