Most sporting canine sporting events are tailored to the breed. So jumps, obsitcles etc are adjusted to accomidate the dog. High jumps for a lab, smaller jumps for Shih Tzu's. Also, Often, they are not competing against other dogs, mainly reaching certian goals. All the goals are the same (long sit, jump etc.) And don't kid your self sometimes the smaller dogs do better.
When I was training Roxie in Obedience, we did a little Agility. She was learning with dogs that had already completed several training courses. All the dogs where bigger (GSD, Collie, Lab etc) and they we all okay on the small equipment and everyone of them but Roxie (a shih tzu) were insecure on the larger obsitlces. Roxie just flew over them! No problems at all. So definately get involved in one of those venues. You really get more bonding with your dog out of these activites.
