Best in Show

Update on the 2006 AKC Agility Trials

This weekend dog enthusiasts around the globe took a moment to paws and tune in for the 2006 AKC National Dog Championships broadcast live from Long Beach, California. Incase you missed out; Signafur has the summarized scoop…

Nearly 2,500 canines, spanning 150 breeds and representing 16 countries competed this weekend for the prestigious title of "Best in Show" at the championships. Viewers were biting nails, had tails between legs as the contestants displayed their skills and gave their all for the national title and $225,000 in prizes, the largest amount in dog show history.

Who went home with the loot? James of Fairfax Station, a.k.a. "Diamond Jim," an English Springer Spaniel from Virginia. Diamond Jim pranced off with the blue ribbon and the top cash prize of $50,000.
