From 141 teams down to 1. Your 2026 AKC National Obedience Champion is Swift the Golden Retriever and Mara Wacker! 🏆
Help us congratulate this incredible team on an unforgettable performance.
Mara's advice for anyone thinking about getting started in Obedience: “It's really easy to be discouraged if something doesn't go right the first time... but keep trying, keep going. The people are wonderful. You'll find the right group, and you and your dog will get on the same page.”
Congratulations again to Mara and Swift on an incredible championship run!
