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.
Kobey trying coursing…

Here is Kobey with his first real try at a practice with coursing.. I think he will like it….

Great action shots! What kind of camera did you use?

Was not my pictures… but someone there that did them...
-
Honestly also, we have people that can do much better shots…..
-
I thought you ran them with a muzzle on them?
-
Great shots Pat!!!
I think it was just one of hers she runs with a muzzle

I do, this was his very first practice ever for the full course, so I wanted to see first what his focus was by himself….. I take much time with practice, putting muzzles on, practice with other Basenjis.... so this was the baby step..

I run all of mine now with muzzles, however for just practice and if running by themselves I might leave it off every now and again…

I thought you had said you did. The last time we ran Willy we had one on him. Didn't seem to bother him a bit.

Like I said, I do run with muzzles, again this was just his first practice and it was more important to me with him running without a muzzle to see his level of interest… I doubt seeing him run that it will bother him at all either... so next time we will put one on... Typically a dog keen on the lure, it will not bother them... However, had he "not" been totally interested I would approach things differently....
-
I like the second photo and how interested he is on the "bunny", very cool.
-
I would like to know how to get started in the sport. I don't even know who to ask if there is any here in the Ft. Hood, Texas area… Any suggestions?

Pat, the photos aren't up now.
I would love to see them. -
New photos from this weekend should be up soon. Hopefully by the end of the day.
