Re: What height of jump is for Midi dogs?

Found this on agilitybits.co.uk (source below):

If you're making your own agility equipment here's a few specifications that might be useful. They're effective from 1st January 2006. I haven't included things like water jumps and wishing wells. Oh come on. Are you really going to make these for your back garden?
If you're new to agility you'll need to know what size your dog is. Please don't measure the waistline. It's the height of the dog at the withers that counts.
More specifications can be found in the Kennel Club Agility and Flyball rule book.

Dog's Height Top of Page
Large dogs are those measuring over 43cm at the withers.
Medium dogs measure over 35cm and 43cm and under.
Small dogs measure 35cm and under at the withers.


The Height of the Jumps
Large dogs: Between 55cm and 65cm.
Medium dogs: Between 35cm and 45cm.
Small Dogs: Between 25cm and 35cm.

The width of the jump should be no less than 4ft.

Hope that helps
