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.

Does anyone have a maltipoo that is really good at dog agility because i have one and i want to enter her into agility but i don't want to waste my time if she is not going to be any good?

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.

The Importance of Canine Agility Training?

Some people may look at canine agility training as something that is only beneficial if they are going to "show" their dog in a competition. While this is often the case, this isn't an exclusive circumstance. In fact, there are many good reasons for you to enroll your dog in a canine agility training class or seminar that go well beyond a simplistic show. For example, dogs love to get out and run. While most people understand this, they don't present dogs with the types of obstacles they need to get the most out of their exercise. Canine agility training allows dogs to have fun while they exercise.
