I see that this is an old thread, but I will post this here.

While picking up Cody from Doggy daycare yesterday I was inquiring about their agility classes they offer. The lady said they usually don't recommend them until they are 1 1/2 to 2 years old - as far as the jumping part, but have other "intro" basic classes for the bit younger dog.

She then mentioned that if one was thinking about it, they should have their dogs hips and elbows x-rayed to make sure they are okay - and said a good time would be when the pet is neutered just because they are under anesthesia. She quoted something like only costs usually $40 to have this done - that sounds on the cheap end to me for x-rays compared to what my vet charges.

Anyway, is this advised for anyone thinking about doing agility with their Corgi or any dog for that matter?
