The first national corgi agility championships to be held in the world took part this weekend, with just four competitors. They may not appear well suited to the sport of agility, but a small band of Corgis from around New Zealand has gathered to prove they can jump through hoops like any other. Just four took part in yesterday’s Welsh Corgi National Agility Championships in Upper Hutt, but despite the small numbers, the event was a world first. Wellington Welsh Corgi walking club president, Michael Romanos, says up until now, no country has ever held a national agility championship for Corgis. He says in the past people haven’t used Corgis for agility, but new rules in New Zealand mean smaller dogs now have a better chance at competing and winning. He hopes to make the championships an annual event. (via Newstalk ZB)
