2016 AKC National Championship: Agility Invitational Video

2014 Westminster Agility Course
I had planned on spending today live-blogging the agility event at this year’s inaugural Westminster Masters Agility Competition. Imagine my surprise when I learned they are not streaming any of the event online or through their mobile app nor are they posting preliminary results on their site. Grrrrrr.
I will bring you what news I can, whenever I can, and I will definitely post tonight during the televised portion of the competition – the finals.
For now, you can download the running order if you have friends who are competing, and you can see a layout of the various courses here.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
