Does anyone have pics ?

Of their staffy's doing agility or flyball ? It sounds like loads of fun

Not the best photo but Moo tried flyball at a fun dog show day and loved it!

Dempsey's failed attempt at agility. He was more interested in getting a fuss.

Aw thanks for that !!!. We have a flyball team local to us and it's something I would consider joining when ours is old enough our old stafford would never bring the ball back though , just run around with it then lie down for a chew lol

I wish we had something closer, Moo was a natural and very quick! Its not something she could do now but well worth a go when your's is old enough you can start the basics when you get her of retrieving

It's not exactly what you were looking for but you may like the video clip below:

I have many pics of staffies in agility
For example:

This is Floyd any flyball training. He's just about grasped the concept but is so easily distracted by the other dogs. Hopefully we'll be doing some box work this weekend so we can compete!

I thought Floyd did great , looks like he really enjoys it . I love the way you shout to get them hyped up

It's a really noisy sport! You shout..reeeaaaaady... GO! As you release the dog and can chase them down the course a bit to egg them on, then as soon as they have the tennis ball in their mouth you leg it away from them as fast as you can!!

Most of the dogs are border collies and cocker spaniels but Staffordshires are just as quick! In fact, Floyd is the same height as a BC but the extra muscle bulk should make his turns and acceleration more powerful. From the moment we arrive Floyd wants to play flyball...the noises he makes are so embarrassing! I have all those border collie owners (whose dogs sits quietly waiting their turn) staring at my screaming dog while I try and convince them that he's just excited and not in terrible pain!

oh thank you we do feel a bit remedial next to the border collies who have the instinct! We haven't trained in ages because of the weather, really hoping for a dry Sunday and a focussed Floyd!

i have none but i want to try with tyke!!! i think he would be all ove the place but would have fun haha!!

Ledger is loving agility and is getting faster  we go two nights a week to our club Dig It Dogs in Sandbach and they also do an intro to flyball on the first friday of each month

this is us at our first attempt at a fun competition a couple of weeks ago 

Looks like so much fun! Max and I have just started as well but the club I am doing it at is doing in different blocks, we are in prep now for 5 weeks then you are taught two obstacles at a time and then put it all together in the last block.

So far I am loving it and Maxi seems to like this a lot more than obedience, I like that it is very focused on having fun and working together!
