[ILoveKettleChips]

Here are some photos of my 2 lurchers doing agility too! My younger dog, Weasel, is 2 and a half and just loves it! He would do agility till he dropped! My older one ( a lab/lurcher cross) loves it too, but he is a bit steadier - Weasel is totally manic and you never know what to expect when you go into the ring!

Here's another couple of photos of Weasel at a demo in Perth last summer...

Hi there Cynthia welcome to K9 i'm warning you your training will suffer as a result though (ok Woody i'll set off to training after i've just had a quick look at K9-3 hours later oops sorry Woody we've missed training...!) Have you seen your pic of Dusty on here

What great pictures, Guiness looks a real "super-star" (w00t) . I would love to do agility with Sid who is coming up to a year old - what age do they start. I take him to training but he seems to get bored - my OH says "you will never train that dog" - which just spurs me on - I am going to see if there is a local agility class near me so I can tell OH to eat his words. :cheers:

Hi there, you can start the basics from puppyhood, like waits, control exercises, left and right turns, poles on the ground etc. :thumbsup: But real training clubs should not allow you to start until your dog is 12 months old to start jumping gradually and the contact obstacles etc. Your dog will probably much more enjoy the fun sport of agility rather than the less interesting obedience training clubs, but i am biased!! :b

Hi, I have a 3 yr old whippet x terrier and we started agility this summer... its been tough going as hes the sensitive sort.. but we are getting on fantastic at it.. he's as light as a feather and absolutly loves it.. i've learned not just about agility but about my dogs breed (he was a rescue dog) I am now totally in love with lurchers... their just the best!

I'd highly recommend it to anyone with a lurcher...... role on the competitions!!

​

Also... on another note, i'd really like to speak to other like minded lurcher agility addicts.... so please feel free to post

I train with a club in Dublin and my dog is the only lurcher.. it would be good to be able to get advice and share stories of lurchers in agility!
