Rocky and Desi will both receive a Chipotle burrito placed on a large, white plate. One burrito will consist of rice, beans, steak, cheese, and corn. The other burrito will consist of rice, beans, chicken, cheese, and corn. Each dog will be placed in their crate (where they usually eat) and each dog will receive their burrito at the same time. One owner will have a stopwatch for Rocky and another owner will have a stopwatch for Desi. After every piece of ingredient (all rice, corn, cheese, etc) has been eaten, the time will stop.
Tale of the tape:
Rocky: 102 pounds, male, brown collar, food motivated, spoiled and/or has a sense of entitlement, likes to sleep on his back with his paws in the air, talks (whines, howls, etc) a lot, is a ladies man, gets a lot of compliments for the stripe on his face, fast eater, messy eater.
Desi: 82 pounds, female, pink collar, food motivated, likes to sleep right next to owner, is fiercely loyal, has a deceivingly sweet appearance, but is very dominant (hence, the training sessions), gets a lot of compliments for her pink collar, likes to ride in the car with her head poked out of the sunroof, is much faster and smarter than Rocky, more deliberate eater who does not make as much of a mess as Rocky.
We will post official results on the blog after the conclusion of the eating contest. If you want, post your predictions in the comments section!
