The American Kennel Club ( AKC ) has announced the success of the 2022 AKC Agility Dog Premier Cup , which was held July 9 , 2022 , in Columbus , Ohio . This means we get to talk about one of my very favorite thing : sporty wienerwurst doing sportsmanlike thing .
If you ’re not familiar with the introductory conception ofagility competitions , here ’s your drop ’s notes : Agility path are essentially obstruction courses with a act of different challenges — usually between 14 and 20 — coiffe up for weenie to make their way through . Jumps , ramps , weave pole , tunnel , tyre jumps , dandle board , A - soma , and a intermission table are all used in various combination to create a course that hound have to sprint through with their coach . Not only are dogs time through their circuit , but judges keep a nifty eye on the run and assign faults ( penalisation ) base on weave poles skipped , incline touch inking pad area missed , or obstacles bleed out of ordering . Too many faults and the domestic dog can be indispose wholly .
