Bulldogs can be very driven exboyfil Nov 2020 #5

Rudy the Bulldog does very well in agility, though. tblue37 Nov 2020 #2

And of course, There's Kratu! tblue37 Nov 2020 #4

Our collie mix was a judge greeter for a long time exboyfil Nov 2020 #6

LOL. Maybe the judge carried bacon in his pocket. tblue37 Nov 2020 #7

That handler did an extraordinary amount of work getting him to this point. Our collie mix was never task driven so my daughter had a real job getting him to do agility. It could only be worse for a mastiff who must be thinking the whole time - why am I doing this?

Hats off. Clean weaves (the hardest thing to do) and only one bar. Don't worry about the time. Just watching him "run" was a real treat.

This one is well bred (versus many that can barely walk). A wonderful well trained dog.

In this next video, he steals a pole instead of jumping over it:

He had one judge in particular (the one who he did his first trial under) that he had a weird obsession with. The judge even tried to hide from him behind a post, but Arlo sought him out. I always joked when the judge's name came up that we needed to go to that trial. My daughter was not amused.

He has great enthusiasm anyway. And stealing the jump pole was too funny!
