At the Dog Show

Transcript (Download)

You You You You You You You You You You You Let us to join the throngs at the dog show For countless centuries in fact ever since the caveman fought with the saber -toothed tiger Man has cultivated the dog for mutual protection and has bred him up from wolf stock into an endless variety of tail waggers That's the dog show lures us all not forgetting the youngsters who would find their childhood Cheated without some kind of a dog for a companion and a pet man's best friend and theirs Can't that hound find a place to exhibit himself Who doesn't admire the sagacious and efficient police dog so valiant so obedient so powerful But what's this a Mexican chihuahua? What are you doing with a lot of police dogs? Ah, senior I am in the Secret Service Oh That hound again a bird dog out of light somewhere who are you looking for? Calling dr.

Oh, I don't even know the man beat it.

Go on get out I thought that this was a dog show they look like something that's looking for Mary But they're really Bedlington's and no relation whatever to a lamb Like trees in the forest their bark identifies them as dogs pure and simple.

Well, anyway, not as land.

Oh, yeah Breeds of dogs sometimes come to look like people they live with here's a comical fellow.

What kind are you? They call me Jojo the boy face dog Teaching a dog to be companionable or developing his natural combativeness is a simple matter Natural tendencies are but conserved and fixed into habits training which runs counter to the dog's instincts is more difficult It's as easy to make these dogs polite as to make these ferocious fellows attacked on the word of command But it's not so easy to train a dog against his natural fear of fire and smoke and rush to the rescue where every instinct is against it The rescue imperiled lives is the st.

Bernard's noblest work He is the champion lifesaver of the Alps with his peg of brandy on his collar.

Well, hey, where is your brandy big boy? Oh Well, I must be slipping In this department I'm told there's a pair of Siamese twin cats You suppose they're really joined together as they seem to be No, it's done with mirrors Oh Dear that mournful hound is loose again.

I wish you'd roll over and play dead Why gotta find dr.

Jones you gotta get out of here or you'll sure need a doctor I'm not mistaken.

This little champion is a member of the ancient family of terriers and care Am I right? They let down your hair and give us the lowdown.

What are you? I'm an entomologist Well, but an entomologist hunts insects he gathers them by the thousands Do I collect insects brother? Now the judges call the spaniel entrance to line up for another going over On it may depend the awards of ribbons cups and cash which mean nothing to a dog I guess that's why only the owners are nervous Perhaps one of the most placid of dogs is this Scotch terrier He hasn't thought of as a hunter yet few dogs possess a keener sense of smell None is more fearless than as a Scotty on the trail of his prey Right Lonnie.

I never give up a set With dogs as with men a mixing of breed is sometimes a good thing Now here's a good illustration of hybridism Perfection look at the prizes.

He's one Part chow and part bulldog.

He's worth a thousand dollars.

They say I'd like to know which part is bull the part about the thousand -dollars Well, if he didn't look like somebody's pet I'd have you seen dr.

Jones No, I haven't seen dr.

Jones Healing is important the owners know it but do the dogs know it well probably not It's their master's approval which means more to them than all the ribbons and all the cups their good manners may win Two more champions a wolfhound and a pointer the latter is a splendid hunter his rigid body pointing straight to the hidden game Won't you point for the ladies and gentlemen like a nice dog? No, no not that way that's a social error haven't you ever heard of Emily post post did you say post? Post where Dr.

Jones Oh, doc I'm dr.

What's the trouble? Hiya doc.

How do you like the show? You
