Britain has reacted in shock and surprise as Staffordshire Bull Terriers were officially named the country's favourite dog breed

Staffies beat off competition from popular breeds such as the Labrador and the Springer Spaniel to claim the top spot in a nation of dog lovers

A mammoth two-and-a-half hour ITV rundown last night saw the country's 217 recognised dog breeds whittled down to a top 100

Based on a poll of 10,000 people for the Britain's Favourite Dogs show, popular breeds such as the German Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel managed to nab spots in the top 10

However a shock was on the cards when last year's winning breed, the Labrador, came in at third, behind the Cockapoo, a mix of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle

Hosts Ben Fogle and Sara Cox then announced the often-maligned breed of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier as the winner, causing jubilation online from many

Based on a poll of 10,000 people, the nation's 217 recognised breeds were whittled down to the top 100

but did yours make the list? Here are the top 10.While not strictly a breed, the mixed breed category scored highly on last night's list, with more than 400,000 across the UK alone and 150million worldwide

Also known as 'mongrels', 'mutts' or 'cross breeds', mixed breed dogs are the result of intentional breeding between two different types of dog

They are generally considered healthier than pedigree dogs, which can often carry health problems down through the generations

Mixed breeds are down eight places from number two last year.Known for their gorgeous coats and their love of water, Golden Retrievers were originally bred as gun dogs to hunt waterfowl

They were named Retrievers because of their ability to 'retrieve' shot game without damaging their mouths

These pooches are also used as disability dogs for the blind of the disabled.They are up from number 16 last year

Their full name is German Shepherd Dog and they are relatively new as a breed, with their history only dating back to 1899

They are known for their reliability and trainability and are often the breed of choice to use as police and military dogs, as well as helping the disabled

They have a strong sense of smell and has stayed at number eight from last year's list

Border Collies are highly reliable and are often used as herding dogs.Originally from the Scottish borders they are picked as sheepdogs and used in dog trials

They are known for their intelligence and are believed to understand more than 1,000 words

They are down two places from number five last year.Boxers were originally bred from English Bull dogs and the now extinct Bullenbeisser

They are fantastic at jumping and are good at catching prey because of their strong jaw

Small to medium in size, they should never be underestimated with a loud bark and a big bite

They were at number 18 last year.Cocker Spaniels are the original bird dogs.Out in the open air they will chase them at any opportunity and are known for being loyal to anyone who gives them food

There are English and American Cocker Spaniels, which get their names from the Eurasian Woodcock - a bird they like hunting

They have climbed one place up the list from number six last year.Also a member of the Spaniel family, Springers are famed for their strong sense of smell

They are used in the military to sniff out explosives, but can suffer from health problems in later life

There are English and Welsh Spaniels and they are up five places from number nine on last year's list

They were the UK's favourite dog last year, but still hugely popular at number three on the 2019 list

Also known as Labrador Retrievers they are known for their trainability.Often used as guide dogs they can be taught how to do anything - even answering the phone

Their adorable puppies are well-known in the UK for being the face of Andrex toilet roll

A mix of the Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, Cockapoos are small and very friendly.They generally live long lives and were rated Britain's favourite cross breed

These particular pooches are up five places from number seven last year.Despite their mixed reputation, Staffies are officially Britain's favourite dog this year

They are part of the Pit bull family and can be very friendly to human and other dogs but they will fight if challenged

Their aggressive side only comes out if encouraged by their owners.Dogs and their owners up and down the country were transfixed by the show

Hundreds of people took to social media to post adorable pictures of their pets glued to the TV screen to see if they featured on the list

Hosts Sara and Ben visited dogs from across the nation telling incredible - and bizarre stories - two of which were about the winning breed as the top 100 were counted down

The final announcement came after a star-studded show featuring celebrities including Nicola Adams, Harry Redknapp and Gemma Atkinson and their best four-legged friends

Staffie Diesel and owner Jordan featured on the programme, telling viewers how Diesel became a lifesaver

In May 2016, the dog woke his family in the middle of the night by barking.When Jordan went to check out the noise he found the house was on fire

