BCOSW Events in Wisconsin for May and June
-
Since it seems like there are fair number of WI folk on this site now I thought I would point out a few things going on in May and June.
LGRA Double Race Meet, May 19th-20th
If you don't race your basenji currently that is okay. There will be an opportunity for some practice fun runs at the end of the day. So if you're curious, you can try your dog out. I'm going to bring my puppy out for a few puppy runs to get him used to the lure.Lure Coursing Fun Day and Fundraiser, June 2nd
If you want to try your dog out on lure coursing, this is the ideal way to do it. The field is completely enclosed plus lots of club members and other dog people around to hang out.Check out our Facebook page at Facebook.com/BCOSW
You can find all events by going to http://www.bcosw.org/ and clicking on "BCOSW Events" on the far left.

This is an event that is being put on by the Illinois Doberman Rescue… I thought I might post it here too for those that like to do coursing for fun :)
Sunday, May 20 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Does your dog like to chase? Here's a great event you can bring your dog to. Lure coursing was originally developed as a training tool for sight hounds, but ALL breeds like to chase a visual lure. Bring your dog to a fully fenced acre to run and chase a lure.
Dogs run one at a time (unless 2 dogs that know each other want to run together). Any dog who is not human aggressive is welcome. Please no retractable leashes. Dogs don't need any special training; any dog that likes to run and chase should enjoy it.
The cost is $5 a run (not tax-deductible). Runs start at 10 a.m.
Professional photography by All Creatures Photography will capture your dog in action! Click here to see September's photos.

UKC has cousing at the premier in MI mid June, and the Gateway nationals in MO at the end of Oct, not too many other UKC opportunites at this time.

Racine is your closest. They have AKC LC the last weekend in June and ASFA the third weekend in August and last weekend in Sept. The next closest would be Leroy and Crown Pt Indiana, there are 3 or 4 events a year at those two locations. We drive 6-12 hours for almost all of our events.

We are coming to Racine next weekend to run three of the basenjis in the LGRA trail. That is always a fun one to try practice runs for new dogs.
