Almost a month ago, Lily Belle competed at the AKC Rally National Championship. The AKC invites dogs to attend and compete. In some classes, so many dogs enter that it becomes a raffle to see which dogs are allowed to compete. Dogs are invited to compete at one of the following levels: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Excellent, Master, or Champion. This year Lily was invited to compete at the Excellent level. We qualified at both runs but did not place in the top ten. It was a good experience to see some of the best teams compete at the national competition.
Here is a video of one of Lily's runs with a few more photos.
