To get the overall winner, the leaders’ times from each class are compared, giving us Verb, the Border Collie, from the 20-inch class as the overall champion of the event.

Jake: The Most Titled Boykin Spaniel in History!
Here is Jake, pictured with friends of his family. Jake is a Boykin Spaniel, which is the state dog of South Carolina. According to his family, Jake is the most titled Boykin in history, having earned championships in conformation, rally, obedience, senior hunting, and dock diving. In his spare time, Jake works as a therapy dog. Way to represent the Boykins, Jake!
2015 Master’s Agility Champion!
Fox Sports has now posted the winning run at the 2015 Master’s Agility Competition at Westminster from last night. I don’t want to spoil the surprise or anything, but a Border Collie won.
Sorry – couldn’t get the video to embed on here, so you’ll have to follow the link above to watch the video. This dog was pretty amazing!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
National Dog Show on TV Thursday
After you watch the Macy’s parade, stay tuned to NBC for the Kennel Club of Philadelphia’s dog show. The event was actually held November 12 – 15, with unbenched shows on Thursday and Friday, followed by benched shows over the weekend. (For the uninitiated, a bench show is one where the dogs stick around throughout the day so attendees, exhibitors, and breeders can stop by to meet them. An unbenched show is one in which the dogs are allowed to leave the competition when they are done being shown.)
Over 2,000 dogs from across the country competed at the show, which was hosted by John O’Hurley of Dancing with the Stars fame (who is a dog person) and by Devid Frei, known as the dean of dog show commentators – you’ll recognize his voice when you hear him.
Results are already available online, but I don’t want to spoil the show, so I’ll just say this: the same amazing dog won ALL FOUR shows! I will post the full results on Friday.
Enjoy your turkey!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
