Scotland’s Best Dog is on a quest to find the most cherished canine characters who have heartwarming bonds with their owners. These dogs are more than just pets, they are the life and soul of their families. Along with their proud owners, three pooches will be tested on a number of challenges before a panel of judges including dog-lover Kaye Adams, animal behaviourist River McDonald and SSPCA veteran Alan Grant. Scotland’s Best Dog celebrates the unique bond between some special dogs and the people who love them. Each week, the three judges will individually score the owner-and-dog pairings across three key challenges - recall, bond and agility skills - with the overall heat winner earning a place in the grand final. This week’s proud pet owners and their hopeful hounds are Jo and Miller, Shiny and Picco, and Kaylee and Poppet. These family pets aren’t professional show dogs, and the challenges they will face have been designed to showcase a happy, healthy relationship with our furry friends.
