Get Ready for the National Finals of the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge
Published on September 30, 2013
This weekend Purina Farms will play host to a group of racing, diving and hurdle-hopping agility dogs who could probably give Olympic athletes a run for their money. In other words, it's time for the 16th annual Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals.
Canine competitors who have been showing their stuff in qualifying events across the country will converge on Gray Summit, Mo., on Saturday. The event lineup features freestyle flying disc, weave pole racing, a Jack Russell hurdle contest and a diving competition where canines leap off a 40-foot dock into a 19,000-gallon pool.
