Many fantastic routines as always, especially the winner--but my very favorite is the one done to the song "My Number One!" Wow! That dog had boundless energy, and it was such a true DANCE with the dog!! Very graceful, perfectly in sync with the music. That one was extremely impressive.
Lucy couldn't have made a better decision than to immigrate to Japan, or anywhere really. That way both, her and Irena, get to attend with their dogs. Amazing.
Why do they allow them to compete in more than one competition within the same year? It's a lot of exercise and work for the dogs. One competition is enough to train for each year? Some of them are older dogs, too. And I might as well not even think any other performances should win as Lucy seems to always win LOL She is good but I do think on some of the competitions some of them are better. Sorry Lucy! But I never do a dislike because I do like all of the performances.
A lot of exercise and work? Come on that is what a border collie is made to do! Also Lucka Plevova and Jump deserved to win every time, they did the best performances ever, and Jump made everything look super easy!
I have to say, your title to this vid is interesting. I don't think it should be "heel work" at all. The earliest "freestyle canine dancing" had more to do with the music, and an actual dance. Rhythm mattered. It was a lot more interesting, a lot more challenging for the dog, and more fun to watch. What is passing recently for freestyle doesn't require the skill or the connection with music. It's a sport that in my view has disintegrated. It's a shame. Anyone wondering what I mean, look at this: ruclips.net/video/e01RFf9Tr5w/видео.html This was a duo that was one of the ones who established the sport and the original standards.
I have to say, I do enjoy the routines that are energetic and matched to the music a lot more than the "storytelling" ones (even though they are cute). I agree, it does seem a lot more challenging for the dogs and handlers both.
I just discovered the existence of dog dancing today. I'm curious, is it a coincidence that there's only female competitors? Are there separate leagues, or is it that mostly ladies want to dog dance?

+Mallory Pike Lucka Plevova Her name is pronounced Luska..Her dog is called Jump :)
Oh yeah, I thought I heard him saying "Lucy" or something. L: And could the dog be more aptly named? Haha!
I loved the performer in orange from Japan with the Border Collie, - ***so outstanding***!!!
The competition was so tough this year!
Japan? Eating dogs? And a czech woman at that?
Frida Nyberg Japanese never eat dogs, they don't have stray dogs in japan except if there's calamity happened
Oui , elle avait une vitesse d’interprétation de son exhibition supérieure aux autres, elle dansait avec beaucoup de légèreté 💫💥💫💘💫💥💫
Lucie Plevova is my favourite at these competitions! SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!

I found the Winnie the Poo boring.

Ah beh ! Ma se hanno il Border Collie, hanno gia vinto !.
