The long-reigning border collie is the breed to beat at the Westminster dog show agility competition, as over 300 dogs from dachshunds to Dobermans scramble for the trophy.
Border collie Trinity, for one, arrived Westminster-ready – so ready that she had a few streaks of Westminster purple in her fur.
But dogs that aren’t quite such naturals at the sport “actually teach you the most,” says Koras, of Weathersfield, Connecticut. “You have to learn more about them, and it’s harder to build that teamwork, but it’s really satisfying to do.” For handlers, the sport is a physical and mental workout. Using verbal cues and body language, they guide their dogs through tricky turns, jumps, ramps, tunnels and other obstacles.
