How old? I would want prelims on hips and elbows at the minimum and then test the dog's drive level for food and/or toys, how it reacts to changes in environment and obstacles. No fun doing agility with a dog that you have to baby through everything because they can't deal with the obstacles or the stress of the environment during trials. I would also look at structure. Balance works best and the dog will stay sounder over the long haul. No extremes (too angulated or too straight).
Would appreciate insight into this pedigree
I have the opportunity to get this dog as a breeder return. I know enough to see that he is a working/show cross but if anyone can give further insight I would appreciate it. The breeder shows the dogs in the UKC ring and one of his littermates is training in SAR, another is training to be a narcotics dog so they must have some ability to work. I'm looking for a house pet that I can either do agility or rally with. Thanks!
