Simoman 110 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Very good, my old shepherd had a bad habit of trying to clear jump the 6ft scale, took a bit of training to get him to scale, rather than jump it, he also clear five bared gates and could manage a 15ft long jump, looked very impressive until compared to one of my lurchers :11: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEAN3513 7 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 a good friend of mine competes in agility , and the skill level of the dog astounds me,,,,,,,,,,20 ft long jumps , 6ft standing jumps etc superb to watch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caesardog 1 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 We use the platform and ramp for high scales (anything over 6 foot) as the impact on landing can be damaging for the dog. I have seen some dogs doing very long long jumps again it is best done in moderation due to the impact. I have seen the dogs jumping from a ramp into water which lessens the impact. We do lots of agility here and have a large k9 assault course as well more pics to follow!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarraghsGem 92 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 i did agility with my old collie bitch, 7ft was the height of the training wall but she cleared it with ease, hopefully i will get around to training her daughter for agility soon. :showoff: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caesardog 1 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I always enjoy looking at photos of dogs doing different activities! The scale in the picture is around 10 ft thats as high as our scale goes, Thanks for the comments Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 My bitch has competed at all sorts of dog sports over the years, the long jump into water or "dash and splash/ dock dogs" being her best. Her personal best jump was 26.5 ft . . . pretty bloody amazing, the world record was held by a greyhound at 31ft! Interesting that her long jump best on land is 17ft, yet my tiny 21" beddy whippet can pop 15.5ft no bother. she stands at 26" and is a longer bodied dog than the lurcher, i think the collie drive is what makes her so good, she simply will not believe she can't do it! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caesardog 1 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 It is great to see such agile dogs, have you any pictures you can put on here please. I have a few Lurchers who come training with me it is clear to see that they would be able to acheive very good distances on the jumps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
