SuperDogs lap up the love, 50 years after being unleashed on adoring fans
The anniversary shows feature three daily performances, with hundreds of dogs racing, leaping and dancing for fair crowds before the tour moves on.
- Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the SuperDogs show continues hosting daily performances at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver and the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, featuring dogs of various breeds.
- Former teacher and entertainer Herb Williams founded the show at the PNE in August 1976, initially recruiting a small group of dogs to perform tricks for fairgoers in a parking lot.
- Trainer Lisa Sun, who has worked with the show for 15 years, performs with pugs Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, while the production honored 20 dogs in its inaugural 'Paws of Fame' class.
- Writer and host David Acer described the shows as 'pure joy from beginning to end' following a performance on Thursday, noting the entertainment offers audiences a welcome distraction from climate pressures.
- With both major fairs closing on Monday, the canine performers will continue touring at upcoming fall events in British Columbia and Ontario, including shows in Burns Lake and Newmarket.
