Debbie - what you say in response to my post is interesting.
My Taylor might be well bred etc but what about all the other mix bag of dogs he encounters who also run freely before and after the agility training sessions.
I have found that very very few dogs have any aggressive attitudes or tendencies in agility circles in NZ - and this from those at the very top of the tree (and world class) to those such as Taylor.
Agility and socialising - dogs and humans - go hand in hand in NZ. It could be that in the USA, agility people are more sensitive and less easy going than those in New Zealand. I suppose we are a more laid back, 'she's right mate' country. We don't have class distinction and most if not all the people 'pitch in' to help out at the meetings- so the picture here is mostly of dog and man all in it together.
It is not like this here in conformation and obedience. But the agility people are a different race.
