A High Stakes Obstacle Course, for Dogs
The dogs in the event, which has typically been dominated by Border collies, are grouped by height rather than breed, creating a more chaotic vibe than the rehearsed perfection of the regular dog show.

The HBO series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms may be set in the same fantasy world as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, but it’s a small, grounded story – a kind of medieval buddy comedy. It follows a sweet but dim knight (Peter Claffey) and his wise-beyond-his-years young squire (Dexter Sol Ansell) trying to make their way in a tough world. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on a series of novellas by George R.R. Martin.

Jeff Faine
Luxurious Farmhome Up For Sale
… Listed For $3.9 Million!!!
Published
Former NFL player Jeff Faine just listed his Florida pad for $3.9 million … offering up a rare mix of luxury and country living in the Sunshine State!!
TMZ Sports has learned the 10-year NFL vet put the estate on the market this week with Marlene DeCespedes of Douglas Elliman … and it’s a stunning farmhouse built with a modern design.
The 5,772 square-foot property is located in Gotha, about 11 miles west of Orlando. The architecture is amazing … with vaulted ceilings, custom wood beams and marble interior.
It also features five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and a gigantic kitchen with a wine cooler and Thermador 30″ double ovens.
There’s also a private gym, a game room with a bar and a huge office that stores all of Faine’s NFL memorabilia.
The fenced backyard is just as dope — a resort-like pool and jacuzzi, private golf putting and a BBQ area perfect for outdoor cookouts and NFL Sunday.
We’re told the Faine family loves this house … but since their young boys are wake surfers, they’re buying a home with lake access.
It’s now up for grabs for $3,995,000 … a steal!!
Faine launched his NFL career as a center in 2003, going 21st overall in the draft. He suited up for the Browns, Saints, Buccaneers, and Bengals on the field.
