AKC 'Canine Olympics' Set for January
Overview
Thousands of top-tier canines will vie for victory at the 2006 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Tampa, Florida, on January 14 and 15.
Event Highlights
The elite contenders, featuring the top 25 dogs from each of the 153 AKC-recognized breeds, are invited to compete for impressive cash prizes exceeding $225,000, with the National Champion taking home $50,000. This thrilling event will be broadcast live on Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel at 8 p.m. EST on both nights.
Ron Menaker, the show chairman and AKC Chairman of the Board, remarked, "The dogs at this competition represent the dedication of responsible breeders who strive to create the ideal examples of their breed. This is a must-see for any dog enthusiast eager to learn about purebred dogs and witness the incredible human-canine bond."
Location and Events
The Tampa Convention Center and St. Pete Times Forum will host three exciting events: the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, the AKC National Agility Championship, and the AKC National Obedience Invitational, collectively dubbed the "Canine Olympics."
Last year, about 2,500 dogs, including 108 international competitors from 16 countries, took part.
Agility and Obedience Competitions
Agility events will showcase dogs' speed and versatility as they race against the clock, navigating a challenging obstacle course. Agility has rapidly become the AKC's fastest-growing sport.
In obedience trials, dogs and handlers operate as a team, performing a set of prescribed exercises to demonstrate their skills.
Gina DiNardo Lash, AKC spokeswoman, added, "With global participants, diverse competitions, educational displays, and interactive activities, this is a canine event like no other."
Junior Handler Competition
The championship also features a unique competition for Junior Handlers aged 10 to 18, who will compete for top honors and scholarships.
Witness the thrill and excitement of the AKC 'Canine Olympics' this January and celebrate the world of competitive canine sports.
