A prize pooch who’s taken the world by storm with his performing talents is predicted to steal the show when he performs in the UK for the first time this weekend, seen here in the West Midlands on March 9.

Award-winning Daiquiri already has 12 Guinness World Records to his name and has wowed judges including Simon Cowell on America’s Got Talent with his signature skills.

The blue mearle Belgian Shepherd has now been invited to take part in the prestigious Crufts international dog show, leaving the competition running scared.

He is confident in sniffing out a new title after spending 36 hours travelling 7,000 miles from Alberta, Canada to Birmingham, UK, with his owner Jennifer Fraser.

Jennifer, 42, said: “I have faith in him 100 per cent. I know he will be fantastic.

“They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but I can teach Daiquiri things in minutes because of everything he’s already achieved.

“It doesn’t matter what the judges say. As long as we get through it, we have gone to Crufts and competed and he will have done the best he can.”

Daiquiri has spent years mastering agility and obedience and has achieved international titles in Italy, the United States and Canada, including the most tricks in 60 seconds.

His signature trick involves him jumping through a series of hoops, which magically get smaller each time.

Born in Chicago, USA, Daiquiri was adopted by mum-of-four Jennifer, who has eight other dogs, in 2015.

She said: “I was looking for a Belgian shepherd and my breeder got in touch and said she had a boy that was looking for a home who had been passed from pillar to post.

“He wasn’t a puppy and I was worried that he would have had no base training.

“But she sent videos and then I saw this one picture, he didn’t even look pretty but it just swung it.

“He was on a plane to me the very next day, and from the second he arrived he was just perfect.”

His talents came to light when the family moved to Italy in 2019 and Jennifer began trick training with him.

Jennifer said: “I couldn’t really afford to go to museums but I sent my kids and I paid for them to go and check it out, and I would just wait outside with my dogs.

“While I was waiting, I would play with our dogs and get them to do tricks, which people passing by started to notice.

“I happened to have all of my kids’ backpacks and their hats and everything… Just kind of taking care of them while they were in the museum. Somebody came along and they put five Euros in the hat.

“I decided to put together a trick routine we could perform for money.

“In less than three weeks, I was making 200 or 300 Euros an hour just on the streets playing with my dog.

“They paid for our rent, they paid for our groceries, they paid for a cruise – it was great, just having fun all day running around playing with me in the piazzas.”

Since then, six-year-old Daiquiri has won dozens of competitions and starred in the Canadian Super Dogs musical.

When they appear at Crufts on Saturday, he and Jennifer will perform in their first freestyle competition, when they hope to wow judges.

The pair have had just two months to perfect the routine, which was choreographed by Jennifer to Dolly Parton’s Crackerjack.

“Now is the time when it is winding down to the event, and I’m getting butterflies every time I look at the calendar, I can’t believe we are doing this,” she said.

“It really is a lifetime dream come true. I have been watching Crufts since I was a three-year-old girl sitting on my grandmother’s knee so I almost feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.

“Our routine is going to be different and I hope that the judges will think that is a good thing, we will have to see if it impresses them.

“As long as we are together and working as a team we are doing well.”

Crufts is renowned for being the most famous dog show in the world, held annually in the UK.

Several competitions take place at one time over the four-day event, before the main contest for the Best In Show award, which is hotly contested by dogs and their owners.

To reward Daiquiri for his hard work, he will be rewarded with his favourite Bratwurst sausages.

And Jennifer admits he gets special treatment over her other dogs due to the bond they have formed - which often makes her husband Les jealous.

She added: “The way Daiquiri looks at me is like an old boyfriend that never quite expressed his undying love, who has now been reincarnated as a dog.

“When he looks at me my husband walks in and says ‘I can’t compete with that level of devotion’.
