If you go to an agility trial you may not see very many collies competing. There are a number of them across the country, but they seem to be spread very thin. Only at collie nationals will you see a lot of collies having a lot of fun doing agility.

The herding breeds are great at agility, and collies are no exception. They are fast learners and they can clear jumps 24 to 26 inches high, depending on the height of your collie and the venue you are competing in.

Going over jumps, through tunnels, onto contact obstacles, collies can do them all. Collies may not be as fast as Border Collies or Australian Shepherds, but they have just as much fun, and are just as much fun to run.

So if you have a collie and you are looking for something fun to do with her, consider agility! Find yourself a positive trainer in your area and I bet you will have a ton of fun!
