The hunt is on for New Zealand's most talented pooch

If your dog's the most talented pup in town, they could be in to win big.

The secret's out and the search is afoot (a-paw?) to find the most obedient, agile and entertaining pooch in New Zealand.

TVNZ is casting out the net for dogs and their owners to sign up for a new TV series.

If you think your furry friend is a winner, they could be contender in the canine competition offering a $100,000 winner-takes-all prize.

Dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds who are down to learn new tricks are welcome to apply - though human applicants need to be at least 18 years old.

To apply, head to tvnz.co.nz/woof and complete the online application by March 1, 2020.

The series will be produced by Great Southern.
