More than 350 dogs competed in the 10th Annual Masters Agility Championship at Westminster with the event held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY, on Saturday, May 6, 2023. Each competitor ran through two rounds of competition, whittling down to the final 50 competitors.
Champions were announced in each of the six height divisions (8″, 12″, 16″, 20″, and 24″), as well as an All-American Champion, and Masters Agility Champion for the dog with the fastest time and cleanest run. Six-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie, Truant, took home the top prize and was handled by Cynthia Horner. Horner and Truant won the 20-inch height division, running the fastest clean round to take home the 2023 Masters Agility Championship title.
