I voted for mixed breeds to be able to compete. Especially in the companion and agility trials. These are neutered mixed breeds, they aren't advocating 'designer dogs'; they're just checking into opening up these fun competitions to people who have wonderful dogs even if they aren't purebred.
I once had a German Shepherd mix (her name was Einstein), lol, he was so smart. We put him in a dog training class, that also offered agility training. He loved it; it was so fun. I was very sad that he couldn't truly compete; he was a natural. Unfortunately, he died 6 years ago after jumping a fence when we were visiting relatives. We're not sure exactly what happened; we found him missing within minutes, and found him right away; but he ate or got into something poisonous. He started vomiting -- we took him to the vet; but he couldn't save Einstein.
Very sad, anyway, he was a mix -- he was a wonderful dog that we rescued from the local shelter, and I truly believe he could have seriously competed in the agility shows. |
