Meet the Winners of the 2026 Westminster Kennel Club Masters Agility Championship

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, presented by Purina Pro Plan, kicked off its week of 2026 Westminster events on Saturday, January 31. Among the events was the 2026 Westminster Masters Agility Championship, which crowned its winners in each division, with “Prove-It” the Border Collie, handled by Amber McCune, taking home the top prize in the competition’s 13th year.

The Westminster Kennel Club donates $5,000 to honor the winner of the Masters Agility Championship to the AKC training club of the winner’s choice, or the AKC Humane Fund.
