The Pup Cup Gallery

This is definitely not your ordinary talent contest."Border collies do it with a herd—vote for Kylie!" reads one sign held by a contestant's companion. A dreadlock-wigged entourage, save for one member in a blonde wig, accompanies a natural-blonde contestant who originates from the small island of Culebra off Puerto Rico. And a third competitor, about the same size as the tiny trophy

Folks vie for the best spot to watch.

A human and a showdog demonstrate what the freestyle can be.

Tyler’s lobster is a keeper because it’s as big as he is.

Sadie, a.k.a. “Slim Sadie,” had her own theme music.

Zeke’s human tosses a lobster buoy…

…which he skillfully retrieves…

…but he needs a bit of her help to get his belly back onto the dock.

Soldado “walks” on water in her freestyle by bounding gracefully from trap to trap both from and to her human’s dinghy.

The aptly named Truffles Brandy Godiva Hurley, a chocolate lab, is a favorite with the “puparazzi” and knows how to play to the crowd.

The judges give scores from one to ten (in paws, of course).

Tiny Tyler’s human has to lift him out of the boat for the dinghy-hopping trial.

Kylie demonstrated her excellent seafood skills by spotting the lobsters her human tosses and then catchin’ and cookin’ them in a pot.

True to her heritage, border collie Kylie tries to herd Soldado and her humans when Soldado wins the coveted Pup Cup.

It’s okay, though; as the saying goes, blondes have more fun.
