There were three exercise areas along by the sea, not far from the main tent and over the next few days we'll take a look at more dogs.
You can see a beautiful little black dog and also a a photo of all of them performing on Monte Carlo Daily Photo today.

Ah excellent photo bring me a lot of different reactions .. as adorable as those pups are I am not a fan of circuses or zoos ... animals being trained to perform, I dont know I worry about HOW they are trained... sorry to be such a downer ..
Darryl, I do think dogs like to 'work' ie be trained for something - they like to work to please their owner. In the runs, the dogs were being stared at by loads of people. I imagine, when they are not performing - when not on tour - they have a stable and happy home life with their trainer. I noticed an old dog in the run, indicating they keep their oldies and take them on tour with them.
And wouldn't you say a working dog like this is a lot better than a dog stuck in a refuge or worse. All were in excellent condition. I think this particular circus set-up is excellent. All the animals, tigers, elephants, all looked fabulous, including the dogs. But there will always be an argument against circuses because so many aren't good. This is a good one.
Mixed emotions and thoughts about the circus. But I tend to agree with you. I have seen so many dogs with no chance at all for a life outside of a kennel. Dogs do like to work I have a border collie and she is happiest when she is chasing the frizbie, a ball, or hearding birds on our walks.
