On Saturday, the All-American dog from Ellicott City, Maryland became the first mixed-breed dog to win the Masters Agility Championship at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in a blazing run that electrified the crowd at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

A 6-year-old female, Nimble completed the obstacle course in 28.76 seconds, which was the third-fastest time in the 11-year history of the event and only the fifth time that a dog has completed the course in fewer than 30 seconds.
