Show Dog Training - Be A Winner!
Recommended Answer:
Dobie, Standard Poodle, Shepherd/Collie Mixes.
But you know what is best for you? One that you and the dog CLICK. Doesn't matter how the dog is built or what breeding it has if you two don't click it won't work.
Dobies are finely built, highly intelligent, absolutely docile with everyone (unless you train it to be otherwise), great agility like a deer, but they don't do temperature extremes. They shed very little if you feed them correctly. They travel well.
Standard Poodles are also highly intelligent agile and shed very little. They too are docile unless trained otherwise. They travel well. Not near as 'nervous' as their smaller cousins.
Shep/Collie and/or Lab/Collie mixes are best for the same reasons as the above two. Don't cross lab/shep or you're bound to get bad hips every time.

It's the heart connection that makes it all work to the level of champion or top sales dog. A dog will sell your training abilities far quicker and more surely than all your well-meaning talk.
Happy clicking. :)
7 Top Dog Training Tips
- Honestly, I do not know but my shih tzu, Mitzy and Dane are very agility!
- Golden retriever or if you want to go smaller a papillion. Just some suggestions, but I think an Australian Shepherd is great for what you are looking for.
good luck! - I would suggest German wirehair pointers. They are highly intelligent, great for all sports, and are super loyal. I have two, and I couldn't be happier with them. My dad hunts with them, my younger sister and I compete with them in agility, obedience, showmanship, freestyle, etc. I got my dog from a humane society. She is a such a sweet dog. They love other animals, and children, and they love to cuddle. Even our 9 year old gwp still thinks shes a puppy and tries to climb into your lap!! And unlike other dogs (pit bulls, poodles, etc.) their eyes have character. They aren't just black eyes that stare at you, you literly can see a personality behind those eyes. I swear my dog understands everything I say to her. My dog many times, has mastered a trick in 10 to 15 minutes!! I kid you not!!! This breed is amazing. They hardly require grooming, a bike ride will satisfy them, and most of all you loving affection. Hope this helps, and good luck!!
- german shepherd got mines yesterday. so obedient. follows u.
- Brittany Spaniels are excellent agility dogs and are very friendly.
But are not for the first time dog owner, and require training like any breed.
My suggestion is to lots of research , a brittany or cocker spaniel may be just be for you. - I would suggest going with the Australian Shepard. I just had a pure bred Merle Blue Australian Shepard. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but she was so smart. Perfect dog for what your looking for. They are such sweethearts with such a high amount of energy. They thrive on human interaction and are great with other animals as well.
- I think maybe a German Shepard. They are good with people, easy to train, and very obedient.
- I would suggest American Pitbulls because they are actually very kind and gentle dogs and very smart as well!! Or either a labrador. From my experience, these 2 breeds fit what you are seeking out for.
- Well, this may seem silly, but I suggest a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. They shed, but have high energy (enough to compete in agility), have a sturdy build (these little guys are tough! They herd cattle), are way smarter than you think, totally obediant, and are so sweet with other dogs and people. If not a Corgi, then definatley go with the Australian Shepherd.

Be sure to scroll down and view the photo galleries. Cute/fun/possibly helpful stuff. - Standard poodle. They are athletic, great retrievers, fun-loving and GREAT trick dogs. No one is afraid of a poodle.
BCs and Aussies are not all friendly with people - be careful when you choose. They can be quite aloof, especially the ones more suited to work. - 1. If you want a versatile dog and you intend to compete in agility, than you probably can't go wrong with a border collie or aussie shepherd. Both are smart dogs and superb at agility (generally speaking of course--all dogs are individuals).
2. Friendly with all people....hmm....I've seen some border collies who's stare is off-putting or threatening to other dogs so when you say "friendly" I don't know if that means to other dogs as well. And of course both border collies and aussie shepherds require a tremendous amount of work--they're working breeds.
3. A lot of the other breeds that have been suggested here (labs, goldens, GSD's, etc.) really aren't outstanding agility breeds if you're interested in pursuing that sport strongly.
4. One breed you might want to consider that has both agility ability AND is outstanding at tricks would be a rat terrier. Very smart dog, very hardy and if you got a standard it would max out at 24-26 pounds, a decker would max out at 45 pounds (so compatable size-wise with a border collie). I think a rat terrier is probably better at tricks than aussies or border collies (but the aussies and borders are better agility b/c they have better endurance--all things being equal). Rat terriers are more mellow than most terriers, short-haired and easy to care for, good indoor dogs but enjoy a lot of physical activity (runs, walks, hiking in the woods).
5. The data that I've seen from the FCI agility nationals indicates that the most popular breeds are (looking only at large and medium sized dogs): border collies, belgian malinois, pyrenean sheepdogs, shelties and english cocker spaniels. I'm surprised that aussie shepherds aren't more prevalent but that may change soon. In any case, the pyrenean sheepdog (like the BC) is a working breed meant for herding but in a smaller package. Very bright and quick with a good work rate. I don't have any personal experience with a malinois so I can't say what that breed is like for tricks or agility. And although shelties are good at agility, I think that their tendency to bark and sometime frantic nature doesn't make them appear to be friendly to some people initially.
By the way, I've included a URL for a website you've got to visit if you're serious about dog tricks. Silvia Trkman from Slovenia is one of the top agility competitors in the world. She's a big believer in constantly teaching your dog tricks to bond the relationship, engage them and also prepare them for performance. She's got some videos of her tricks on her website--just amazing stuff. And she has 3 different breeds of dogs that she uses (her best, La, is a pyrenean sheepdog). - Have you done research on the Lab
- brittany spaniels are great agility dogs they are easy to trai nbut the need a plenty of exercise i wanted ot get one but i can he will be most of the time ohme alone with my other dog( skye terrier) but instead or brittany im thinking about eskie or papilon
- i would suggest a standard poodle, fits the criteria and they are known for their jumping or a weimaraner also good choice
