A border collie-papillon mix named Nimble took home top prizes at the 148th Westminster Dog Show's Masters Agility competition.
A Maryland dog named Nimble took home major titles at the 148th Westminster Dog Show after racing through the event's agility competition, becoming the first mixed-breed dog to win the event. Nimble, handled by Cynthia Hornor, was named the Masters Agility Champion Winner and the All American Dog winner. The latter prize goes to the highest-scoring pup in the Masters Agility competition. Nimble also placed first in the event's 12-inch class.
Announcers could be heard cheering wildly for Nimble as he dashed through the course, with Hornor providing guidance. This is the first time a mixed-breed dog has won the agility competition since it was introduced in 2014. The competition, which kicks off the dog show, is one of the only events in the show that allows non-purebred dogs to compete.
