2018 World dog impersonation championships not without controversy. Mini Golf Hire Melbourne.
Supplement scandals, visa issues and allegations of dogs dressed as humans pretending to be dogs are among the many controversial events occurring at this year’s WDICs.
Keith Durrant, whose flawless Doberman ensured his victory in both the vocal and aesthetic categories said it is the craziest he has ever seen the titles and “they get wild enough as it is”.
Durrant says he is not bothered by Welshman Llewellyn Jones’ attempt to pass his Schnauzer off as himself trying to impersonate his Schnauzer. “The stewards did their job and Llewellyn was caught. That’s why we have DNA testing in this sport. The person I feel sorry for in all this is his dog, Ghost. My understanding is that Ghost was against the plan. ”
The Ukrainian team was disqualified for using a banned dog medication. Although it was only a medication to increase dogs’ confidence it is schedule 4 drug, intended only for nervous animals and is therefore a banned substance in the sport.
The scandal setting the most tongues wagging however was the Canadian favourite Michel LaBouche. LaBouche was stopped by customs at Melbourne airport and was sent back to Canada for failing to declare that he had recently been on a farm. The farm in question was the notorious Camp Dion whose questionable training methods came under fire recently during the ‘Spamphetamine’ scandal. La Bouche maintains he was only there for five minutes to drop off a trailer.
2016/17 champion Dermot Risely was unable to compete this year due to a broken hind leg.
