Where does the time go? Thank you for joining us in Wilmington, OH for these events. We know the late notice for the location change was challenging for some of you and we are so pleased that you made the decision to attend. We’re going to have a great time! The AKC Rally National Championship has become the premiere competition for all dogs competing from Novice through RAE; and next year the format will change, with the addition of the Intermediate and Master level classes. At this year’s event, three hundred eighty-eight handler and dog teams are coming from thirty-six states and Canada. Eighty-two breeds will participate in this cumulative score format, with 149 teams vying for the title of 2018 AKC Rally National Champion, which will be crowned at the end of the day on Friday. The AKC National Obedience Championship is the most prestigious obedience event of the year for Obedience Trial Champions and OTCH- pointed dogs of all breeds and mixed breeds. One hundred and forty-nine handler and dog teams are coming from thirty-two states and Canada. Forty-nine different breeds will participate in the unique format designed especially for the NOC, where the top fifty dogs will move forward to Sunday’s competition. On Sunday afternoon, the top twenty teams will go head to head in the final round resulting in the naming of the 2018 National Obedience Champion, First through Third Runner-Ups and the overall top ten teams. These two events will be exciting to see from beginning to end. You will see top scoring teams at their best. The rapport between the dogs and their handlers and the bond that exists as a result of spending so many hours training together will be second to none. 6 Exhibitors we wish you good luck! We compliment the hard work and dedication that qualified you to enter these prestigious events. While there will only be one National Champion named for each event, your presence is proof that you and your dog are already winners. The American Kennel Club is proud of your accomplishments and heartily supports your enthusiasm and devotion to AKC Rally® and Obedience. Our appreciation goes out to everyone involved in putting together these two National Championships and the many volunteers helping to make the weekend go so smoothly; we sincerely hope all of you have a wonderful time visiting with old friends and making new ones.
