How are Boxers with agility?

As some of you may remember, I have a 2 year old rescue Boxer-pit. She is extremely agile; one of the few dogs that can jump one of the gates at my work, Luke 4 feet ish, without issue. I have been a oying with the idea of doing some beginner agility classes, for fun and bonding.
My main concern is that it will affect her joints negatively. Is agility healthy for Boxers and their joints? Are there any health concerns? O know Boxers are somewhat more prone to hip-dysplasia, would this have an effect?
Also, U don't care, as this would be for fun/bonding, but do Boxers tend to be good at agility, just out of curiosity?

Depends on their build and obviously your pup has the right build. I've got one that jumps with ease and the other is semi=permanently rooted to the ground.

I don't think there's any reason your pup can do agility, it's not super fast paced give it a try. I know there's been a couple of people on here with pups that do agility.
