GA lure course practice June 29 CANCELLED

Basenji Meetups & Events
  • I got an email just minutes ago that today's lure coursing practice has been cancelled due to the rain from last night at the field. Our practice is held on a well groomed polo field and we do not risk tearing up the field sideline with automobiles after storms. Go figure, its been bone dry across the state for weeks but let us set up a coursing practice and we get a storm the night before. sighs Oh well we really did need the rain. We'll try again in July.

  • You mean the e-mail sent at 7:08 when practice was at 8??!!?? Haha. We were already in the car. We took a picture of us all parked and set up, dogs in crates with the easy up, chairs and coolers. We'll call it a drill. Thank goodness for Blackberries b/c otherwise we wouldn't have known.

    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.

    Hi, Try CanuckDogs dot com and look under the Prairie tab, then the lure coursing option. Alberta usually has a few events per year. I do not know when they will start again in 2011. Have fun!

    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

    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.
