Hi Linda of Herding Dogs - what a remarkable pic and so very foreign to the NZ dog sports scene. Your 14 year old seems in excellent shape and health and it is great that an 11 year old Pem can still foot it in agility/flyball. There is a 13 year old farming type dog here in NZ who still competes at the highest level - but of course she isn't a Corgi. I'm sure Taylor will be hard at it when he is seven or eight - if I'm still going strong! Flyball is a bit bigger here in NZ than I first thought. Taylor and I were recently competing in an agility event and there were 120 entries in the event with 23 minis - good minis numbers considering they must compete against allcomers. In actal fact Taylor finished first among the minis but only 14th overall. There is a Vallhund who regularly competes against Taylor and is generally five seconds faster over a course. She is real quick. Vallhunds are very much like Pems but those legs are longer and they have a more primitive attitude- ie not so refined as Corgis are.
