I compete in the UK and our current maximum jump heights are 30inches for large dogs. The UK Kennel Club is thinking of reducing this to 65cm or 25.6 inches. A lot of competitors are saying that lower jumps lead to more injuries as the dogs run faster and have to make turns at greater speeds. Does anyone know if this is the case? Is there a high incidence of injuries over lower jumps?

if anything, the higher jump heights cause more injuries!! Most jump heights here max out at 24", some others at 26".

A Dog Owner's Prayer
Oh Lord, don't let me once forget how I love my trusty pet.
Help me learn to disregard canine craters in my yard.
Show me how to be a buddy even when my sofa's muddy.
Don't allow my pooch to munch postal carriers for lunch.
Shield my neighbor's cat from view--guide my steps around the doo.
Train me not to curse and scowl when it's puppy's night to howl.
Grant I shan't awake in fear with a cold nose in my ear.
Give me patience without end--help me be my dog's "best friend".
