How is this the dogs full potential??

Also, I'm really sorry to be negative - but I think this dog might be dead... check out the clip around 1.30... he disappears off the edge of a wall into nothing - and the clip just stops!

Wow, that is one fit dog!

Don't let the yob hoodie types over here see that, they'll be traning their Staffys to do their breaking and entering for them!

Kept thinking broken bones or cruciate damage!

Wow how pessimistic... from the looks of it he's a well trained and well conditioned agility dog. So I imagine he's had the conditioning of his body to take the work and would be less likely to have injuries. You have to remember you work in a field of dogs that have accidents and injuries, it's the majority of what you see of the full population of pets and it's only a very small percentage of well conditioned fit dogs/cats that have injuries like that!

I think this video is a breath of fresh air from the beefed up, over weight, poor health staffies we usually see in this country. It's a beautiful animal and should be used to it's full potential like this! He's absolutely loving it! Tis a shame more staffie owners don't condition their dogs to be like this!

It is great to see!

my dog chased a squirrel up a slightly slanted tree the other day, he stopped about 20ft up and my heart was in my mouth wondering if he was going to jump down as there was a ditch lined with a brick wall underneath, he managed to scrabble down then jumped the last bit, I do agility with him, but I was quite scared he was going to hurt himself!

I wasn't being negative! I think it's amazing but I was sat on the edge of my seat. Feel the same when I see human free runners. Part of the reason why it's such a great thing to watch!
