Steven at agility

[Margit]

Hello!

Although almost all my plants dy my dogs grow.
So Steven reaches the large Level with 44,2 cm, but he has no problemes with the height. I would like tohave more height classes also in Germany.
But if he comes through the parcours including me as handicap he is the first three places.

Just have a look it is an A1 class parcours from 2004.

Hello Margit, Steven is lovely and a smart agility dog. I know what you mean about size, they seem to know how to reach just the wrong height!

Also was interesting hearing agility commands in German

Huge jumps - but Steven has no problems

That looked like a great run - you must be very proud.

[Toffee's Mom]

YES
wow, those jumps are huge! Steven is awesome, great course and well handled, so fun to see!! Well done

I would not be able to have poor Toffee run this course, as he's too tall as well... I am only doing this for fun and as something to do together and I actually love training and everything else that comes with agility, but I would not be able to do agility with my best friend if I still lived there!

Deutschland braucht wirklich eine Klasse fuer zwischen groessen! Wir haben eine 'Spezial Klasse' du kannst deinen Hund dann die naechst niederige hoehe springen lassen.

We're just starting out, really... but this is regular jump height of 16 inches I really cannot imagine him jumping 22 inches...!
This was a practice in November

LOL....I run chihuahuas and those jumps look enormous! and I thought having to adjust to 12" jumps with Angus when he is old enough was going to be challenging!

Great job and beautiful run!

Thanks!

Steven is really a joy to watch. It impresses me every time when I see how many agility comands he knows. He has to know them because I am not there to show him.

@Toffee´s Mom: It looks as if there is still a lot of free space between Toffee and the obstacle. So it should not be a problem to raise the height.
For Steven the midi height was no challenge and he often droped a bar. But as soon as we trained large it was OK. It was as if the lower height was beneath his honnor not worth watching.
