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.

What dog breeds are good for agility Not what they need to be agility dogs But good breeds for agility?
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.
