It is not a numbers game if Pems are achieving better results - there are sufficient Cardis in agility in the USA to gauge whether Cardis are as fast and athletic in relation to the Pem. I don't really think so. Cardis have the tail but as previously mentioned, this may not be any advantage. Cardis are stockier, heavier and they have a different front and front feet conformation - maybe these physical things together with a slightly different mental attitude, makes them generally not as agility excellent as the Pems.
We know they dont generally run as fast or are quite as busy as the Pem.

Here is what Linda, an American in Maryland has to say (Linda has two Pems and two Australian Shepherds involved in agility):: Pems move better in agility than do most Cardis.
