All-American Dog ‘Nimble’ Wins 2024 Masters Agility Championship at Westminster

After an action-packed weekend, the 2024 Westminster Masters Agility Championship winner has been crowned at The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, presented by Purina Pro Plan. After preliminary agility runs on Saturday, May 11, and finals Sunday, May 12, All-American Dog “Nimble” and handler Cynthia Hornor of Ellicott City, Maryland, have taken home the top prize at the 11th annual competition. The preliminary and final runs took place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.

This is the first time in Westminster history that an All-American Dog has won both the Masters Agility Championship, and the Top All-American Dog award. This is also the first time a dog from the 12-inch height division has taken home the top title.

Hornor, however, is no stranger to the win. In 2023, she and her Border Collie, Truant, won the 10th Annual Masters Agility Championship at Westminster. See the winners in each height division below.