The entire family made it out alive and rescue dog Diesel won the PDSA award for bravery

Jordan said: 'I rescued him, gave him a home and he ended up rescuing us from the fire

It's the wonderful way things work out in life.' The show also featured a doggy DNA test for actress Sue Cleaver's dog George

The mixed breed turned out to be 100 per cent Staffordshire Bull Terrier.The show also revealed how dogs are regular blood donors

The owner of Gordon Setters, Sue, explained how she regularly takes her pets to help save lives

She said: 'All have my dogs have saved up to 140 dogs lives by giving blood on a regular basis

' Sharwood the Gordon Setter saved the life of Sizzle the Daschund who is a hemophiliac

The smaller dog went into cardiac arrest and received his first blood transfusion after he cut the inside of his mouth

Sharwood came to the rescue after a blood transfusion.Ben Fogle even tried out Doga - doggie yoga - with a class fulled of Golden Retrievers

The class is designed for owners to relax with their four legged friends - although one dog was seen mounting its female owner

Nine-year-old Jack Russell Dally also showed ITV how she can ride a horse.Spanky, a miniature horse, patiently rides around their US ranch home with Dally on her back - much to the amazement of their owner who said the dog did it without instruction

Staffies are named British dogs of the year in show hosted by Ben Fogle – a day after he leapt to their defence amid accusations he thought the breed was dangerous The battle for the title of Britain's best dog sparked a row over whether the UK's number one breed is dangerous

TV presenters Ben Fogle and Sara Cox announced the win for the controversial Staffordshire Bull Terrier - known as Staffies - on Britain's Top 100 Dogs Live last night

But earlier in the show, Ben Fogle took a swipe at BBC Five Live's Nihal Arthanayake after a row between the pair over the bull terriers

Mr Fogle took the chance to set the record straight this evening saying he wanted Staffordshire Bull Terriers to be voted the best breed in Britain when asked by co-presenter Sara Cox

She asked: 'You love Staffies don't you?' To which Mr Fogle said: 'Yes'.Adventurer and presenter Mr Fogle was accused by Mr Arthanayake earlier this week of calling Staffies 'dangerous dogs' in a London park, sparking fury on social media

Mr Arthanayake had said Mr Fogle called his dog 'dangerous' in front of his wife and children

But Mr Fogle furiously denied making the comments.In an earlier tweet the presenter, who had threatened to sue the BBC for an 'untrue and libellous statement', said he is now focusing his efforts on the ITV show

He said: 'I've calmed down (I stroked Storm who Is now snuggled in my hotel room bed) Off to sleep for our big dogathon tomorrow

'See you live at 19.30 on.And yes.Staffies will most defiantly be included.'

Why Base of Support is CRUCIAL for Athletic Agility - Duration: 15:23.

hi this is Evan from performance craft and today I'm going to be talking about

the base of support so the base of support is like Universal athletic ready

position we're in this position you're kind of ready to do anything in the

sport like youth whether its lateral movement jumping sprinting forward

turning around to run backwards it's the base of support position so the base of

support position just looks something like this so in this position you kind

of triple flex so your hips are flexed knees are flexed and your ankles are

flexed so in this position I'm ready to spring upwards I'm ready to push off

sideways ready to push the other way ready to get into a position to turn

around and also my hands are in a position to to react to my heads up

looking forward turn this position anything out in front of me

basketball pass coming tennis shots coming towards me I can react to which

direction I'm going to go into so what's happening here my lower my center of

mass has been lowered so again all of this has just put me in an optimal

position to react to a stimulus so this can be implemented in many ways and I'm

going to show you a few different ways you can put this into your training but

it's all relevant to what you're doing whether it's running in a straight line

of your sport or activities involved change of direction whether they involve

jumping a lot hopefully I'll put I'll put enough in this video for you to pick

and choose from and then we can just get better on down so I've got everyone here

