Every sport has its superstars. You’ve probably heard of basketball’s Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James. Or football’s Donovan McNabb and Tom Brady. The sport of purebred dogs has superstars too.

There’s:

Coco, a spunky and sparky 5-year-old Norfolk Terrier, who beat out thousands of other champion purebred dogs to take home the Best in Show title at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. Read Coco's Profile.

Static, the intelligent and loving 7-year-old Border Collie who served as lead-off dog on the AKC/USA World Agility Team at the World Agility Championships in France 2003. Read Static's Profile.

Whether you win a title or not, competing alongside your AKC-registered purebred dog in AKC sports is a thrilling, fun, and challenging adventure that will help you make the most of your time with your best friend!
