If socialized with them at a young age.
Yes, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs are very good at agility trials.
Technically, any dog can do agility. The typically breeds you will see do agility are:Border ColliesAustralian ShepherdsShetland SheepdogsCorgisJack Russell TerriersThose are just a few. Mainly high energy dogs will do well in an agility competition.Shiba Inus could also be good at agility if you can convince them to do it.
I don't have a maltipoo but I have a friend who does. All dogs can become good at agility just some dogs need more training. They are very good energetic dogs. If you would like your dog to do some agility then you should be ready to put the time and energy in with it!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, Agility takes a lot of time and training. Check out a nearby agility trainer to see if you need to improve or work more.
Yes. Given the right training, papillons make excellent agility dogs.
Technically, all dogs can be good agility dogs, it just requires training. Since dalmations are big and not square-body shaped, they should be pretty good, even though you dont usually see them on TV running courses.
Herding breeds are usually the best agility dogs. Example Border collies and Blue Heelers. But also Jack Russels and other small high energy dogs can make great agility dogs too.
They are good guard dogs, good at herding, protecting, obedience, agility, and sniffing out things. This is why they are used in the police. They are all - round good dogs.
Herding dogs are quite good, but any dog that is quick and light-footed
Herding breeds such as Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Corgis, Australian Kelpies, Queensland Heelers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, and others have a *tendency* to have the traits that make good agility dogs: Eagerness to work, agility, speed, trainability. However, not all dogs of these breeds necessarily have these traits, and there are many other breeds where some or many of the individual dogs might have these traits. For example, many Papillons are amazing at agility, and so are some Poodles (of all sizes). Other working breeds might have some or all of those traits, such as Dobermans, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Chesapeake bay retrievers, Springer Spaniels, and many others. Don't just get a dog for agility though, you need to be able to love it, even if it turns out hating agility. I have a dog agility course myself and a doberman she is still young so you must be very patient with your dog while doing the course.
A dogs ability to perform agility doesnt always depend on the breed, but more with the dogs personality. When performing agility your dog must be focused on you at all times. Some use favourite toys or treats to maintain the dogs focus. Any breed can perform agility, and have the potential to perform it well. Though to answer your question more directly, on average, Golden Retrievers do well in agility due to there high energy levels, eagerness to please, and natural speed and grace (afterall they were bred as working dogs). Additionally, there high intelligence makes them fast learners. Once again though it all boils down to the dogs personality. Agility isnt for every canine.
No. They are fast dogs, but they are not cabable of the squirrels agility or the squirrels climbing ability. They are excellent fox, badger, rabbit, and quail hunting dogs. Yay!
