yes it took me 2 years to get my flat-coat able to show in agility and once she got her qualifing score i like cried because it was like we worked as a team and all that hard work is a dream come true


But devenly get a lab because my dog was 1000 and labs are alot cheaper and easier to train. one of my freinds just quit at showing her dog because the dog is a flat-coat and is too stuborn and this lady is a chapion trainer referred then anyone in my state!

i could never get my dog to do agility! besides, she would be afraid of the poles and tunnel!! lol (she is a frady pup, really)
she is a toy poodle mix. she is even afraid of the gutters on the side of the road.

i mean hey usapup if you want a challage and to spent alot of money that great but if you want a flat-coat so much you can look at shelter then you wouldn't be spending as much and also there neuterd or spayed already updated on shots, microchiped and all that other good stuff

I would say check the shelters. A LOT of dogs get turned into the shelters because they were: too hyper, out of control, untrainable, destroyed the house; this includes purebred and mixed breeds. The reason these dogs get taken to the shelter is because the owners don't take the time to properly train and exercise their "hyper out of control" dog. A lot of people want a dog that just sits there and looks pretty. However, you want a dog that has the energy and ability to go jogging with you and keep up, what better way to find a dog that meets those needs than at a shelter? Don't get me wrong, there are dogs in shelters that are fully trained but were still just too "hyper" for their lazy owners to deal with. Labs come a dime a dozen and the shelters are usually full of them just waiting for someone like you that can give them an outlet for their energy. Or you may find yourself falling in love with a bouncy, active mixed breed that has all of the characteristics you're looking for that you can't find in just one breed.

First of all, pleeeeeease DO NOT purchase your dog/puppy from a pet store. They come from very, very horrible places called puppy mills.
