Three cheers for Teddy!!! I do Freestyle with my Great Dane, Honey, so I know just how hard it is to motivate these giant breeds - especially in something like Freestyle. A lot of people with "normal" dogs just don't understand the patience & dedication required to train these placid big guys and how challenging it is compared to dogs who have more drive. And to make it to Crufts is a great honour! Keep up the great work (and don't listen to all the nasty comments - we get them too!)
Many thanks for your supportive comments. It really is hard to motivate these giants. Sometimes, for no explicable reason they just wont work, but when they do it is a joy. Teddy is 9 years old now and gradually retiring, and another generation of my dogs are stepping out. Anyhow, so good to hear from you and about your lovely Great Dane.
Thanks for the comment. Always keen to hear other opinions. Tried to open the yahoo group: Newfoundlands, but entry is blocked. Any comments there about dancing? Best regards.
Great video! I have two Newfies, a 2 year old male and a 6 month old female, and I understand the time that you have invested in obedience training. What a great job both you and Teddy have done. Thanks for sharing.

Doggy dancing should only be done in the privacy of ones own home, in my opinion,
