Casey the collie loves to dance

Casey the 18-month-old beardie border collie cross loves to dance. She also loves to dress up and appear in front of a large audience. Casey’s natural love for the limelight stood her in good stead at the weekend when she and her owner, Rosemary Brierly, won the maiden freestyle event at the National Dog Training Assembly (NDTA) in Christchurch.

In heel work to music, dogs perform a number of moves with music.There are two types of events in the category, one which is standard heel work where the dog is working close to the owner, undertaking moves such as turns and weaves in and out of its owner’s legs. The other one is freestyle where the dog is more than a metre and a half away from the owner and it undertakes tricks such as standing on its back legs, turning around, walking backwards, turning and backing up through its owner’s legs, weaving in and out of its owner’s legs, rolling over, jumping over the owner, and running around the outside of the show ring carrying props such as flags.
