Post subject: Breed doesn't matter! Reply with quote

A Dalmatian that I bred is starting to do well at agility, despite sneering looks when he turns up, when people see how good he is they are silenced! Laughing Cool The owner's second dog is coming along well, too. There are quite a few Dalmatians doing agility now and it's great to see them do it. So don't be put off having a go if you have a breed not normally associated with agility, you could be pleasantly surprised. We have agility with some of the Champ shows here in Ireland and many of the crosses do well too.
Me? I am nowhere near fit enough!!! Embarassed

Believe it or not but i reckon i could run my Staffy round an agility course,she loves jumping over park benches and even goes down the slide(much to the amusement of kids and parents).She is extremely agile and very quick.Not too sure about the weaving poles though Laughing

I must admit that is the reason why I don't like watching agility or flyball on the telly because they are all BC. Not my favourite breed and it makes it all rather boring. Varity is the spice of life. I start agility next year with the mini poodles!

People sometimes forget that the poodle is in fact a "proper" dog and very versatile. I have seen a standard poodle doing a high level of obedience, and very good he was, too!

I want to train mine up for working to the gun, I've heard of others who use their poodles for what they are bred for!

That's interesting!
Why don't you do a piece on their history and uses, a lot of people (myself included) are probably in the dark about that Very Happy

i would love to see different breeds doing agility,mini poodles that would be interesting,dallys aswell.
I must admit(please don't be offended)that i have never really gone for the poodle as they always seem so poncy,but i would be interested to learn about their working skills etc.

I love to see fly-ball with the Collies but i am sure there are other breeds out there that are just as agile don't you think?

Tanya.

I'm not offended Tanya I thought they were poncy too, now I wouldn't have anything else! I know they do ABC agility (anybreed other than a collie). I just wish they showed more on the telly of other breeds.#

I am dying of frustration. "Polidot Thyme 'n' Motion" aka Skittle (great name for an agility dog! Very Happy ) had his second competition today. His owner has emailed me to say have I seen the results on the net, (private webring for Dally owners) unfortunately nothing has come through yet....I emailed her back an hour ago and am still no wiser! Rolling Eyes
In the meantime, here is Skittle, who is Polo's Grandson, at 7 weeks:

Not a bit like a Collie! Very Happy
When I get news I will report back .... maybe she'll send a pic too!
