This weekend is the NLCC in Cat spring, next weekend is in Decatur but its a terrrible field. My dogs got totally shreded there on the cut cotton plants growing there so we won't be back. They usually have events in Dec at Cat springs and Waller, but were overcome by othere events this yr so the clubs all combined events at the beginning of the month instead. There will be coursing at Hutto the first and last weekend in March. McKinney has an event scheduled for Jan that we will attend with our 4 if the weather is good enought to make the 8 hour drive. We will mostly be doing events in north TX this yr vs going to the Houston area. Just too expensive to drive 12 hours each way when there are enough events closer to home. 90% of the events are AKC now, the clubs have stopped doing ASFA for the most part as entries were so low.
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.
