We are thinking of training Lincoln for greyhound agility competition. Trish met someone who trains greyhounds in this type of competition. We just have to wait til Lincoln gets alittle older. He seems to be a good fit for something like this. Has anyone else heard of this or had their dogs involved?  |

Do I have THE role model for Lincoln! A greyhound in Miami and a local hero placed by Sergio and his wife through their group in Hollywood, FL called HollydogsClick HERE for her incredible story. ETA: This picture from Greyhound Club of America |

If he likes it, go for it!!!
Within GINN, we have several galgo's that do agility, one of them started at the age of 7 and he just won his first game.

Trish is already building some of the agility jumpers. She has contacted a couple of trainers in our area and we she has looked into some inclosed places where they do this.

Oreo and I have tried it with the 4H group here, and he doesn't care for it. He can do everything except the A frame. Absolutely hates it!!! Sorry I can't help you! He stands himself up for showmanship, though. Definately contact others in the area that might help you though. As for the tunnel, Oreo will even go through the small tunnel that they have set up for the smaller dogs.
