2nd Place: Pekingese
3rd Place: Pomeranian

I gotta say, I’m not a huge fan of little dogs, but I do love the long-haired ones like the Yorkie, Shih Tzu, and Maltese. They look like Cousin It, and their little feet scurry so fast under that fur skirt!
Up next: The Non-Sporting Group!

My Redbone didn’t make the cut, but I still think I want one!

The winner in the 12-inch Master Agility competition was Keebler, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, who defended her title from last year. It’s especially amazing because she is recovering from being stepped on by one of the larger dogs at her house. Her time was 34.37 with no faults. And to think she almost wasn’t rescued – the shelter had to call her family at least three times and finally convinced them to foster the dog on a trial basis. They named her, so they had to keep her!
2nd place: Camber, a Papillon, with a time of 40 seconds and no faults.
3rd place: Dobby, an All American dog, with a time of 43.85 seconds and no faults.
4th place: Jett, a Schipperke, with a time of 47.29 seconds and no faults.
