One of the two most important 'showcase' events for agility in the UK takes place every December at Olympia's London International Horse Show (the other being in March at DFS Crufts). Every year the country's most talented agility dogs and handlers vie with each other in qualifying heats at agility shows across the country and throughout the season to gain a coveted invitation to compete at the Olympia finals. 

For 2010, GWF Nutrition has added its support to this important showcase event for dog agility in the UK - The Kennel Club Olympia Agility Stakes.  This exciting collaboration between the Kennel Club and the manufacturer of the successful Joint Aid for Dogs product will ensure this event continues to remain a top class competition.

Olympia Agility Stakes
Olympia features a separate agility final on each of its five days, offering handlers the chance to compete in front of an audience of ten thousand noisy supporters:

• KC Olympia Medium Agility Stakes - for medium dogs
• KC Olympia Small Agility Stakes - for small dogs
• KC Olympia Large Agility Stakes - for large dogs
• KC Olympia Novice Agility Stakes - for large dogs competing at grades 3-5
• KC Olympia ABC Stakes- for large dogs other than border collies and working sheepdogs (Anything But Collies)
