huski Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Beagles aren't known for being dog sports dogs but IMO they are pretty versatile. My beag does agility and obedience and excels at any scent based sport/activity :laugh: She also excels at eating everything in my house...

BoStoNmAdNeSs Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My ex wife and I had the only Bull Terrier (Mini) and the only Boston Terrier in Australia doing Flyball...and they were pretty darn good..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janba Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Very good at lounging if they have a proper "off switch" but not as good as greyhounds. ETA lounging BCs Amateurs :rolleyes: They haven't even got any teefs showing. And no pointed toes!! :laugh: Teef showing and toes point in the middle of the night on my bed, pointing into my face, when I can't be bothered finding the phone to take a picture On a more serious note lounging can be trained from an early age by teaching a pup what you expect of it.

Had a friends young BC pup try Whippet herding a while back. FAIL Very challenging to herd an animal doing laps around you. To her credit she kept trying. Whippet switched to lounging in the end. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tay. Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Border Collies are definitely lounging professionals! Mine has her L.Ch, Lounging Champion! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirty Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hahaha Sal, that photo of Dizzy and Ziggy is priceless!!! My Lab x GSP is a professional eater. His record is about 5kg of cat biscuits in one sitting. He also eats rabbit pellets, poo (of any variety), rubbish and even lemons and plums (stones included).

toshman Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Border Terriers - good at absolutely everything - agility, obedience, tracking, endurance, earthdog, lizarding, rabbiting, toy chewing, herding (yes, yes - I've seen video of a BT herding!), tree climbing, fence climbing, yodelling, lounging about, sleeping, stalking birds, chasing balls, ignoring you, therapy dogs, arguing, answering back, loving, bed-sleeping, chasing small furry things, lapdog work, schutzhund, etc. etc. I think that just about covers it..... :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have a staffy cross that is a pretty impressive excavator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxy Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Professional pot plant racing and "How much cat can you fit in your mouth at once?" competitions. But on a serious note, Kyojin's great at obedience. The breed are known for being stubborn, but I have heard of quite a few being good at Obedience. What Akitas aren't crash hot at though is :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Love the um, enthusiasm of the Akita in that clip Minxy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussielover Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Labradors excel at eating :laugh: If there were eating competitions like there are for humans, Labs would win!!! Also tail/body wagging. On a more serious note, Labs excel at a wide range of activities, they are probably one of the most versatile breeds in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
