Three more promising pups compete for the Scotland鈥檚 Best Dog title, with Labrador Darcey, deerhound/staffie/bulldog mix Nodens and Australian labradoodle Ro all showcasing their canine credentials.

Fox-red labrador retriever Darcey lives in Tayport with her owner, Larissa. According to Larissa, Darcey is a well-trained, obedient dog with a mischievous side. Darcey is the perfect active companion for Larissa and loves nothing more than paddleboarding with her owner.

Hailing from Inverness, Nodens is a deerhound/staffie/American bulldog mix whose name was inspired by the mythical dinosaur writings of HP Lovecraft, and owner Emilie is known locally for walking her while wearing a giant dinosaur costume.

The last pet to take to the Scotland鈥檚 Best Dog arena is Ro, a five-year-old Australian labradoodle from Edinburgh. Owner Sarah is a former vet who set up a charity that provides canine therapy, and Ro has made over 1,000 visits with Sarah to those in need.

The three dogs and their owners are tested on three key challenges before judges Kaye Adams, River McDonald and Alan Grant. The winning dog will progress to the grand final and a chance to compete for the coveted Golden Bone trophy.
