Lure coursing
-
I had heard of the beagle racing in Scotland. We used to run Afghan racing in our area, they absolutely loved it, but unfortunately the premises were sold and the new owners wanted to keep it private. I know Jane G used to go somewhere with hers though.
We do have lure coursing about an hour from us at Newbury but I don't think it is very secure fencing wise. I do hope you get to run yours when you come back, we will definitely want pics!
That is one of the problems finding a secure place to do the coursing:rolleyes:
Yes I'm looking forward to doing the racing, though the season will be over by the time we get moved back but it starts again in March so won't have long to wait. Will take lots of pics:D -
Love the pictures, fantastic! :D
A friend of mine has an Afghan he does lure coursing with - just for fun. They do it on a greyhound racing track. Apparently they have all sorts of breeds turn up - even little terriers. I hope to give it a go with Maya in the future, she would love it :D

Those are some amazing muscle carrying Tillo over that mud..look at him fly.
As usual the pictures are a dream.
I actually really love the last pic, when he has his prize in his mouth, well deserved. -
Great photos, especially the one leaping over the mud! Tillo looks like one huge muscle!
That's definitely my favorite pic as well! I was like :eek: when BF showed it to me.. How much energy can you put in NOT getting muddy paws.. :rolleyes: :D
And he does look muscled, doesn't he? Mommy's skinny boy ;)

Great Shots, Janneke!
I will go to LC Training with Jester and Panda next weekend (June 27th). If Panda understands what to do, I will enter her and Jesty again for Trainings for their Licens. The funny thing here is, that they can get a LC licens, but they cannot compete….. well, Sweden is not that far.... the Training here is organized with the Danish Sighthound Club and will be held on a professional Greyhound Racing Course. Well, I definetely dislike professional abused Dogs, but the Field is very good for that purpose....
I hope my camera will be fast enough to get a few pics of the first race.....
If the dogs are racing together they have to wear muzzles here, if they start in a solo race they are allowed to run without the muzzle...Regards,

Noodle/Basi/Benkura - i would definately be interested in lure coursing up here in scotland - i will speak to some whippet friends of mine to find out more - maybe we could arrange a Basenji beginners day?

Sounds good to me, I'd deffo be up for it if we could organise something!:)

You should come to Slovenia. :) Here, basenjis can compete, but we don't have enough basenjis. :D Only my Tiva and one more female have licence - other owners are not interested in LC. :(
Btw - fantastic photos! As usually!
Really? Then we should move to Slovenia!!

Count me in too:D when I get there that is lol
Also Lukris might be interested when her boy is old enough.

I have done it through Fort William dog club. They have a basic lure which is approx 400 yards in length and is hand (or foot) operated. I would just LOVE to get something organised. Maybe something around Stirling would be good as I think we can all reach there within 75 minutes drive at most. :)

Hmm, right now I think about maybe purchasing this machine to start with:
http://www.windhundrennmaschinen.de/en_index.htm Positive fact about this "Bunny in a suitcase" is, that it does not make the typical sounds, which makes the dogs freak out when ever they hear it….
Because we would have a few options where to train the dogs on a regular basis. Official training coursings are held once a month in our Area (2-3 hours to drive there).
At these trainings you can get the licens runs for the licens. But, I guess the dogs should be well trained to participate without any damage...Regards,
