This to me is what I endeared me to them. I can't stand acts (particularly singing acts) who sing their audition song (or do their audition routine) in the final.

im more embarrassed when a grown guy is singing the same words through out a song about keys and phone........... a prancing dog never won, ashleigh and her dog won and most of us realise how many hours work must of gone into their routines and the love, energy, and hard work was obvious to all, animals are very intelligent creatures and pudsey proved that. anyway obviously the nation agrees as they won ![]() i had goosebumps at all 3 finalists! all deserved to be there. |

![]() They were a fun act and I enjoyed watching them. I have a stressful job and it's nice to chill out and watch an entertaining act.

The won cause they were absolutely amazing, having worked with dogs myself I know only too well the hard work and dedication it takes to get to a dog to a quarter of what Pudsey can do, he is absolute star and for a girl so young to train him to this level is simply unbelievable, so many hours of training as finally paid off for them both and I think its awesome, actually makes me proud to be British that the british public voted them as their winners with such huge competition of talent in this years final.
Just have my fingers crossed now for next years with Crumpet, Pudseys daughter entering the competition and make it to win. |

Pudsey & Ashleigh won because they delivered on the night, and have been consistent throughout. They could've done the same routine 3 x over and bored us to tears, but they didn't disappoint last night, and in my opinion are worthy winners. It's boring having singers/dance troupes win every year. Pudsey deserved to win. Woof.

They won because we, the GBP, fell in love with them. A heartwarming act which entertained us.
PS - I am far from stupid.

They won for a handful of reasons which all added up to a winning combination.
A cute looking dog A young likeable girl (previous dog acts the 'trainer' has been much less likeable than the dog) Inventive routines that were more than just a 'dancing' dog Three different routines rather than regurgitation of a previous routine. Ashleigh was as much part of the routine as the dog. They came across as very much a girl and her much loved pet rather than and 'act' She made it look easy but getting a dog to do those things is incredibly difficult and takes hours and hours of work. The part where the dog is walking on its back legs is very difficult for a dog. At the end of the day they were just an enormously likeable couple that people took to their hearts. Well deserved winners IMO |

She could even buy a second dog
When we got our dog (a beautiful Lurcher called Brochan - that is Scottish Gaelic for porridge), we never even considered a breeder. We are now thinking about another rescue dog. In fact, Ashleigh could even donate some of her prize money to animal charities (just as long as it's not the RSPCA as they kill thousands of animals every year). Please go to a shelter if you are considering a dog. Don't discriminate against breeds either. Thanks. Anyway, I am delighted that Ashleigh and Pudsey won. Such a refreshing change from singers and dancers.

The dog act won because the talent in the past 2 series has been so dire that it's been very hard to pick anything else. That or people are so bitter about dancers or singers winning that they think choosing the boring dog to win would be good for the show , when really it is just embarrassing for the show. I would have preferred any of the acts in this years final to beat the dog though.

I have friends in Australia, USA, Canada, NZ who think this is either incredibly funny or embarrassing that it won.

For me, it was the first time I had voted in one of these comps for years, simply because I understand just how much work is involved in dog training. Not everyone did, but I voted for Ashleigh rather than Pudsey as I seen the act as more "My talent is being able to train dogs, and this is the end result of years of training". |

Personally I felt I could relax while watching Ashleigh and Pudsey, which meant I could enjoy it much more. Whereas with all the other dog acts I've constantly felt nervous that the dog would mess up/get distracted.
