Each year the American Kennel Club (AKC) honors the top 5 ranked agility dogs in each breed. These top 5 scoring dogs are invited to compete at the AKC Agility Invitational in Orlando Florida in December. This year, for the first time the AKC is also honoring the top 5 dogs of each breed competing at the preferred jump height. While the Preferred Jump Height dogs are not invited to compete, their names are entered into the program along with a photo and they are recognized at the annual banquet. This year Kanzu was the #1 Preferred Rhodesian Ridgeback. Kanzu’s handler Vicki LePenske will be competing at this year’s invitational with Kanzu’s gal pals Echo and Scarlett who are the #1 and #2 ranked agility Weimaraner’s in the country. Vicki will be at the banquet to accept Kanzu’s award and to celebrate their partnership and achievement.
