In this episode (53:30)

In this episode, we discuss the 2025 AKC National Agility Championship, including a historic win by our own Jennifer Crank in the 16″ class. We're also joined by 12″ winner Abbey Beasley to talk about the toughest course challenges, trends in course design, and what this year's results signal for the agility landscape. Note: In the podcast we said we thought that none of the top seed dogs won, which was incorrect; Amelia Geninger and Eclipse (24″) were the top seed and won the title. They were the only top seed to win.

You Will Learn
  • What made Jennifer Crank's 16″ win historic.
  • A look at the recent dominance of Border Collies in the 16″ class and how this year broke the trend.
  • How Jennifer and Abbey approached not being the top seed in the Finals.
  • Key course challenges from NAC 2025 and how the prelim course designs differed from the Finals course design.
  • Why the livestream camera work left many viewers frustrated.
