When the Westminster Kennel Club dog show added an agility competition a decade ago, it opened U.S. dogdom’s most elite door to mixed breeds for the first time since the late 1800s.
Just about a foot tall, Nimble powered through an obstacle course of jumps, tunnels, ramps and other features like a furry, black-and-white, well-targeted torpedo to cheers from the crowd in the agility finals. “I wasn’t sure it was possible,” said Hornor, an agility trainer from Ellicott City, Maryland, who won the agility contest last year with a border collie named Truant. Truant also competed this year, but Hornor thinks he wasn’t jealous of Nimble’s win: “Truant loves her.”
