Judy Stoodley sent this along. TOO COOL! Check out the video!! 
 "My beautiful redhead, Fiesta, having earned her WAC less than two weeks before, traveled with me to Rhode Island this weekend to compete in canine musical freestyle at the World Canine Freestyle Organization's 6th Annual International competition. We were competing at the Beginner level to the Fats Domino song, "I'm Walkin'." We also did a Beginner's Pairs routine with my daughter and her French Bulldog to "Meet in the Middle." I'm thrilled to say that both routines earned legs, although she was getting a bit of a glazed look and didn't do as well in the pairs routine. (My daughter also qualified in HER singles routine, so it was great fun all around.) We placed first in Beginner A and also earned the award for Best Teamwork by a Beginner Team. We also, by default since we were the only "A" pairs routine, earned first in that category as well.  Animal Planet was there filming all weekend for a two-hour special that will be airing on Dec. 13. I don't know how much Fiesta will be featured. They were particularly in love with my daughter and the Frenchie, (Who wouldn't be, LOL?) with the Landseer Newfoundlands, and a couple of other dogs. But it would be wonderful for the breed if Fiesta got a passing nod...."
