You may want to look into Papillons. The breed excels in both obedience and agility. An added bonus is that they aren't destructive or nippy like the herding breeds.

There is nothing wrong with liking poodles! They are wonderful pets and very intelligent.

I really don't understand the stigma behind a wide ranging public dislike of the breed. Maybe there is...

:D Hi again everyone!

Thanks to all of you who visited and continue to visit Sophie's photo album. The invitation is still open and comments are welcome and encouraged. If you like, you can...

:D Hi, everyone. I have been gone for a while because of serious computer problems (I just had to re-format the hard drive, I couldn't keep patching it together). Anyway, now that the system is up...

Sophie has been a therapy dog for about two years now. Even before she received official certification, we were visiting local nursing homes and spreading love and joy to the elderly and infirmed. ...

Sophie eats whatever I eat and she gets her own plate! Is she spoiled? Sure she is. I do, however, have good reason to not feed her "dog food."

The first of these is that there are...

Unfortunately, I think that Sophie's CDX probably won't happen until next spring. I came very close to getting a Dog World award with her in novice (CD) and I think that she is perfectly capable of...

I came across an interesing list of statistics that should be of interest to anyone interested in an agility or obedience dog. I got this information courtesy of Deb Jones & Copper (her Papillon) :

Hi everyone!

My work schedule has eaten into my ability to get on the forum for a while. Anyway, I had the day off and was stuck doing errands when the show aired and I missed it. I should have...

Haltie face collars are good, in fact they are the "most humane." Unfortunately, unless the dog is very submissive, there are usually problems with using and introducing them. Many dogs will not...

By the way...

Papillons, while high energy outdoors, are relatively low energy indoors. This is something else to think about considering that most of the other agility breeds are high energy...

Papillons are the small dog to have in agility. They excel in the sport and enjoy the challenge tremendously. As odd as it seems because paps are relatively obscure, I am willing to bet that any...

This is an awful topic! It has only happened a few times in history that dogs were shunned, but even then, they always had a secret following.

In my opinion, no breed in particular would survive...

Get your dog in your general area so that you can easily reach out and postition him.
Kneel down and postion your dog so that his side is facing you and...

Silkies can be very territorial when it comes to other dogs. I think the main reason is that they don't think that they are dogs and the sight of another dog reminds them that there is a possibility...

My mother has a Silky Terrorist, er terrier. He is a wonderful dog, but he hates children. He doesn't growl or snap, but he will do everything he can to avoid them.

It probably has something to...
