This was my very first time handling a corgi. Seeing the video, I agree that I think he needs to be gaited a little faster -- I will try to move a little quicker next week. :)
I'd love to see a movement of him at full extension. His front looked OK to me, but rear looked REALLY restricted. I'm no expert, and I agree, he should have been going a little faster :)
Ike is the first dog that is purely my own. We have overcome some big hurdles with his fear of people (how can you avoid them!) and continue to work on building our confidence in the sport of agility. Ike takes life at a much slower speed than I do, which is a challenge. My goal for our partnership is to figure out a sport or joint activity that Ike and I can enjoy equally and excel at together. This would be in addition to Ike's #1 sport, lounging on the couch; which I don't really enjoy or excel at.

Carmen is a 9 yo salt-n-pepper Miniature Schnauzer from the same breeder as Ike. I started working with Carmen in the winter of '08 after my DH told me we could not get another dog until the end of 2008 (enter Bug 5/08). Little did I know how much joy she would take in agility and what a spitfire she would be. We are having a ton of fun working together. Unfortunately, Carmen was diagnosed with PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) in 10/08 and has been retired as her vision continues to change.

Bug looks good tight now, very good. I think he could move a little faster though, show off his beautiful movement.
Eeek! I did not know I was being videotaped. LOL

Is it better not to know? :-)
I wanted to be able to show Holly and my chiropractor to make sure they felt he was moving okay (in regards to his iliospoas, Lyme, Etc.).
