The reason was because of their joints and making sure they are properly developed first. He is now 2. I don't know if it's safe for big dogs or not, but we both know there are great danes and other large breeds that do agility really well. I guess you have a year to decide, anyway.

Thanks! My golden is very afraid of water. When he was a puppy he ran after a dog in the park and fell into a pond. Ever since that day he avoids water. When we go to the beach he won't get close to the waves. <em>Mayra Calvani's last blog post..<a href='http://mayrassecretbookcase.blogspot.com/2008/05/on-authorillustrator-relationship.html' rel="nofollow">On the Author/Illustrator Relationship…</a></em> This is great advice, Lindsay.
