On July 13 Kadence Melamud traveled to Opglabbeek Belgium with her 6 year old Scotch Collie, Fyfe. Kadence and Fyfe were one of 26 teams from all over the United States chosen to compete in the Junior Open Agility World Championship. The event was held over five days, with more than 1000 competitors from 42 different countries. 

JOAWC is for Junior handlers 9-18 years old that apply and qualify for the event. Kadence and Fyfe had four very nice runs and represented the USA very well!! Kadence most enjoyed how friendly everyone was, the amazing food, and the beautiful countryside and everything Belgium had to offer! Kadence and Fyfe are hoping to make the team next year and compete in Portugal!
