SIMON the husky, team agility run, AWC Finland
The video
This is a 73-second team agility run from the AWC in Finland, starring a Siberian Husky named SIMON. The appeal is obvious if you've seen Lobo at Westminster: here's a husky in a serious international agility setting, actually running the course.
Meet the dog and the channel
There's very little public information here, and we won't pad it. The uploader, AgiNotes, is a tiny channel with about 534 subscribers when we checked in November 2026. The video has no description, and the title only gives the dog's name, the event (a team run at the AWC) and the country. In agility, AWC usually means the FCI Agility World Championship, but the upload doesn't name the handler or the national team, and we couldn't find a source that does. [Flagged for review: thin backstory. The handler and team could be researched through FCI results before publishing.]
How it blew up
The video went up on October 2, 2019, and had about 371,000 views when we checked in November 2026. That's hundreds of times the channel's subscriber count. Almost all of those views must have come from recommendations and search, likely from people who'd just watched a Lobo-style "husky does agility" video and wanted to see one do it properly. We didn't find any press coverage.
Our take: after watching Lobo's Westminster run, this is the palate cleanser. It's proof that a husky can run a serious course when the motivation is there.
The husky science behind it
Agility rewards speed, precision and close teamwork with a handler, and those are traits the border collie has been bred for over centuries. Huskies were bred to pull, pace themselves over long distances, and make some decisions on their own. A husky competing at a high level is rare, which is why this clip has had hundreds of thousands of views. It usually means years of building motivation, not just teaching obstacles.
A practical tip
If your husky enjoys agility, figure out what drives it. Many huskies care more about chasing a moving toy or a flirt pole than about food. Use that as the reward at the end of each sequence, and build your sessions around it. A husky who's having fun will move fast. One who's bored will smell every jump.
