Three more promising pups compete for the Scotland’s Best Dog title, with a black goldendoodle, a Pomeranian and a working cocker spaniel all showcasing their canine credentials.

One-year-old black goldendoodle Angus is much loved by his owner, Tony, from Glasgow. After the loss of his mother in 2020, Tony found emotional support in Angus, who he considers his surrogate child. Angus and Tony love going to the beach together, with frisbee-throwing proving to be a particular favourite activity. As well as companionship, Tony credits Angus for helping him finally pass his driving test, allowing them to explore more places together.

Next up is Bear the Pomeranian, who lives in Dumfries and Galloway with owner, Meagh, and her partner Lee. Meagh’s childhood dreams of owning a Pomeranian came true two years ago when Lee surprised her with puppy Bear. So much more than a family pet, Bear is a brilliant big brother to Meagh's baby, Luna, and is always around to settle her if she gets upset.

The final contestant is Poppy, a working cocker spaniel from Aberdeen. Poppy made quite a splash on her owner, Olympic swimmer Hannah Miley, who spent lockdown training her pup to do perfect tricks. While recovering from a shoulder injury, Hannah focused her attentions on finding creative ways to train Poppy, even learning to pack a swim bag for her when the pools reopened. Show less
