As Crufts 2015 opens its doors today with parades of perfectly pampered pooches, another dog competition is launching nationwide, and anyone can get involved. Yes, that’s right, the hunt is on across the UK for the final canine contestant to take part in PiCKUP’s Dogs that Demand Respect/Ninja Apprentice Championships. PiCKUP biscuits contain chocolate so sacred they have to be protected by their very own Ninja Chihuahua, who is now searching high and low for the right dog to help with this crucial task.
Competition for the ninja apprenticeship is fierce as research reveals that three quarters of all dog owners claim that their dog has special skills, and 66% of Londoners believe that their canine is more intuitive than their human partner! Does your dog have the right stuff to protect PiCKUP’s crisp and chocolaty biscuits and defend them with ninja honour?

Has Britain gone to the dogs?
Recent research conducted for PiCKUP revealed some decidedly doggone facts about Brits and their love of dogs (and disdain for other humans). Check it out:
• 70% of British adults, and 76% of Scottish adults, would trust a fictional dog over a current political leader;
• Of the ‘most trustworthy’ candidates, 35% chose Lassie, 35% chose Gromit, 14% chose David Cameron, 7% chose Ed Miliband, 6% chose Nigel Farage and 3% chose Nick Clegg;
• 73% of dog owners believe their dogs do have ‘special skills’;
• 66% of Londoners think their dog is more intuitive than their partner.
The research was carried out online by TNS via the CAWIOmnibus “OnLine Bus” between 10 – 12 February 2015 amongst a panel resulting in 1000 adults GB Adults aged 16-64. All research conducted adheres to the MRS Codes of Conduct (2010) in the UK and ICC/ESOMAR World Research Guidelines.
Ninja Biscuits?
By the way, have you tried PiCKUP’s new Black ‘N’ White biscuits? I’ll let you guess what other brand of cookies these treats most resemble (but are much tastier than). Personally, I think they’re delish (though I might still prefer the Classic milk chocolate PiCKUP in all honesty. Find them at Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and independent shops across the UK.
