Well, it does sound like you are doing the best. This is just a forum and the info given and then taken into action on your part may be miles away because they (we) are not living right there…. Just keep up the best that you are doing. Wish you all the best....it can be frustrating beyond what we would understand because the situation you have with Basil is similar BUT WAAAAY different then we ever had;;;;we never had Basil!!!!!!!!! I am (we are?) behind you and wish you good luck. It is a handful. Knowing you get on the forum to vent is why it exists I guess....Take the info and apply it as best you can before the behaviorist or trainer gets involved. Remember, dogs, even Basenjis can learn something all over again with the correct input-HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kudos!!!:)
Lure Coursing in KY? Can crosses do it?
-
I would love to try p-dog on lure coursing, as she is very fast and agile and likes to chase things
Are there any clubs/ meetings I could go to in Kentucky? Can cross breeds do it, or only purebreds?
Thanks! -
AKC just launched the "Coursing Ability" test for non-sighthounds. It says the Canine Partners program is eligible so that means mixed breeds can compete. You will just have to find a local club that is participating.

If the club holds practices, you could run your dog then. Some clubs have practices after the trial on Saturday but it is dependent upon time, weather, equipment, etc. The clubs usually charge a small amount for a practice run.

I believe bluegrass coursing club is haveing the CAT in Calhoun Ga at the end of Feb. That or OKIGO in Ohio would be your closest AKC clubs for the test as they have not been coursing in KY the last couple yrs. I typically drive 6-12 hours for any lure coursing events, they are never nearby.

We took Mojo to his first lure coursing trial on Saturday! He absolutely loved it and did an amazing job!!!! Check him out on youtube
