HELENA â On Wednesday morning, 18 trainers and 19 dogs competed in 4-H dog agility at the Last Chance Stampede and Fair, with a variety of dogs competing. While there are certain breeds that are sought after for competitions like this, a handful of competitors showed it really doesn t matter what kind of dog it is, the training and patience put in that makes a difference. Some dogs are more show dogs than agility dogs, but you can do anything with your dog if you just work with them, said Emma Chiti with her five-year-old Newfoundland named Sophie. She s always been such a happy, excited dog. She loves me and I love her and I guess that really helps our bond.
