I didn't see the 7" tall? But also they when I take Mokie to Obedience the facility there competes in agility and they host= "Proud host for the 2011 and 2012 AKC Agility World Team practice" They have a lady trainer there that won Nationals 2xs. So maybe there requirements are higher then else where? In all training classes if you don't start in the beginning and get a class pass. You must take a test to get placed. Otherwise the instructor will spend to much time with the dog lagging and it's not fair to the other dogs and owners. At the same time is the instructors don't spend time with the lagging dog the owners think they are being left behind and feel they aren't getting enough attention. So IMO testing is good. You don't go straight to the deep end and drown. Mokie can do everything he learns at home easily. But when in class the "distractions" make it tough. Its alot to make a "high prey" dog like Mokie listen or sit still. usually ppl who want dogs for agility they pick them. they like the Pack drive dogs. Because they listen.
