2025 WKC Dog Show: Vanish The Border Collie Winner Masters Agility Championship

2025 Westminster Kennel Club Dog show is in full swing!

Vanish, a Border Collie, won the 12th annual Masters Agility Championship Finals on Saturday and continued the herd RSA’s dominant reign during the competition. Vanish’s Win marks the ninth for a border collie out of 12 winners of all time.

Vanish, who represented the 16-inch division, drove its way through the course in only 26.49 seconds. Equally impressively the disappearance does not even slip and made a clean race to victory.

Still, that time was less than a second better than runner-up in the competition. Swindle Celebration, a Shetland Sheepdog, completed the course in 26.91 seconds, only 0.42 seconds slower than disappeared.

Both Vanish and Swindle Celebration completed the course in a faster time than last year’s winner, Nimble, the Allamican dog who ran it in 28.76 seconds. It was also faster than Truant Border Collie’s victory in 2023, a time of 28.68 seconds that was previously the fastest winning time since the event began in 2014.

“I’m absolutely speechless,” Emily Klarman, Vanish’s trades, told Fox Sports after the victory.

The Masters Agility Championship Finals were the highlight of the Dog Cepper Day on Saturday. Agility is a timed competition that tests a dog’s ability to carry out an obstacle course – including any combination of tunnels, viewed, bar and wall shopping, tissue bars and more – according to the commands of its trades. Participants do not get the price card ahead of time, and agility is judged by time and completion (minus errors) on the course.

WKC donates $ 5,000 to honor the winner of the AKC training club of your choice or AKC Humane Fund along with a donation of $ 1,000 in the names of the four remaining first place dogs at their height classes and the highest scored all- American (mixed breed) dog.

2025 WKC Dog Show will stop for Super Bowl Lix on Sunday and resume Monday with events taking place in Madison Square Garden and Jacob K. Javits Convention. Best in the show will be crowned Tuesday at MSG.

The 149th annual WKC Dog Show will be released on FOX, FS1 and FS2 this week. You can also stream the event at FoxSports.com And on the FOX SPORTS app. Find a full schedule for events and more info on how to look here.
