Dingwall Crufts contestants have gone viral in a TikTok video posted by Channel 4.
The effort by Emma Ross and her four–year–old working cocker spaniel, Sprite has gone viral with over 65,000 likes and over a million views.
The video shows the Crufts contestants racing around the track in the agility competition, where Sprite is clearly having the time of his life.
Emma was over the moon to qualify for Crufts after the dynamic duo's win at the Kennel Club International Agility Festival semi–finals last August.
Unfortunately, Sprite and Emma were disqualified in the Crufts agility competition, for taking the wrong course – but as the commentator states in the video, Sprite 'really doesn't care at all'.
It's clear that Sprite simply loves agility and racing around the track, regardless of winning. His passion for agility captured the hearts of many people on TikTok, leading the video to viral.
Sprite and Emma also came fourth in the jumping round, with a time of 27.588 seconds, and the winner of that round was only 0.322 of a second faster than Sprite.
Emma said: "I feel if he hadn't knocked the pole, he definitely would have been second or even first in the jumping round. I'm super proud of him though, and after Channel 4 posted his video on all their socials he's gone viral!"
"My dream has always been to compete at Crufts since I was a little girl, I just never thought someone from the Highlands could achieve this. I've been training since I was seven years old, and started up my own training business a few years ago – I have been living my dream life ever since."
But the hard work doesn't stop for Emma and Sprite, as they are now straight back to training for the World Agility Open, where they will do their best to take it home for Scotland.
The Dingwall dream team will certainly be one to watch for the future.
