    Congratulations! I'll see if Jozie is interested now that she is grown up. She will run a bag on a fishing line until her tongue hangs out so hopefully she will transfer that to actual coursing. Post on the gabasenji list and see if any of those folks will give it a go. :)

    Practice runs Basenji 1 and 2 are Lola and Riley

    Middle column 2/3 way down are the Zip and Booger's prelim and final runs.

    My favorite ones by far are of Lola. Who knew she was so long?!?

    You can take them to practice at any age… in fact it is the perfect time to "peak" their interest in coursing the "bunny"... I would take mine as young as 10 to 12 wks... and let them just run up and down a short straight away chasing the bunny....

    Thanksgiving weekend there is supposed to be some coursing and racing events in Southern Cal. I think the coursing is at Prado Park and the is LGRA racing on the Saturday is in Orange. I will be down to visit the pups and we plan to take the dogs to course and race so they are nice and tired when we go over to visit puppies. So if you bring your out to practice let me know and we will look for you.

    We didn't get involved until this summer, when Booger was over a year old & Lola was only about 6 months old. We went to a practice & they both enjoyed it, but Lola is the one who really seems to LOVE it! She goes every time Booger goes, both to practices & trials (all the trials we have been to have practice, time allowing). This past weekend we ran her on a full 900 yard course (she's almost 11 months old), and she really enjoyed it. Practice is also the best time to learn to use a sliplead. Its not hard, but takes time a couple of tries to get the hang of it. So definitely get yours out to practice. Its so much fun!!! And by the time they are a year & can participate in trials, they will know what's going on & you will, too.

    This coming weekend there is LGRA and NOTRA in Orange County. My mom has the information. I think there is also some racing in December in Orange County. Don't know what the show schedule looks like or if these conflict with any. I do know this time of year is the racing season in So Cal since the parks are available.

    @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)

    Yay glad to see some more local interest! As far as training, there is a group called SONG (Sighthounds of North Georgia) that does informal practices once a month or so depending on man power & weather. These practices are a great way to introduce a new dog to the lure. However, for most dogs its an instinctual thing & they don't need much training. Lola & Callie both caught on to it their first time. I just let them both watch other dogs doing it first, then let them go & they did their thing. Website for SONG: http://www.nghounds.info/index_files/Page430.htm It doesn't get updated frequently, but go to the lure coursing practice tab, scroll to the bottom & there are instructions to get on the e-mail list for upcoming practices. Hope to see you lure coursing soon!

    @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. :)
