Tripawd agility dog?
You heard me. My 6 month old Australian shepherd/bordercollie mix with her left back leg missing runs agility. As of now,she will jump,go through tunnels,and attempt the weave poles. But a friend from my moms work is building us some more equipment! So excited! My mom should bring some of it home tonight.
So i know the photo is of Ella,but that’s because ella goes to class to jump agility. And,my laptops hard drive failed yesterday(boooo) and so at the moment I can’t get the photos of her jumping from my camera.

That’s pretty cool! Good for Jojo & Ella! There are a couple other tripawd dogs who compete too: maggie.tripawds.com & butcheyhudson.tripawds.com are the 2 off the top of my head.

Thanks for the links! It’s cool to see other tripawds doing agility too. The place where Ella takes lessons have never had a tripawd enroll in the class.

Cool! Check out Maggie’s blog and Kess the BC for other agile Tripawds. Just be sure to start slow with training, focus on core strengthening exercises, and minimize jumping.
