Sscompany, hope you don't mind me asking, but as you've mentioned seeign tripod dogs in agility. Do they cope if their front leg is missing? I'm just thinking that with fast turns and stuff, that they might lose their balance. There's a tripod dog (lab or labx) running in flyball at the moment and he copes just fine and is fairly fast. Choccy I guess will be even more used to 3 legs as he has never been able to use his deformed leg and will be better off without it.

Hhhmmmm..more food for thought.

Yes your right it poss may be a bit more of a problem in Agility as it is his front leg!? but there is still plenty he could do, bless him.  :luv:  I just used this example to show that tripods can cope perfectly well with the loss of a leg.  ;)

Pauline, I found a couple of videos on youtube of dogs with 3 legs (front amputation) doing agility and the news article is on a 3 legged dog (again front leg) doing flyball
