Border Collies and Belgian Malinois are often the featured dance partners at canine freestyle competitions. So we love it when we see other breeds taking centre stage. Unkas is a Papillon from Russia who performs with his handler Irina Efremova.
During the FCI Dog Dance World Championship held in Moscow in 2016 they competed in the freestyle final, where only the ten best participants were competing.
