In December 2010, Nova and I auditioned for a spot in the SUPERDOGS show to be held at the National Western Stock Show in January. We found out the end of December that we had earned a spot for the shows in Denver. I believe that Nova is the first Standard Schnauzer to be casted for SUPERDOGS!

SUPERDOGS is a production out of Canada whose moto is "The Most Fun on Four Legs"! Their web site goes on to state: "For the past four decades, the SUPERDOGS Show has thrilled over 35 million dog lovers in one of North America's premiere live events. Only the SUPERDOGS Show stars 'man's best friend' in a stunning performance that enthralls audiences of all ages."

Nova and I had a   B L A S T   doing the show on Monday and Tuesday. Monday was a sold out crowd (even the obstructed seats sold) for a total of 4,777 people in attendance. Tuesday didn't fill but I would guess there was still about 4,000 in attendance. It was, however, a VERY exhausting experience with practice on Sunday until midnight (that was after running agility for 2 days). . .getting to the show 2 hours early each day for team meetings and then staying after to allow the public time to "Meet and Greet" the SUPERDOGS. Nova did fantastic with all the lights, loud music, ecstatic crowds, and crazy herding dogs running around. He was a great ambassador for the breed in the "Meet and Greets" - even when being mauled by the kids.

We hope you enjoy our pictures and short video clips of the show.
