    Can you believe it? We're actually going to have a practice in MI! lol Just got the word today that practice is on next weekend. Details below. Anyone in the area who's interested in getting into lure coursing, or just wants to let their dog get some exercise, come check it out! I left off Meg's contact info, so if anyone wants to get ahold of her, contact me privately and I'll send it to you. I am hoping to be there for the first couple hours, we'll see how flexible work is. So I can help folks learn the ropes and what to do.

    Hope to see a few of you there!

    MGA (Michigan Gazehound Association) is offering lure coursing practice-not sure if we will have an ASFA judge present for pre-certs
    April 26, 2009 Sunday starting at around 10 am we will have practice in Stockbridge MI-
    We will be offering lure coursing practice for any breed/mix canine- with a course laid out for about 550 yards–if you have a young/new dog we can do shorter distances.
    The field is not entirely fenced but surrounded by woods and other fields-
    There is well water available but bring your own shade-
    Cost $2 per run and we need you to sign a waiver for liability stuff-
    If you have mapquest.com put in my address
    4700 Swan Rd
    Stockbridge, MI 49285
    and we will be about an 1/8 of a mile farther east on the left -just past the barn close to the road-
    It is my Aunt Judy's farm but she doesn't live there she rented out the house--

    Coming from Detroit take 96 west to exit 122 (Webberville/Stockbridge) M52-
    go south (left) about ten miles past the church to Swan rd turn left (east) approx 1 mile see directions above

    coming from Ann Arbor take 94 west to the Chelsea exit turn north on M52 go thur Stockbridge and we are another 6 miles north on M52 and make a right on Swan (huge white cattle barn on your left)--see directions above

    @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)

    @YodelDogs: I am eager to meet you guys also but things just haven't worked out. Will there be a get-together this weekend? I've been talking with Mauigirl, and she'll probably relay this to you later, but I can't do Saturday morning b/c I have to work. I'm free Sunday morning, and we're willing to drive to your area if there is a good park in your area. I don't know if there was a different thread yall were discussing this on… but I can't find it if there was.

    @Sunny: At what age is the best time to start lure coursing ?? And is there a course in oklahoma ?? Ide love to get Sandie into something like that, if she is interested… Sunny, You can start very short practices with puppies but you can't actually enter a trial until a dog is at least a year old. Coursing is available in Oklahoma. Your best bet is to contact Richard Stilwell. Richard and his wife Linda have been involved with lure coursing Basenjis for a long time and they can get you started in your area. Send me a private message for Richard email My best wishes. :)
