Two Carlow dogs make it to the final of a Petmania personality competition
Six different categories, Thrill-seeker, Jester, Foodie, Explorer, Chaser and Buddy
Having pin-pointed six main dog personalities, Petmania have teamed up with Purina Beta to find Real Dogs Ambassadors who embody each different personality.
The specialist pet retailer has announced the finalists for their nationwide Real Dogs pet personality competition, with two of these being from County Carlow.
This one of a kind initiative focused on bright personalities. The Real Dogs campaign has seen pet parents analyse and understand their dogs’ personalities.
The competition is unique as it has emphasised the wonderful personalities’ dogs have, instead of the usual aesthetic and cuteness focused competitions.
There were six different categories, the Thrill-seeker, the Jester, the Foodie, the Explorer, the Chaser and the Buddy.
Marley is the second Carlow finalist, he is a Pug crossed with a Jack Russell.
Marley has a personality that lights up the room and can do many tricks upon command. But most importantly he would do anything for a treat or food making him the perfect candidate for the Foodie Real Dogs Ambassador.
Expert dog behaviourist Suzi Walsh applauds the Real Dogs campaign, and said: "I think Petmania's Real Dogs competition is a great way of understand your dog more and appreciate that each dog has their own individual personality.
"It allows dog owners to realise how well they know their best friend."
