Staffy Agility

I was at the vet's today with one of the cats and just happened to pick up the Dec. 2012 copy of YOUR DOG from the magazine rack. Great article on Staffy's suitability for agility training. If you get the chance have a look.

Agility is great for them. I might try it when Logan is old enough. I dunno if he'd be much use at it though.

I think this is something Rocky would be good at too, dont have anywhere to do it though

Logan is old enough to start! I love agility we just don't have an all weather club blose enough to drive to

Really? I thought it was meanta be 18 months?

You can do all the foundation work at a club from 6 months - not jumping, weaving ect is done, but waits, direction work can all be worked on.

i would love to get Marley into agility and flyball when she is old enough.

we did agility with tash when she was about 5 months, the jumps were set on the ground and she did weaving and in the tunnels and stuff. She was amazing at it, really seemed to love it. Cant wait till shes 12 months so we can take it up big time

Roxy started agility about 2 months ago and is absolutely mad about it! Today we've had to miss as it's pouring down and didn't fancy standing out in the rain, but staffies really do excel at agility.

One of my favourite staffy videos is the following one of the East Anglian SBT Display Team at Crufts last year

Brilliant! Great video

also great at flyball, super quick and most teams love to have a staffy on the side as it gets jumps lowerd but the spead is disproportionatly fast. they look like litle supermen on the jumps lol love em
