In the agility classes my lab Star has enrolled in, there are dogs of EVERY breed! From bassets, to bloodhounds, as well as daschunds! ALL sizes and ages. Even an old English sheepdog! The point in our class is to help all dogs gain confidence, get some exercise, socialize and just have a good time. Many are wonderfully talented, agilie and are up and on their way to competing. The rest just enjoy doing what they can. I would highly recommend it; as along as it's not a "high pressure" performance oriented type class. Don't get me wrong, if competition is "your thing," classes such as the ones I've taken with Star cater equally to that as well. It's just wonderful that no dogs are excluded or ridiculed for what they can or can't do! Good luck! I know you'll love it! Oh, forgot to mention that around here, most dogs must be two years old before enrolling as it can be physically demanding, with potential falls, tumbles and such, and well, we have to watch out for those still developing and strenghening bones and muscles!
