Congratulations to Angela and Visa on Winning the 2015 AKC Agility Invitational!

The AKC Invitational is an annual event that invites the Top 5 agility dogs of each breed to attend. Angela and Visa, as well as nine more of Joan’s students, received an invitation this year. There are four rounds in the competition. The top scoring dogs from each jump height compete in a final round. Angela and Visa made it to finals for the 12 inch jump height and then won the final round!
This win is especially sweet as Visa is the daughter of Joan’s dog, Neil.
