I’ve seen Bunny leap over the back of our couch from a standstill, hike fifteen miles through the rain once and run like a little demon at the dog park on occasion. Kuster climbed over the baby gate the very first night we had him home at eight weeks old and well, that boy can leap like a dolphin. Blueberry…doesn’t believe in exerting herself. Morgan is athletic, but I haven’t seen her doing anything outstanding.

One day we were walking along on the back side of a strip mall (oh, the things we do for fearful dogs) when Silas politely climbed up the chest-high retaining wall without ever breaking his stride. I was walking along, then there he was on top of the wall. When I got to the other end, he came back down. This is his only “extreme agility” feat. I’ve always counted it as one of my blessings that he’s never realized how high he can jump.

As for mine, Toby and Leah are no where nears that athletic, but I’ve seen Meadow leap a 3 1/2 foot gate from a stand still and I’ve heard she can scale a seven foot one. (Still not as amazing as that dog in the video though!)
