This has been circulating around Facebook and I thought you'd all be interested since the original competition was won by a Labrador. Here is the link to the article.

It was in 1933 that her idea first bore fruit. The first Obedience Trial (still then called a "test") was held on her father's estate in Mount Kisco, New York. There were eight dogs entered in this first obedience test, two Labrador retrievers, three poodles, two English springer spaniels, and one German shepherd dog. The winner of this event was a Labrador retriever.
