Anyone ever coursed at…

Basenji Training
  • The Griswold CT site? It's a little less than an hour and a half from where I live and seems to be the only new England area to course…next event is June and I'd like to go but want to know more about the site!

  • What do I need to bring with me for Oakleys first lure run? Does he need a slip lead??

  • If you have one bring it, the club should have blankets and leads for people to borrow for their first event. If this is asfa, you will need to turn in a copy of his registration papers with the first time entry. If AKC, you dont need it. If he has never had a certification run, or qualification run with another dog, then all you can run is singles or a practice run until you have that run completed.

  • It will be AKC run, unfortunately there are ony one or two ASFA Scheduled trials near us for the year…and hes only attended practices so he will have to run singles...so how does that work, is it one judged single run to qualify?

  • Have you checked the premium to see that singles are offered? as its an optional stake for AKC, most of the clubs around here do not offer it yet. You can always enter him in a JC run if singles are not offered and JC's are. Singles are just scored against themselves, there are no points awarded for singles in AKC. JCs are usually either before or after a trial and not always offered on both days.

  • http://www.nerrc.org/ According to the premium there are no singles, however Sat is tests/cert runs and fun runs for both AKC and ASFA, so that would be a good time to get in some runs and maybe get certified to run with others in one sport or the other. You would be responsible for finding another dog to certify with, not sure if any basenjis run at that site, I don't recall there being many when I lived near there. I would think the CLASS ASFA trials in NY are as close for you as this one. I know they have events over labor day each year.

  • What does it take to get a JC title? That's always the trouble is findin another basenji that wants to course in New England…although my breeder said she knew someone who could help me learn the ropes, perhaps I can run oak with one of her dogs...either way, fun runs will be good for him.... He will be so excited to go

  • to earn a JC you run a two JC trials, which are just a single run, by yourself. You could run Sat and Sun and potentially earn a JC. Running JC is a good way to learn.

    Normally the clubs have practices after the Saturday trials. Unfortunately none of the clubs in our area have separate practice days. You might also think about going to some of the lira meets for straight run practices. The schedule is at lgra.org

    There are events in May, June, Aug and Oct that I know of, may be able to make the June events too if my whippet girl goes in season early and is ready to run by then. Do do more coursing than racing, looking at the CKC Coursing events only at this time as I want to be able to run both the basenjis and whippets.

    @ComicDom1: Kelli, Miranda and I are interested in Lure Coursing also. We are located in IL so we will be looking here and in the surrounding states for events. ComicDom1 Jason If you are not far from the WI border, the BCOSW club is having a coursing fundraising event at Lurecoursing Fanatics on May 9th in Somers, WI. It's fenced in and it's just for fun and open to any breed. $5 for one run, $8 for two. I'm bringing Zoni so she can do a puppy run or two. The info for the ASFA field trial in Belvidere, IL is also on the BCOSW website. http://www.bcosw.org/ (go to the events page)

    How fun! WTG Willy! I wish I had time to get Duke into this or agility of sorts. I don't have any time, but I know he'd make me proud like your Willy.

    Not quite, he still needs 5 more points towards his AKC field championship but will have an opportunity at those in March.
