Agility World Team Tryouts Results

The Minnesota sun wasn’t shining as the tryouts kicked off, but the talent from the participating dogs certainly shone brightly at the Hopkins Pavilion. The exciting tryouts saw dogs competing in small, medium and large categories for a coveted spot on the AKC/USA Agility World Team. Every run was as action packed as the next. In the true spirit of agility, camaraderie filled the air. As each team ran all out, the crowd responded by cheering them on enthusiastically.

As official sponsor of the AKC/USA Agility World Team, i Love Dogs wishes to congratulate these members of the 2008 team!
