Anyone ever coursed at…


  • The Griswold CT site? It's a little less than an hour and a half from where I live and seems to be the only new England area to course…next event is June and I'd like to go but want to know more about the site!


  • What do I need to bring with me for Oakleys first lure run? Does he need a slip lead??


  • If you have one bring it, the club should have blankets and leads for people to borrow for their first event. If this is asfa, you will need to turn in a copy of his registration papers with the first time entry. If AKC, you dont need it. If he has never had a certification run, or qualification run with another dog, then all you can run is singles or a practice run until you have that run completed.


  • It will be AKC run, unfortunately there are ony one or two ASFA Scheduled trials near us for the year…and hes only attended practices so he will have to run singles...so how does that work, is it one judged single run to qualify?


  • Have you checked the premium to see that singles are offered? as its an optional stake for AKC, most of the clubs around here do not offer it yet. You can always enter him in a JC run if singles are not offered and JC's are. Singles are just scored against themselves, there are no points awarded for singles in AKC. JCs are usually either before or after a trial and not always offered on both days.


  • http://www.nerrc.org/ According to the premium there are no singles, however Sat is tests/cert runs and fun runs for both AKC and ASFA, so that would be a good time to get in some runs and maybe get certified to run with others in one sport or the other. You would be responsible for finding another dog to certify with, not sure if any basenjis run at that site, I don't recall there being many when I lived near there. I would think the CLASS ASFA trials in NY are as close for you as this one. I know they have events over labor day each year.


  • What does it take to get a JC title? That's always the trouble is findin another basenji that wants to course in New England…although my breeder said she knew someone who could help me learn the ropes, perhaps I can run oak with one of her dogs...either way, fun runs will be good for him.... He will be so excited to go


  • to earn a JC you run a two JC trials, which are just a single run, by yourself. You could run Sat and Sun and potentially earn a JC. Running JC is a good way to learn.

    Well, that was a bust, turns out the course wasn't fully enclosed alone, too many other dogs to even pay attention. She did have a blast with all the other happy dogs! So it was still a fun outing!

    There are events in May, June, Aug and Oct that I know of, may be able to make the June events too if my whippet girl goes in season early and is ready to run by then. Do do more coursing than racing, looking at the CKC Coursing events only at this time as I want to be able to run both the basenjis and whippets.

    @tanza: I know people that have tried it (the spray) it doesn't work unless by accident… and you know, you need to stand in the rain with Dallas...:p Been there done that with many a puppy Oh believe me, I was soaked! I was standing right in the rain (during the most downpour of course) in the middle of the grassy area he goes in but he just would NOT go! I even kept bribing him with treats to stay in the grass & go but he kept trying to back out of his collar to get his paws on the concrete vs. in the wet grass. I know when the sprinklers go off it's a bit more a challenge to get him to go in the grass but he manages. This is actually the first time he's been out when it's still be raining down.
