There is no way agility jumps in New Zealand will ever be as low as 4 inches. Even when we introduce micro competition for toy and very small dogs, it will never get that non-competitive, non challenging. It is not in the NZ psyche.
Taylor has done some marvellous clear round jumping where he has been placed high among dogs of all sizes - mostly considerably larger (maxi size) - and among big numbers, Soime of these events are called 'jumpers' meaning they are jumps only (up to 20) and may not have tunnels or weaves and certainly no contacts. Taylor has never fallen off a dog walk or a cross over or an A-frame.
Like Amanda, I am always conscious of my Corgi's well being. But I also believe in letting him live life to the full. He obviously loves agility and he loves being off-leash and he enjoys mixing in with almost every dog and he loves long hikes. So he gets involved in all these activities - much to his advantage. He is not simply a pretty addition to the house.
