Sorry, but you’re wrong.
It depends on the individual dog, NOT the breed. Technically, any dog can run agility, unless the individual dog has a problem where they can’t go over the obstacles.

I have it about the body of a Saint. I do agree that every dog benefit from some training and it’s good for there mental condition. I just believe that with such a heavy dog you can better take another exercise
But that’s my opinion, I also believe a lot of Saints are happy with this exercise. Better then no exercise at all!

Maybe not competition, but I am willing to bet that a St Bernard and other related breeds may benefit from the excitement and exercise of basic agility training. It never hurts to train your dog, no matter what their health condition, just make sure to take these handicaps into consideration and work around them.

Starting agility after christmas with my lazy pit bull.. here’s to hoping it will whip him into shape!

Agility is not suitable for flat faced dogs like Pugs because of their tendency to over-heat.

So am I doing something wrong by running my labrador retriever? He is almost 2 years, very fit, very agile, golden. He loves it and I would hate to take it away from him but if it is doing him harm I no longer wish to continue…

hey u make a mistake! if your dog has any hip, heart or any kind of problems u shoud not let him breed. u only spread further theese problems. any dog has the natural right to have fun and work along side owner. It’s the right thing to do. people are afraid to run , not your dog!

I don’t agree. I believe it’s better for some breeds there health you must NOT do agility. Like a Saint Bernard. It’s just bad for there hips, and they don’t have a really good heart and stuff.
So not every breed is good for agility!

** SO SORRY BUT I HAVE TO DO THIS!
Jun rhim is 12 years old. he has glowing red eyes, and is covered with blood. He was always the loner at school. He was pushed into a sewer during a fire drill, and he was stuck in there for one day. David Mcclearen found this message, and didnt re-post it. He was found in the morning with his skin peeled off, and his eyes removed. If you do not post this on 10 videos, Jun will take you to the sewer and kill you tonight at 2 AM.”

In my experience, Shetland Sheepdogs are the easiest dog to work with. They are a good size, are Herders and naturally favor agility
