Watch Trick, Stripe, and Mia Run the Agility Course at Westminster

The excitement is building in New York, with the Westminster Kennel Club show well underway. In agility, handlers guided their dogs through a timed course of tunnels, ramps, weave poles, and other obstacles. The grand champion of the event was Trick, a Border Collie, owned and handled by John Nys of Rhode Island.

Watch Trick’s winning run:

But extra points for enthusiasm went to Shetland Sheepdog, Stripe, who won the 16-inch class barking all the way!

The darling Beagle, Mia,  may have lost  a bit of her concentration, but she won the audience’s heart two-fold over!

Watch her run:

Now comes the breed judging, and the much-anticipated Best in Show on Tuesday evening. Will C.J. the German Short-Haired Pointer hold his crown? What we know for sure is that our canine friends won’t disappoint us: The audience will leave smiling at some unexpected antic, kiss, or surprise winner.
