Georgia Lure Coursing

Basenji Meetups & Events
  • If you live in middle to north Georgia and you would like to try lure coursing with your Basenji (or other sighthound breed), let me know and I can help you get started. I am a member of a club called Sighthounds of North Georgia which holds coursing practices about once a month and we cater to getting novices a start in the sport.

  • Robyn, I live in Knoxville, Tn and would love to have my mixed basenji do lure coursing. Do you know anyone in this area who participates? I know Chattanooga has a group that just started, but I would love someone closer to Knoxville. I have also discovered that some groups will only let mixed breeds run during practice. That is fine with me, I would like to try it for the fun of it and the exercise it would give my Basenji. Thanks for any info.

  • As far as I can tell, there are only 3 clubs in TN that hold lure coursing events; Chattanooga Kennel Club, Maury County Kennel Club, and Nashville Kennel Club. You can get contact info for these clubs at www.asfa.org and www.akc.org.

    Chances are that your dog will enjoy lure coursing and it is indeed wonderful exercise. Only purebred, registered animals may participate in actual competition but most clubs are pretty friendly about allowing any dog to run in practices.

    My best wishes to you.

    also look at events listed on the CKC web site under lure coursing and on the CASFA site. I know the ontario club runs near niagra falls several times a year.

    We're thinking about having another lure coursing fundraiser in November. It was so much fun this last time. Here is the photo album from the photographer. Lots of different breeds of dogs. http://www.allcreaturesphoto.com/GroupOrg-Events/BCOSW And just to toot my own horn, here is a pic or two of my dogs from the album. Zoni - she's a natural, can't wait to run her for real. She has laser focus on the lure. http://www.allcreaturesphoto.com/GroupOrg-Events/BCOSW/BCSOW-Fundraiser-May-15-2010/BCOSWFundRaiser201005150858/875537175_bhDBE-S.jpg Nemo - can't believe he actually coursed. He's a bit of a goof (and looks like a kangaroo in the pic :) ). I was more thrilled to watch him run than Zoni. He zoned out the second time to sniff some flowers and didn't complete the course. :D http://www.allcreaturesphoto.com/GroupOrg-Events/BCOSW/BCSOW-Fundraiser-May-15-2010/BCOSWFundRaiser201005150856/875536788_UsTCt-L.jpg

    It was a great trial… One of my girls (who lives with Ann Patterson-Hine) is a new Dual Champion with back to back 5pt majors from this weekend.... YEA!!!! She is now DC* Tanza's Almazi Madini,SC,RN,CD,CGC,FCH (aka Crystal). Thanks to her Mom, Ann for putting on the Obedience Titles!!!! And she is loving her new baby B Brother.... Kobey..... Crystal is 6 1/2... and we have been trying to get her lure majors for quite a while... Crystal, while a good runner would beat herself by running the course before it ever started... LOL...
