Channel 4 enters The Dog Show

UK broadcaster Channel 4 has ordered a 15-episode competition series in which dogs and their owners tackle physical challenges.

The Dog Show (WT) is being created by Tuesday’s Child, the prodco former Shine TV joint managing director Karen Smith (pictured) launched earlier this year.

Tasks will include a “spectacular Dogstacle course” and the winning partnership will get to appear at the Crufts dog show, which Channel 4 and its sister net More4 already broadcast.

The 15x30mins series was ordered by Channel 4’s commissioning editor, daytime and off peak Sagina Shabaya. Smith will executive produce with Will Spokes.
