"Obstacles - but what do they matter - in a race?" The dogs perform an obstacle race. They run towards the camera jumping over little fences. M/S of the audience, middle aged women. They are possibly the judges. "A fast and funny foursome -" Various shots of dogs performing in different races. A small spaniel is persuaded to do a water jump.
