A dog and its owner have been crowned winners at one of the most prestigious agility competitions in the world.
Jenny Kimber and her two-year-old Border Collie called Rogue, from Oxford, competed in agility qualifying heats across the country before winning the Large Novice final at the Kennel Club Olympia Agility Stakes.
The competition which was held at the London International Horse Show at Olympia in December, saw dogs of agility compete in five finals in the small, medium, large, large novice and ABC categories.

Miss Kimber said: “Olympia is the pinnacle of agility – just qualifying to compete was a massive achievement, so to win the final is amazing. I’m so proud of Rogue for being the best dog no matter what.”
Skinner’s pet foods were in association with the competition and William Delamore, the sales and marketing director at Skinner’s, said: “The standard at Olympia was world-class; every year we look forward to the competitions and we are thrilled to be part of such a prestigious event.”
The Kennel Club is the largest organisation in the UK devoted to dog health, welfare and training. Its objective is to ensure that dogs live healthy, happy lives with responsible owners.
