Borderjacks were created for flyball, not agility.

The dog itself might be speutered, but the parents didn't have the
same criteria....or they wouldn't have been parents (duh)

The same is true of EVERY mixed and cross-bred dog doing agility (duh).

Which is why dogs bred specifically for agility competition should compete
separately.

Gee. Then there'd have to be a seperate class for a lot of "purebreds",
too - and exactly how would you propose differentiating between the Border
Collies bred specifically for agility & those which weren't? (Other than, of
course, putting all of Paulena's dogs in the bred-for-agility class.)

frankly, I have no idea who Paulina is, and don't care. Mixed breeds should
be pleased they have an opportunity for a new venue. If they don't like the
conditions, they can go cry elsewhere.. can't please everyone (Talk about
snobs)

She's a "top" AKC competitor, who breeds "sport" BCs, using practices that
many people question, and is also notorious for rapidly getting rid of dogs
if she doesn't think she can win with them. I've got no respect for her
after meeting the dog she owned when she got interested in agility, and
hearing what that dog's owner had to say about how the dog ended up being
placed by a BC rescue group.

Do you intend to address my comments your contention that there should
be "seperate classes" for "dogs bred for agility"?

Mixed breeds couldn't care less, they're dogs. Their owners, however, are
entitled to their opinions.

Doubtful since Diddy has made it obvious she knows ****-all about agility.
