As the 2026 FCI Obedience World Championship comes to an end, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this event so special.
To our incredible volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, our judges for your professionalism and dedication, the amazing handlers and dogs who inspired us every single day, and our sponsors and partners who made this championship possible – thank you.
It is because of your commitment, knowledge and passion that we were able to create a championship filled with joy, pride and memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all your support and for sharing this unforgettable journey with me.
Now, it is time to pass the baton.
We wish Portugal the very best as they prepare to host the 2027 FCI Obedience World Championship. We know the obedience family will be in great hands, and we look forward to meeting again next year.
