Episode 2

Three more promising pups compete for the Scotland’s Best Dog title, with Bernese mountain dog Brannigan, Luna the miniature Jack Russell and Staffordshire terrier Tonka all showcasing their canine credentials.

The three dogs are set three unique challenges which test recall, agility and bond, and are important for dog owners to master in order to create a healthy, happy relationship with their pets.

First up is Bernese mountain dog Brannigan, an eight-year-old, adventure-seeking pooch who loves nothing better than exploring the great outdoors with his owner, Charlotte, with the pair regularly taking part in hiking, paddle boarding and canicrossing.

Next up is Luna, a one-year-old miniature Jack Russell with a larger-than-life personality. Luna is also a career dog, and often accompanies owner Cassie to her job at a charity that supports adults with learning difficulties.

Finally, it’s Tonka, a blue Staffordshire bull terrier from Lockerbie. Along with owner, Yvonne, Tonka’s favourite thing to do is flyball, an action-packed dog sport where teams race over hurdles to catch and return a ball.

Brannigan, Luna and Tonka are put through their paces at the Scotland’s Best Dog arena in the hope they will win the heat and secure a place in the grand final.
