Corgis dominate in success rate, most, if not all the three or four national organisations that run agility in the USA. BUt I would certainly love to see even a handful of Corgis competing. Cardis are a little slower than Pems but that shouldn't deter Cardis from participating. Taylor's improvement over the hurdles is really something - he's building up his leg muscles and he is probably trimmer in weight - and that's very important for Corgis to successfully jump over every hurdle and not knock down a pole. Taylor has been in 15 events where he's only been faulted once - and in 12 of those it's been a hurdle pole - and not always the top one. Taylor weaves very very well though his speed can vary a little depending how he's feeling.

If Jh enjoyed watching then it's a small step to competing. I don't know what an unenthusiastic agility Corgi looks like. To me they are all go. But so much also depends on the handler - I honestly feel that I'm holding Taylor back. Almost without a doubt his mistakes have been my mistakes.
