Neutered dogs and lure or racing competition

Basenji Training
  • Are you allowed to compete (not just train) in racing or lure course with a neutered dog or spayed bitch ?
    In France you are not suppose to, but what about the USA, Finland, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Danemark…...?

  • Yes, absolutely in the US. It is soo much easier..the boys are less likely to follow the girls, and since the girls can't run with they are in season, you can race any time of year.

  • Yeh, they can be neutered and allowed to course in the UK too. We also have the same rule about no btiches in season (which is perfectly sensible)

  • lucky you!

    Take it REALLY REALLY slowly. Be sure to make good things happen when they are together and getting along. It took me 7 months to get my 4 yr old basenji rescue (who has a very high prey drive) to coexist with an old cat. If there is a bad experience, it can set everything back months, so be very careful to set up good experiences and avoid bad experiences.

    @ibi_n_sane: yess it was a great day :D cant wait to see the pictures of Job ( Janneke's boyfriend ) that he made from our dogs too! we only took our galgo and 2 ibizans to the coursing, that gives us all our hands full enough haha the basenjis and our oldest ibizan hound can come the next time, allthough they enjoy the racing track too! ( the settlement of the racing track allows us to take all dogs at the same time and not having our hands full with these 6 haha ) I loved to see Barry (the galgo) run.. he ran beautiful…. :D And yes... I liked Cy and Smitty also... :D
