Upcoming ASFA Lure Coursing-GA, TN & TX

Basenji Training
  • Anyone going to these? They are being held this weekend in GA, next weekend in TN (3 days) and the Houston, TX area?

    I would be coursing Arnie, my older male in the FCh stake, although he is eligible for the Veterans stake. You may have seen him course at the National in KY last year in the FCh stake.

  • We will be coursing our two Fch in TN on the weekend only, couldn't get off work. We will be in McKinney Tx the next weekend for ASFA. This weekend we are heading to Shawnee OK for AKC. I have a friend coming to TN next weekend with one Fch and 2 or 3 open. She is going to GA this weekend with them. Sounds like you have better weather in GA than I will have in OK.

  • There will be quite a few Basenji people at the GA trials this weekend including myself. There should be 3-4 FCh and a couple opens, possibly more entries that I don't know of, plus numerous people coming out just to socialize.

  • I wish Ga were closer. We will be doing more AKC than ASFA this yr as thats what the clubs in our area are offering this yr. Maybe we'll be able to get a FC on our whippet as she is the only untitled one left.

  • I'm going!! I have two FCh's. And Carrie (Andrew on the forum) is running Callie, also an FCh. And others as well, like Lisa said.

  • How did you like running in nice warm GA? We only ran one day of AKC in OK as the rain turned real heavy overnight and continued into the morning, none of us wanted to run our whippets on a slick clay hill. See you in TN next weekend with my 2 boys

    I can't really afford to go down there and take time off work, but it is tempting. My club has weight pulls up here though, so if we have some extra money this weekend that's what I'll be doing. lol I wouldn't expect many, if any Basenji people at the Oberlin trial. You're more likely to see a few folks though at the trials in the Dayton area. (Yellow Springs, Fairborn, etc.) There is an ASFA trial south of Detroit the second weekend of October. I'm planning on being there if you want to come? :)

    @seko: The afghan won over Uku (b/w) and over Valhi (r/w) she got a fright at the begining at the hairy giant dog behind her, stopped for a bit then ran again really well untill the afghan decided to play with her and she couldn't finish properly; the afghan didn't even get disqualified for annoying my dog and got better note :mad: That doesn't sound very fair:mad:

    Yay glad to see some more local interest! As far as training, there is a group called SONG (Sighthounds of North Georgia) that does informal practices once a month or so depending on man power & weather. These practices are a great way to introduce a new dog to the lure. However, for most dogs its an instinctual thing & they don't need much training. Lola & Callie both caught on to it their first time. I just let them both watch other dogs doing it first, then let them go & they did their thing. Website for SONG: http://www.nghounds.info/index_files/Page430.htm It doesn't get updated frequently, but go to the lure coursing practice tab, scroll to the bottom & there are instructions to get on the e-mail list for upcoming practices. Hope to see you lure coursing soon!
