| I couldn't agree with your post more. You say it "way better" then I could.

| I am confused-was this americas greatest dog or greatest owner??? it seems you based your decision on your like or dislike of the owner of the dog-what you saw as JDs arragance-we saw as confidence-his dog galaxy was VERY well trained-she didn't seem robotic to me-altho if your dog isn't trained one that was might appear so in your book, my border collie is always keyed in on me and the more well trained she becomes the more she exhibits that trait-completely focused. I was astonished that presly who blew the challenge on show 9 was allowed to stay-it made all of us believe this was a pre determined outcome-and to boot Galaxy for not being bathed 1 a month was the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. bathing just for the sake of bathing is strictly for the human --not the dog--if there is a next season-we american dog owners would like to decide with our votes who stays and who goes.

I do see what you are saying but i however do not feel they base it on the owner they do to a point though. this is because if someone were say mean or made thier dog fear them the dog may not be being loyal or doing things out of love though the dog would have more potential to win with another owner. On the owners attitude,personality, ect. you can see what a strong relationship the dog has with them and how loyal the dog is to them and weather the team is deserving or not. For example galaxy may have had more of a chance with nicer owner though galaxy deserved to win JD did not though travis and Presley both showed what it meant to be Greatest American dog and why they deserve to win. I feel Travis and Presley even though they did not do great with the challenge on show 9 presley showed us he is loyal to travis listening to him and going back to his place where travis told him to go. Win or lose the challanges it was just a way of seeing the personality and bond between the owners and dogs. i feel Travis and presley(though more so Bill and Star) really showed what it was to be greatest american dog. And i do not think the decided it was Jd's time to go just because he doesn't bath his dog often. I will say The way JD acted when he was voted off was terrible he was acting as though no one eles deserves to win and he is better then everybody after that i was sure it was his time to go. And holding Galxey up putting all the wieght on her fromt legs which she hurt a week earlier is careless even if she seemed better. Anway in my opion though Galaxy was a good dog I did not like JD's i'm better then all of you and only one who derserves to win attitude(just my opinon)

I would like to say that I was not impressed with some of the challenges that the dogs had to go through. Yes, obedience is a big thing, however I felt that the way that some of these challenges were set up were very confusing to the dogs. The elephant issue has already been brought up here, but really, an elephant! I think that the obedience part of the show has to be rethought, if you are going to do another season. Also, where does most Photogenic come in? Some of those dogs had great pictures, others were not so great. Is it really fair to eliminate a dog and owner based on a photograph? Some owners are not as creative as others, as for not being creative, using inhumane means to get a dog to have a certain "look" for their photo should be means for immediate elimination. I felt bad that the Bulldog got eliminated and the woman who used that growl band on her dog did not. She lacked total creativitey. It showed because she did not even give half of an effort before resorting to the growl band that she put over her dogs snout to draw the dogs lips up to look like an angry snarl. Her dog was already confused and showing signs of insecurety. If I remember right, her dog had nipped her before because it was getting so distrought. Sure, the guy with the Bulldog thought he had it easy, and did, having to portray "lazy", as that seemed to fit his particular dogs personality. He still should have remained even though his pic may not have been that great. Atleast his dog was happy and went through no trauma during his photo shoot.

Both me and Simba watched the finally, and i actually sorta, kinda knew that Presley would win.Haven't you noticed that the shows mark, with the dog jumping through the hoop with the letters, "Americas Greatest Dog" Was in the shape of a boxer? So i sorta infered thAT THEY WOULD WIN WHAT DO YOU KNOW, THEY DO! I have telepathic connections with the T.V. >:]