that works at performance ground at least on site Amy and basically I'm

gonna be coaching them through this session today of just at least the juggs

so the first one we're going to do guys the toilets their position so toilet

sick what you're going to do pop in your toast up hands nice and tall so if you

follow me to this one and then why put it up and sit down and supersize sit

down so you can see their feet or roughly shoulder-width apart hips are

flexed knees are flexed chest is up eyes are looking forward they're ready to

react to any stimulus right back up again

yeah so this is what we're going for in the first one and that we can progress

this on to something a little bit more difficult what we're going to do is

we're going to do drop around so now you can basically increase gravity so send

it up into a box yeah so ladies I can get you on this one

one after the other and then stick in that language see if we can match it the

same as you did in the toilet stay cool its own this position for like two

seconds two three seconds at the bottom to see

I'll wait to do three of these total

all right now in this one chest up and let's get those eyes looking forward

there you go drop one more time try the same thing

again landing was good

yeah so up again you can say

I ate jumpsuit pants so memo to his dick is going to be in this position owning

that right right right right this is something you can incorporate into junk

so if your sports basketball anything that's going to be quite a bit of

jumping netball stuff like that you can start to introduced in the beginning

ones that was done like the talling sticks and some drop jumps you said you

can you can increase the height of the box so you go from 30 centimetres up to

60 centimetres and then you can start to incorporate some games as long as you

think the techniques there to do that because you know games you can just kind

of make people who stick just trying to get the we're not just

get it right okay so those were exercise you can do relative to jumping now it's

going to be relative to lateral shuffling just quite an important

movement so in terms of lateral shuffling every action has an equal and

opposite reaction so if we go back to this base of support position far to be

going left we've got a push off my right leg and it always keep that base of

support so that's just something you need to keep know so when you see a lot

people lateral shuffle in they often do a lot of heel click so they'll be

picking it up taking along if you're playing tennis

have you played any sports to be honest if things have played changes and you're

something going left to right you get caught in this position here kind of

screwed you can't push off to go back the other way so we have to keep that

base of support Sonic oh gosh here I'm going to go through a couple of

exercises that you can do so to start with and turn the base of support and

lateral shuffle and we're just going to do some singles something to push three

to the right and then three to the left just maintain that base of support

there's nothing outside

you clearly see most of the way all of the way this is just in that left

legacies pushing off and that base of support never closes anyway sticks that

perfect distance he stays nice and low to the ground and he's probably ready

for something to change but we have a way the same thing again please cool

especially at the start when doing this take it slow so many people want to get

to the other end super fast and then technique goes out the window but ash is

quite good at this so now we're going to move on to some doubles so again three

two to the right three to the way

nice

that's good so I've got a band here and I'm hook it up to hash

now she's pretty good at this but if he wasn't good at this he could push off

into the outside leg then this could make him pass to try and produce more

force to being able to go in that direction he's like I said it's got me

pushing off this leg so this added resistance is going to try and cop still

like that a little bit more

oh that's tough that you can do same to get into single where you can do doubles

in order to get people to understand and utilize the outside leg to push off to

maintain that base of support so once you've progressed a little bit

of your lateral shuffling you can start to incorporate some games into it so

like I said before make sure you're always maintaining that base of support

but this game that we're going to do here basically we've got me against ash

we've each got their own cone the same distance apart and we're going to start

on this cone here so what's going to happen maintain the base of support to

start and whatever he's gonna do Emily's gonna stay go or clap widow she's going

to do what she does that we're gonna have to lateral shuffle out to that cone

touch it with our hand and then shuffle all the way back to the start first one

there wins yeah

so that was a classic for me as to how not to do it but to see how my hips turn

to face a target because I really wanted to win a shit better than me so I

cheated a bit there and he still beat me

you can see that we're maintaining that base of support none of us are getting

too close to our feet and that allows us to push off the outside leg and get

there a little bit quicker but the the way it's going to be most important is

on reactive stuff so on this one we know which way we're going you know it's

where we're coming back so we can preempt it but if we're mirroring each

other base of support comes really important to maintain because you never

know the next person is going to do so like I said this game here allows us to

react to a stimulus so base of support becomes really important just

maintaining it so we can react to what's coming next because like we said it's

the whole the whole purpose of this in the supporting or activity based

environment so what's gonna happen here ash is going to be the leader I'm going

to be the mirror so I have to mirror everything that he does

just staying like in line with here keeping that base of support good that

cones one those firms are to what emily is going to do is at any point she can

shop one

so Ashley but Betemit linea moving course now we're going to do is we're

going to move on to some linear movement so we've spoken about jumping spoken

about lateral movement we're gonna move on finally some linear but it's gonna be

less games in this to be honest you don't have enough space to get one on

one when it comes to linear movement but I can show you what they are and you can

