Westminster Dog Show Highlights Agility and Mixed-Breed Excellence

The 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show coincides with Super Bowl weekend, showcasing agility, flyball, and obedience competitions for both purebreds and mixed breeds.

• The 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show featured agility competitions, with a border collie named Vanish winning the Masters Agility Championship Finals.
• For the first time, the show included a demonstration of flyball, a fast-paced canine relay race that delighted spectators with its 'organized chaos.'
• Mixed-breed dogs, such as the award-winning Gable, participated in agility and obedience events, marking a continued expansion of inclusivity since 2014.
• The event drew a wide variety of competitors, from rescue dogs like Soy Sauce, an Australian cattle dog mix, to lesser-known breeds like the Danish-Swedish farmdog.
• Breed-by-breed judging and the coveted Best in Show award are set to conclude the event on Monday and Tuesday.
