Lure Coursing Video & Pictures

Basenji Training
  • Terry of Ottaray Hounds attended last weekend's ASFA trial in Calhoun, GA with her girl Claire. It was fun meeting Claire, who looks like she could be littermates with Lola!
    Terry added pictures of the weekend to her website, and also put together a video! Enjoy!

    The pictures take a bit to load, and the basenji pictures start about 2/3 of the way down with Beck in a yellow coat. Then shots of Zip & Clair posing with their ribbons, Riley posing in his red coats, me & Lola, a couple of Booger & then shots of Lola meeting Claire & Bonmi.

    The first run is Riley (MauiGirl), followed by another Tri, Beck from Chicago. The third run is Booger… you can see he didn't finish. He just kind of lost interest & ran off. In the next scene, MauiGirl tells Booger we're sending him to a glue factory in China. :D Then the next several runs are Zip's Best in Field runs with stills of her posing with her ribbons!! There are also some stills of Clair, Lola meeting Clair & Liz posing with some IGs. Very cute video!

  • LOL @ glue factory. Nuh-uh.

    I didn't realize that Terry took videos the whole weekend…awesome! I think the solo runs turned out great, she could zoom in more. I sure wish that BIF run didn't have to be stopped like twice....In case you can't tell, our little Zip was in front of the pharoah and whippet for about 5 seconds in the first part! Haha!

    She has now run with a whippet, saluki, greyhound, pharoah hound....basenji, well duh.....I think that's about it.

    Did she run with a Rhodesian? Or did it run BIF, but not with her?

  • Yup, there were two "flights" ( I think that's what they call them).

  • Looks like you guys had a great time!

    @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

    @seko: The afghan won over Uku (b/w) and over Valhi (r/w) she got a fright at the begining at the hairy giant dog behind her, stopped for a bit then ran again really well untill the afghan decided to play with her and she couldn't finish properly; the afghan didn't even get disqualified for annoying my dog and got better note :mad: That doesn't sound very fair:mad:

    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.

    @lvoss: In order to get a JC your dog does not need to run with another dog. A JC is earned by your dog running the course by itself. It must pass 2 JC tests to earn the title. To certify a dog for ASFA the dog must run with another dog and show that it will not interfere. D'oh! I got the two mixed up :) But that's what I meant, lol…. Most of the lure trials we attended were ASFA trials....I think we did do practice runs at ONE AKC trial, but Jibini was less than 1 year old so I am pretty sure thats why we never did a JC "qualifying" run. I'm tempted to get back into it now that I have my own "pair".....but it always seems money is an issue that makes a 300-400 mile weekend jaunt a bit out of reach!! I also found it disheartening that there were so few Basenjis entered in Florida lure courses, and among those I met, nobody had dogs who could run with a strange dog. However, I enjoyed the time I spent at Lure trials and letting Jibini run....it was fun, even if we didn't get any "alphabet soup" for Jibini's name!!! Defintely an experience well worth it :)
