Jun 4, 2008 - Zed2010,Kate and Gin, I have seen this duo in this video many times live both here and in the usa they are very good, sorry to tell you they are unable to do stage shows or live Tv these are only ring and show Dogs what Kate and Gin done with their performance on Britain got Talent has not been seen in the dog world to perfect in such a small space on live stage and tv such a performance is not only difficult but almost impossible i have trained dogs for over thirty years kate & gin Top Class

Jun 10, 2008 - Kate and gin were awesome, close work with a dog looks skilful, can be dull, but what kate and gin managed on that small stage, with cameras and loud audience was simply brilliant with most of gins performance at a distance from kate..far more entertaining.

LornaCole Says:

Jun 24, 2008 - It's not a question about wheter Kate & Gin are good or not; just keeo in mind that Kate is sixteen and is NOT a professional dog trainer, but a student. Obviously Carolyn and Rookie are better together and Rookie is better trained, but how many years has Carolyn devoted to that? I don't know if you've ever trained a dog for ANYTHING, but trust me, it is hard, even with a great dog, so don't try to put down Kate and Gin's success, both as contestants and as owner and dog. They're great.

Jul 24, 2008 - Carolyn, I have a mobility dog "service dog Ike" who has been with me for about 8 years now, and we are so very close. I wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers after the loss of your buddy. Ike has recently been dx with cancer as well. I am having a great deal of difficulty dealing with the magnitude of this realization that the realization that He is not going to be with me for a lot longer. So I can in someways understand your loss. Kathy E. and "IKE"

Sep 19, 2008 - I am so sorry about Rookie! (If thats his name) I have never heard of him till now but I could tell he must have been such an amazing companion. I hope Rookie is doing fantastic where he is now and I hope he will always be with us.

AngelLeah1981 Says:

Oct 16, 2008 - Wow. That was crazy AWESOME!! I can't believe dogs can remember all that stuff especially since it gets more complicated towards the end. This blew my mind. I bet it makes the dogs so proud of themselves especially when it's over and everybody is cheering them on. :) Thanks for doing this for the dogs. :) I think this is a fantastic thing to do for a dog's life....bonding, having fun, and being proud of themselves. Leah and Lucky.

Nov 4, 2008 - I just saw this post as I was getting ready to send videos of this great couple to some fellow dog lovers. I'm so sorry and so sad. Thank goodness for these videos, so we can all still be amazed. I'm writing with tears in my eyes, I'm so shocked and saddened.

Nov 23, 2008 - Who says animals have no emotions, feelings, fun, intelligence, consciousness, thoughts and want to be tortured by mindless brutes for sadism and rotten financial gain. Animals need rights, get animalrights into your constitution. top eating flesh for it is truly the root of all evil long before money and lust. It is the real first mortal sin, murdering animals and eating their flesh gives you a bad karma and is bad for the arteries in your brain resulting in deceases like Parkinsons, Alzheimer.
