The international event saw the top large, medium and small dogs from different countries, which qualified at the Kennel Club International Agility Festival in August 2013, take to the ring to compete in the final.

Bernadette and Zaz won in the small category after competing at Crufts in both jumping and agility. They had the fewest combined faults in the fastest combined time, calculated over the two rounds of the final.
