The AKC Agility League hosted its second Championship event from August 29-31, 2024 at Purina Farms in St. Louis, Missouri. In the AKC Agility League, dogs and handlers compete in teams, rather than individually, to win in one of four skill levels: Ph.D. (International), Senior (Masters/Excellent), Sophomore (Open), and Freshman (Novice). More than 60 teams from around the country competed at the AKC Agility League Championship – double the entries from last year’s inaugural event.
The AKC Agility League, sponsored by Purina Pro Plan, YuMove, and AKC Pet Insurance, will have over 1100 runs over the course of the three-day event. Winners were crowed in each of the four levels.
The winners of the Ph.D. Division were team “Dare to Dream,” based at Dream Acres Agility in Wisconsin. They are led by their team caption, Marissa Hansen, who ran with All-American Dog King Charlemagne The Great OA AXJ NF BCAT. Team members of Dare to Dream included Hansen, Brittany Rose and Border Collie Little Foxx’s Ginny Weasley AX AXJ NF FCAT RATN DS DJ DDG DDBE, Rachael Evers and her Border Collies MACH Offon A Bit Of Attitude With Ontarget MXS MJS XF and On Target’s Totality MX AXJ XF.
