These Dogs Are Fitter Than You

This video has just an amazing wealth of doggie talent.

It’s a clip of a dog agility competition from a few years ago in Del Mar, California, and it has racked up over a quarter of a million views. The annual competition has the dogs run through an obstacle course, sort of like an American Ninja Warrior of the dog agility world, in the intense heat as fast as they can.

They rarely ever falter and always come out with lightning speed. Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Cocker Spaniels…you name it, they’re in the contest. It may look easy on video, but in real life this course is tough! Imagine all the careful balance it would take going down the A-frame so quickly, and the athleticism required to jump over so many hurdles. Must have been hard for the judges to pick a clear-cut winner.
