Against the collies at club, she is very good. Cam be more controllable and makes
fewer mistakes, so I would give them 9/10
 Examples
of dogs that have done well in agility: Chloe Gardner's Rosie
What's it like to live with as
a pet: Brilliant, she is very loving, easy to train, great fun,
very sensitive knows your moods, good with all my other pets including rabbits, guinea
pigs, and chickens! She’s an in your face dog, a bit boisterous when visitors come. Loves
to be touching can’t bear it if you are out of touch when she can see you. I would say just
about the perfect pet.
Would you buy another one for
agility? Yes
