The Agility World Championship Experience
The FCI Agility World Championship has a powerful influence on our sport. Each year, as soon as it ends, instructors and competitors around the world set up courses from the event and run them in their yards and practice fields. Judges take elements from the course designs and incorporate them into their own.
In this video series, you will get an in-depth look at all four runs at the 2019 FCI Agility World Championship from a medal contender in each of the three height classes: small, medium, and large.
Tobias Wüst (Small Dog)
Tobias is the reigning FCI World Vice-Champion (individual silver) for small dogs with his Sheltie Dörte. He also won gold in 2017, crushing the field by over 2 seconds. Just two months ago, Tobias and Dörte won the small dog division of the 2019 European Open.
Unbelievably, he was also the FCI World Champion for small dogs with his Sheltie Peanut in 2016. Tobias and Peanut also won the European Open in 2013 and 2014.

Jennifer Crank (Medium Dog)
This will be Swift's second appearance at the AWC. Last year, at his first AWC, Jennifer and Swift earned the overall individual silver medal, making Jennifer the only American handler to capture an overall individual medal three times at this event. In 2006, Jennifer captured the overall individual silver medal at the FCI Agility World Championship in Switzerland with her Sheltie Guess. She followed that up with the overall individual bronze the following year in Norway.

Jessica Patterson (Large Dog)
Former European Open Large Dog Champion Jessica Patterson (Team Canada) returns to the Agility World Championship after another year of dominating the competition. At last year's event, Jessica and Border Collie Lux placed second in the individual jumping round, but faulted in the agility round, ending their bid for an overall individual medal.

Hops is the reigning and 3-time National Agility Champion for the American Kennel Club as well as a European Open team member, and runner up at the Masters Agility Championship at Westminster.
