Small but mighty Nimble becomes first mixed-breed dog to win Westminster agility title Enlarge this image toggle caption Jennifer Peltz/AP Jennifer Peltz/AP She was nimble, she was oh-so-very quick – with the perfect moniker to match. A 6-year-old canine from of Ellicott City, Md., named Nimble beat out 350 competitors to become the first mixed-breed dog to win the Westminster Kennel Club's Masters Agility Championship in New York. Nimble's second secret weapon: her owner and handler Hornor, who won the Masters Agility title in 2023 with her other dog Truant, a 20-inch border collie. And if there's one lesson Hornor wants other dog owners to take away from Nimble's big win, it's that agility is a great way for owners to bond with their dogs.
