5) japanease spitz,
6) sweedish vullhund.

german spitz (imo)

Jap Spitz probably too.  both breeds have a square build no extremes of weight or build, no breathing problems etc.

The Vallhund cou,d be quite good but won't be as fast with shorter legs.  the Macnesteer may be a bit too sensitive to enjoy Agility from the ohes I have met.  any floppy eared breed may be disadvantaged with eharing commands as well.

I'd go for a cocker of working breeding. They're relatively easily available, very fast, responsive and trainable (for a competent trainer).

I was going to suggest a working cocker too-several of my working cocker's litter mates enjoy it and do well at it!

my friend has a working cocker that is going to do it (just a baby at the mo) hes ever so long though so cant wait for him to snake through the weaves

Working cocker spaniel would be best IMO

There are some very nice german + jap spitzs about too but i've seen quite a few slow ones.
