The thing is, is that even if I do find an agility course around my area, it seems these days that only purebreds are allowed to do the activity.

I live near the Philly area, so if anyone knows of a place, that would be great. My 2 year old pup is a cattle dog/shepherd mix and I think he would do well either practicing herding or doing an agility course. He follows directions so well and I'd like to give him a chance.

Let me know if you know any places! Thanks.

Only AKC prohibits mixed breeds. IN Pa there are a LOT of agility clubs and many of them also promote USDAA, NADAC, CPE, TDAA and UKC. All of these other organizations are open to mix breeds in agility.
