The Greatest American Dog - Presley??

[WAT]

I was saddened by the results too. I really like Bill and Star. The judges had a tough choice to make. I think all the dogs did great last night, especially with the elephant. But I kept thinking what if one of the dogs go after the elephant, this could get ugly.
I loved when Presley took that leap of faith, the way he was wiggling and his ears flapping! Even DH was laughing! You have to give Andrew props for last night too, what a brave little guy he is! I love when his Mom goes "Wheee" to him. Cracks me up!

Yah!!! I thought Presley did awesome.

I didn't really like the part where they had the elephant. I thought it was kinda weird to make your dog stay when a 9000 pound animal was coming toward them. I was scared, especially for Andrew, that the elephant would pick him up and eat him. I know it was trained, but any wild animal can "go off". I did like the other competition though. Except the one where they had to make their dogs jump off, that was kinda weird too. Why would you want to train your dog to jump from somewhere high? What if they go and jump off somewhere now?? I don't know. I just love seeing cute, cute Presley.

I agree, but i am still proud of them all, that was a pretty scary the second time that Prestly and Andrew had to sit together with the elephant RUNNING toward them :eek:. I was very sad :( to see Bill and Star go, they were my other favorite.

the 1st part of the show I was so proud of lil Andrew... I thought he did wonderfully, If I was that small and had that huge thing coming at me, i'd tuck my tail and run for the hills, but he did great... I was amazed that Presley's puppiness kept him in the circle the 1st part... he did good until he lifted his hiney... but still great... and to see him leap off that platform, my gosh... GOOD BOY Presley *in my best baby voice*

I'm so saddened to see Bill and STAR go... he's so down to earth and seems to be the sweetest in the whole wide world... him and his 'orange' dog... I really really wanted to see him see his orange dog 'FLY'... but that's okay Star...

I hope Galaxy is gonna be fine...

Way to go Presley! I was so proud of him last night. The judges piss me off always insulting Travis and Presley. They tend to always be very critical of him. I almost get the impression they are not wild about boxers.

Also how in the world is a boxer suppose to keep is butt on the ground in a perfect sit when a 9000lb elephant is coming toward it.

I hope Galaxy will be okay. I feel so bad for the girl.

I agree! I think that the judges pick on Travis and Presley!

I loved it when he jumped and they way his legs were waving around on the zip line. So Cute!

I wasn't too fond of the challenges last night or the judges comments about Presley. But leave it to a Boxer to "bean" on the way down on the zip line after he jumped. I disagree with the judge, I thought Travis had total control of Presley at all times. I don't think they like or understand Boxer's.

I agree with you. I think getting him excited is what made him so willing to jump for the zip line. Either they are nitpicking him because they have no real criticism for them or they don't understand boxers.

My kids cracked up when they called Presley as being one of the bottom three and they showed Presley wine. I thought the zip line was a dumb idea, I wouldn't want my dog thinking they can jump off something like that. Of course the boxer would just go for it, my kids loved that part too.

i think the judges tend to forget Presley's age (and breed)!
i have a 14month old, and no way he would behave that well!!!!

Travis is doing awesome!
Boxer are hyper type and likes praises that way.

It made me mad when they told JD that it was awesome that he made it a game for Galaxy.. "hello!!" Travis did the same thing..
Of course Galaxy is going to stay calm, she's 8 and she's not a boxer...

I am very ticked off because i really feel like the judges don't like Travis so they pick on him all the time.
That girl Teresa with Leroy should have been gone after the photo shoot! they never say anything to her.

I'd rather see a happy boxer than a mad barking collie! (plus she loses her temper all the time with her dog...)

Everything everyone said is so true.
I just laughed so hard when Presley jumped on the zip line. I had to rewind it several times. He just wiggled and beaned his way down.

Also, with the elephant, I though he was awsome. Even if he lifted his butt at the final stage. I don't think I could have sat still with an elephant running straight at me.

I do feel bad that Bill and Star had to go. I think Bill is an awesome man with such a good heart. And Star, bless that old girl. What a beautiful and smart girl she is.

I don't agree with the challenges they put on the show. Like everyone else has mentioned, to ask your dog to jump like that is crazy. If they do it once and don't get hurt, they could try it again thinking it is no big deal.

All in all, you have to love love love Presley. What a cute face. For only being 1 1/2 yrs old, he is doing so awesome. Now if only the judges could wise up and realize that.

I was so sad to see Bill and his "Orange Dog" go. Wasn't it beautiful to see the close bond between them??

That little Andrew!! He is so sweet to watch, and I get so tickled when I see him and his owner together - just cracks me up.

Nothing but pure Boxer - that Presley!! Who else but a boxer would put on such a show flying down a zip line?? Why fly straight when you can wiggy?? I just absolutely love him!!

The challenges were supposed to show courage, but I think they really showed how well the dogs listen to their people - and the trust they have in them. I know I would have a very hard time sitting still with a huge elephant running towards me. Not only would my hind-end come up, so would my feet - really fast in the opposite direction of the huge beast!!!

Wiggy butt get well wishes for Galaxy from Yogi and Bax.