try and do myself cool so the last thing we're gonna do is going to be about

linear acceleration into deceleration and then about maintaining your base of

support so any sports where you have to run short distances suddenly have to

decelerate maybe change direction cut left cut right turn around if your team

loses possession things like this might be really beneficial viewed so this

exercise here what we're gonna do is we're starting over on that side just at

the start of the turf he's going to run up to this cone here soon as he bricks

the line of these cones he's going to begin to decelerate and then when he

finishes he's gonna be in that face of support position to react to anything

I'm not gonna make him do anything but he's gonna be in that position ready for

anything that's gonna happen

phlex aguas flex nice flex he's ready to react to anything so what we're going to

do now is you're pretty good at it we're going to get you to into a town into a

ninety degree turn so the first one is going to be facing this June so you're

going to start in the same spot sprint out and now it's a decelerate before

this time so into this time you're facing this base of support position

again he's here so change the direction or changing the way your face is

obviously quite an important component cuz where you spray your hips up

relative to what you want to do is very important so now she's going to be

facing this way again I'm not going to give him any stimulus but he's going to

be in that base of support position turn them ready to go

yeah went to tired face again

okay position that like he said he was sitting a bit back towards his heels why

wouldn't you do now same again but face that

Oh same again repeating myself but it's that triple flexion position that means

he's ready to do anything so I would progress that on to some games but that

in itself can be again if you have two or three people or an entire team of

people if you've got enough space you can get them starting on that line

get them accelerating out to that cone decelerate in a face in whichever

direction you predetermine for them then once they're in that position you can

then give them instructions I could say re-spread re-accelerate the rest of the

way I might say back to where you came from yes sir sprint back all the way to

the start I might say jump I might do whatever it's all relevant to what you

do in your sport what you're trying to improve the only thing I'm reinforcing

here is that you can put base of support into all of this so make it solid make

it ingrain so when you're having the pitch right on the field wherever you

are your base of support is so perfect that you're ready to react to anything

so last week Ashe put out a blog so kind of merges into stuff like this so like I

said I didn't speak so much about mechanics of how to accelerate or too

much about how to push off how to do this other stuff so go watch Ashley's

video if you want to merge a couple of things together but thank you very much

for watching don't forget to subscribe hit that Bell so you get a bit of a

notification every time we put a video up and thank you very much for watching

The Year of Coexistence - What is Coexistence? - Duration: 1:50.

So Defenders of Wildlife is making 2019 the year of coexistence.

We're focusing on all of the innovative ways

that people can share the landscape with wildlife.

What is coexistence?

Simply put -

it's helping people share the landscape with wildlife -

using innovative tools

to reduce the conflicts that people have

with wildlife in their natural habitats.

Some of the work we do to advance coexistence

includes implementing protective non-lethal management interventions

like turbo fladry,

guardian dogs,

electric fencing

and food storage lockers.

We improve infrastructure with wildlife crossings

to increase habitat connectivity and reduce vehicle collisions.

Education programs like our newly launched "Orcas Love Rain Gardens"

increase awareness and social acceptance of wildlife.

Financial incentives like livestock compensation

safeguard ranchers' livelihoods.

And we promote renewable energy through responsible siting

to reduce negative impacts on wildlife and their habitat.

We've been leading the fight to prevent human wildlife conflicts for decades.

This year we'll be looking at some of the species that are benefiting from our efforts -

we'll be talking about wolves bears and panthers,

as well as bats, ferrets, bison, and orcas.

We want you to join this conversation -

so watch this space -

to see how you can help

because we need all of us to work together to coexist with wildlife.
