High-energy stunt dog show by The Canine Stars, a team of rescue dogs that appeared on America's Got Talent, with free shows during the Arizona State Fair.
The Canine Stars are performing at the Arizona State Fair in Phoenix through November 1, part of the fair's run from Thursday, October 1 through Sunday, November 1. They're a stunt dog show that's been touring since 2012, and the act is built around high-energy stunts, freestyle disc, and dock diving. It's a family-friendly production, and they keep an educational thread running through the show, too.
The cast is almost entirely made up of rescue dogs, and that's a big part of what they do: they promote pet adoption alongside the stunts. Their biggest stage moment came on Season 16 of America's Got Talent, when they performed live at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Simon Cowell called the act "Genius!" and Howie Mandel called it "the best animal act I have ever seen on this show, by far."
Beyond the fair circuit, these dogs have played NFL halftime shows, NASCAR races, and Formula 1 events. They've appeared at the Calgary Stampede and on Nickelodeon Unleashed, the World Dog Awards, Stupid Pet Tricks, and American Ninja Warrior. To keep them in peak athletic condition for that kind of work, they're fed a raw diet.
