Seem to be good, my rough collie is a legend
i love border Collie's ARE GREAT FOR AGILITY ! its like they are meant for agility! border collies will do excellent in trials, why? because they are fast, agile, and listen very very good
Yes, they are awesome and good at everything
Border Collies are probably the best. (They are the smartest dog)
Any as long as they're trained right.... But mainly Collies and labs;)
Yes. The Shetland Sheepdog is one of the leading breeds in agility competitions. As these dogs are originally bred to herd sheep, they have high energy levels and are talented athletes.
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.
yes border collies are friendly. and they do live many years. they are obedient, good to train
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.
This will depend highly on the individual animal - agility requires intelligence, athletic drive and a strong desire to work with and please the human handler. None of this is guaranteed or eliminated based on breed - there are some Yorkshires Terriers that are fabulous at agility and some Border Collies that are horrible at agility. However, if you are looking for an animal that has a higher probability of being willing and able to perform at a high level in agility, a better breed would be one from the sporting or herding group.
Yes Welsh Springer Spaniel are quite good in agility at least 9/10 is their grade. Welsh Springers can do a lot of tasks such as water retrieving, flushing, tracking and they can be good therapy dogs. But if you want dog for agility Welsh Springer Spaniel is awesome, and one good thing about them that there is no separate hunting and show line like in English Springers, also you can consider them as good potential, and some other breeds which makes excellent agility dogs from VIII. FCI group is Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever as well as Lagotto Romagnolo and Spanish Water dog.
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.
That is what they were bred to do.
