Article: Dog Sports » List of Dog Sports
Dog sports are activities that involve dogs.
There is much discussion about what exactly defines a sport for dogs. Some issues:
- Must a sport be entertaining to watch? Agility, Disc dog, and Dock Jumping are very entertaining to spectators, and often televised.
- If a human companion is not actively involved, is it actually a sport? Take greyhound racing, for example, or hunting from a duck blind, from which the dog retrieves the game.
- Is any activity a sport if a casual observer does not understand the nature of the competition? For example, in a conformation show the handler and dog move around a ring for a judge to evaluate the dog’s appearance and structure; the skill and knowledge required are not obvious to those uninterested in the sport.
This list is intended only to represent anything that anyone is likely to refer to as a dog sport, not to argue its validity as sport. Inclusion in this list should not be viewed as promoting any of these dog sports. The articles are intended only to explain the structure of the competition.
