A Dog's Show

A Dog's Show [1] was a New Zealand television series featuring sheepdog trials, presented by John Gordon. For many years it screened on TV ONE on Sundays at 6pm (before the evening news). It was broadcast between 1977 and 1992. Reruns were screened on TVNZ 6 (at 11:00pm) while that station was broadcasting. The show was replaced in 1993 by Tux Wonder Dogs (which screened until 1999, and again 2004-2005).[2]

Theme Music

The theme music was an instrumental version of the Statler Brothers song Flowers on the Wall.[1] Of note, this soundtrack was also used in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.

In popular culture
