This year, our National Obedience Championship features 124 dogs from 32 states, representing 40 breeds. Our Rally National Championship competitors include 411 dogs from 87 breeds and 36 states. We are delighted to count seven Juniors among our handlers this year. We welcome every one of you, and we thank you for being with us to exhibit the beauty and teamwork of AKC Companion Events. Your dedication to training and trialing over the past year – in spite of unprecedented circumstances – proves that the human-canine bond can be tested, but never broken. The American Kennel Club is grateful to our exhibitors, volunteers and supporting clubs for helping us bring these incredible competitions to life in an exceptionally challenging year. Every one of the dogs and handlers in our rings represent the pinnacle of success in AKC Obedience and Rally throughout the United States. This weekend, each sport will crown only one AKC National Champion. But when the competitions have ended, remember that the dog you take home is always the winner of your heart. Are you ready? Forward! Good luck and above all, have fun. Dennis B.
