I'm wondering if anyone on here has any experience training bulldogs, frenchies, Am bulldogs or Olde english bulldogges in agility.
I'm currently training my OEB for the sport, but wondering if anyone has any personal experience that they can share with training/competing these types of dogs in agility. I am mainly looking for AB or OEB info, but I would be interested in other bully breed info as well. What are the down falls? What's the hardest (generalizing) part about training these breeds specifically in agility? What is their best attributes in the sport? What sorts of "issues" should I watch for? etc etc. I train and compete with my JRT, so this is kind of an "opposite" breed for me - not quite as, umm, smart as a JRT - LOL. Fast though, very powerful, but not a lot of body awareness I find (need to do some major ground work - ladder and such).
Thanks in advance!
