Exciting Highlights From the 2013 Purina Incredible Dog Challenge
Published on October 07, 2013
Diving, weaving and flying canines from across the world impressed crowds on Saturday at the National Finals of the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge. The event, now in its 16th year, takes place at Purina Farms in Gray Summit, Mo.
Vhoebe, a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois from San Diego, deftly defended her dock diving title. She fell just three inches short of matching the world record she set last year at the National Finals: 32 feet, 3 inches. Huntmoor Diamond, a Jack Russell Terrier from Springfield, Mo., is eight years old — and has won the Jack Russell Hurdle Racing contest every year for the past five years. Not a bad run if you ask us!

Our friends at Purina estimate that 500 spectators showed up to cheer on their favorite canines. And since there's clearly no shortage of tweets, Instagrams and Vine videos, we're guessing they had a great time.https://youtu.be/k4XCYVjXV-M
