Deutschland sucht den Superhund

We found it. It took one month of searching the channels of German television but we found the perfect show. It is called Top Dog and it is amazing. It is the perfect blend of things we love. One, dogs. Lots of dogs and cute ones that do tricks. Two, it is a reality show. It's no Project Runway but it will do. And three, German language. Don't let the title fool you, this show is all in German and nothing but German.
Tonight's episode, from the best I could tell, was the first round/selection show. The dogs came in to show off some tricks and the panel of judges selected which ones would move on to the next round. There were a lot of 'behind the scenes' segments with each contestant's human offering the story of each pooch's training regimen for the competition. Another segment included a how to step by step on the dyeing of poodle hair. Pink and yellow. Those are the colors that I can now dye in.
I like this show because as a reality show, it does not seeem as trashy. Maybe this is because I only understand 15-20% of what they are saying. To me, it is actually a cross between a documentary and a language lesson through the cutest medium in the world - fat little dogs.
The one part that bothers me though, we missed the auditions this season. Mark my words, the Jenks will be taking home that dog shaped trophy in Season 2.
