Ever wonder exactly how popular agility has become? Well, the American Kennel Club (AKC) is just one of the many agility organizations available and they’ve just released their 2011 Agility Statistics. Be prepared to be amazed!
According to the AKC Agility’s In The Zone newsletter: “In 2011 the AKC® agility program reached a new record number of agility trials and entries for the 17th straight year, with 2,629 agility trials held and 1,040,071 entries recorded.” Now that’s a lot of agility runs!
Another interesting statistic that was shared by the AKC is that: ”2011 was also the first full calendar year that All American dogs competed in AKC agility through the new Canine Partners(SM) Program. 2,160 agility titles were earned in the second year of the program, with 29 dogs qualifying to attend the 2012 National Agility Championship.”
