Hello I am new to this forum.

I am looking for information or someone to talk to about agility and clubs in Brittany.

I have seen some of the French sites, but would like to get first hand info, about the pros and cons if any.about this.

Thank you

Hi Big Ben

We belong to a dog club in Saumur which does obedience, agility, tracking, attack and all sorts of other things.

Agility is BRILLIANT and any dog can do it. The dogs all seem to love it. Some obstacles, such as the ramp and plank which is about 1m50 off the ground, need to be taken slowly at first. Then there are the tunnels which, once they get the hang of, just race through.

It's all about giving your dog confidence so that he, and you really have fun, which is what it's all about.

Our dog club is very active - you can do tests and competitions, or simply go along and join in. It's really friendly and there are some members who don't speak French, which no-one minds.

I haven't laughed so much in ages at some of the antics of the dogs - and the owners ! And there are breeds of dog I have never seen before.

Give it a go, you and your dog will love it !

I know you want to discuss it with dog owners with experience of agility in France but in case you don't know of this club it may be useful, as you see it's based in Brittany.
