That's great. He's just showing everyone what "agility" looks like in slow motion. I give him a 10.

Good dog! He knew what the next move was every step of the way!

So do the animals get the gold or do the trainers?

Performance must at least qualify for an honorable mention. Don’t know what other category would work.

Did he time out?

But they lead a slow-paced life. As a Mastiff 'mom' I can assure you this event was followed by a four-hour nap.

shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. Give me a minute. I'm coming. shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. Occasionally he gets lively, but mostly it's shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.

When we rescued him, I wanted to name him George, but my better half was having none of that, so we stuck with the shelter name, Moby.

If you don't get the George bit, here's a hint.

MF45 around that agility course.

I'd bet he could beat MF45 at the mental acuity test as well.

Way to go, buddy! I think you've got the Mastiff class locked up!

Great dog. Loving, loyal, protective, smart. But everything is at their own speed. I miss mine - she passed over the rainbow bridge 15 years ago. I am sure this good boy took an 8 hour nap following that ordeal

Slow and steady doesn’t win this race but he wasn’t so lazy as to knock stuff over.
