How to liven up a bored Bulldog: scrotum tickling

[Jack Flash]

The reality of life in the upper echelons of showing pedigree dogs can be more bizarre than anyone could ever imagine.

A video taken at Crufts last weekend proves the point, but it needs a little explaining. A prize-winning Bulldog, according to the Kennel Club breed standard, ought to “convey an impression of determination, strength and activity”. The problem is: how to make a bored Bulldog look like this?



The handlers in the show ring seem to have found a method, which as the video shows, has become almost universally popular: hold the dog’s head steady by grasping his collar with your left hand, and with your right hand, gently tickle the base of his scrotum. This action with the right hand is guaranteed to make any dog stand still, while adopting an understandably “questioning” facial expression. Apparently this can boost his prize-winning chances.

Of course, there may be an alternative explanation for the strange behavior of the dog handlers, and if so, could someone please let me know?

I knew it worked for men, but I've never tried it, or wanted to, on a dog.

What worries me is ... how did they find out?
