Hey guys,
I'm wondering if any of you know of any dog sports that will allow three-legged dogs to compete? To be honest, I've had my heart set on agility ever since the first day I saw Lego fly by the other dogs at the dog park with ease... She's so fast on three legs, and has barely any difficulty maneuvering, I figured she would be perfect, and was so excited to get her started in some classes.
..Then I was told that apparently three legged dogs aren't allowed to compete in agility, and most classes (even for fun) around here will not accept Lego. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed.. I really think that she would have enjoyed it quite a bit, and that it was a good way to help burn off some energy, work on her obedience AND give her a mental challenge.. Plus I'll bet she could have given quite a few 4-legged dogs a run for their money
Basically I'm curious if that's the rule across the board for dog sports, or if there's something out there that would allow her to compete?
