My wife had one when we got married (miniature american eskimo) and she was extremely smart, and extremely fast. But we had her before we had heard of agility. She would play "soccer" and bat a 2" ball between her paws so fast you couldn't follow it with your eyes, and then she'd bat it forward with her nose. Maxine (Maxi) was also dedicated to my wife and would have done anything for her.

Maxine sounds like she was a wonderful dog. BlueKota Sep 21 #10

She was amazing. She knew when to be prissy and show off, but could scramble through the mud with the best of them, LT Barclay Tuesday #14
