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! 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!!! ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:55 pm Animad Packleader Joined: Nov 06, 2006 Posts: 116 Age: 36 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: Dog,cats ,rat Karma: 0 Thank Location: Lincolnshire Medals: None 409 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: 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 Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:22 pm Beckyess Grooming Expert Joined: Oct 20, 2006 Posts: 535 Age: 38 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 11 Thank Location: Somersetshire!

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!

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?

I know they do ABC agility (anybreed other than a collie). I just wish they showed more on the telly of other breeds.# Becky ____________ Love is a Posse of Poodles and Percy Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 11:31 am spottydog Dog Expert Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 1106 Age: 51 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 7 Thank Location: Republic of Ireland Medals: 1 (View more...) 2273 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: I am dying of frustration. "Polidot Thyme 'n' Motion" aka Skittle (great name for an agility dog! ) 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! In the meantime, here is Skittle, who is Polo's Grandson, at 7 weeks: Not a bit like a Collie! When I get news I will report back .... maybe she'll send a pic too! ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 8:57 pm spottydog Dog Expert Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 1106 Age: 51 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 7 Thank Location: Republic of Ireland Medals: 1 (View more...) 2273 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Just got an email through ....
