    Those are some amazing muscle carrying Tillo over that mud..look at him fly.
    As usual the pictures are a dream.
    I actually really love the last pic, when he has his prize in his mouth, well deserved.

    @MacPack:

    Great photos, especially the one leaping over the mud! Tillo looks like one huge muscle!

    That's definitely my favorite pic as well! I was like :eek: when BF showed it to me.. How much energy can you put in NOT getting muddy paws.. :rolleyes: :D

    And he does look muscled, doesn't he? Mommy's skinny boy ;)

    No, it was only training. You don't have to muzzle the dogs then. Some were though. In the Netherlands Basenjis can't compete in LC, unfortunately.. :(

    Great Shots, Janneke!

    I will go to LC Training with Jester and Panda next weekend (June 27th). If Panda understands what to do, I will enter her and Jesty again for Trainings for their Licens. The funny thing here is, that they can get a LC licens, but they cannot compete….. well, Sweden is not that far.... the Training here is organized with the Danish Sighthound Club and will be held on a professional Greyhound Racing Course. Well, I definetely dislike professional abused Dogs, but the Field is very good for that purpose....

    I hope my camera will be fast enough to get a few pics of the first race.....
    If the dogs are racing together they have to wear muzzles here, if they start in a solo race they are allowed to run without the muzzle...

    Regards,
    Esther

    You should come to Slovenia. :) Here, basenjis can compete, but we don't have enough basenjis. :D Only my Tiva and one more female have licence - other owners are not interested in LC. :(

    Btw - fantastic photos! As usually!

    Hmm, the Czech Basenji Club also offers Coursing events for the B's. So maybe it would be a option to find out, if you can get a Licens and then travel to certain events…. I think this is what we are going to do....

    I have done it through Fort William dog club. They have a basic lure which is approx 400 yards in length and is hand (or foot) operated. I would just LOVE to get something organised. Maybe something around Stirling would be good as I think we can all reach there within 75 minutes drive at most. :)

    Hmm, right now I think about maybe purchasing this machine to start with:

    http://www.windhundrennmaschinen.de/en_index.htm Positive fact about this "Bunny in a suitcase" is, that it does not make the typical sounds, which makes the dogs freak out when ever they hear it….

    Because we would have a few options where to train the dogs on a regular basis. Official training coursings are held once a month in our Area (2-3 hours to drive there).
    At these trainings you can get the licens runs for the licens. But, I guess the dogs should be well trained to participate without any damage...

    Janneke, are you going to the BKB Specialty in Dol u Blatn? (CZ) next weekend? There are lots of people which also participate in the Basenji Sports programme. They might be able to help…. Unfortunately I cannot manage to get there this Year due to lots of work to be done. But I will try to get there again next Year. It is really worth the hunge distance....

    No, We won't be there. I'll definitely look in to it, maybe next year then.

    I've recently heared that the Dutch Basenji Club bought a lure coursing machine. Now they only need to organise some events…... (and find a field etc..)

    yes they bought one, but have no field , so what is the use of that? they say they are not depending on third parties anymore but that is not truth since they still dont have their own field :confused::D
    so it is still more easy to train with the allready existing coursingclubs ( like Leek )

    p.s.: when can i see all the nice pictures of the coursing that Job made? :-)

    If I call you names, please note that I am not suffering the Tourette syndrom.

    I used to have a basenji who would chase a plastic bag I tied to a "wand" around the yard. He seemed really in to the "bunny" so I took him to a couple of lure coursing events in central FL. It was wonderful to see the dogs running and so hard to hold my boy back from joining them. At the end of the day, we were able to do a straight out and back run to see how he would do, and he was great. Not long after, 2 guys that I placed a basenji with rigged up a reversing motor and set up a very small "lure course" in their back yard! There were about 12 of us there with basenjis and we let them chase the bunny one or two at a time. It was great fun. You do have to be careful not to run them too young, or too hard without conditioning. My current basenji gets to run like crazy at the dog park (it's huge and everyone is very impressed at his speed and agility) and at the baseball field (when it's not locked up). Slents: I loved your video! Thanks for posting it. I hope you eventually get to attend a lure coursing event in person - it really is something to see!

    @Buddys: Hi Kosuzu! I am replying with just my own experience. I only know a little about the local club I visited. There were no mixed breeds, all sight hounds, and a few hounds, the ridgbacks were real popular in the club, and one either needed papers to prove breed, (i never did get the akc papers promised by the previous owner) or I was told if my boy really looked obvious then he could compete. I am not interested in ribbons or placement really (but running the fastest time is exciting!) First Uzie would go against juniors in a class to ensure no aggression during the run of 750yards. Then go against the others in a duo and trio run. But things won't start up til it gets cooler here in Florida. I have a mini lure courser. It is ok, have to make sure the line doesn't get back washed on the spool though. here is a link, but if you can afford a bigger self winding machine-or get one made….then I think it is better then having to wind it up after each run of 150feet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7nqKp3rQ78&NR=1&feature=endscreen There are others out there too: http://wickedcoursing.com/products.html Good Luck! have fun!!! Thanks for the info and the link. I am thinking of getting the Lure Baby from Wicked Coursing. The only thing I have to consider is that the States has 110volt and Australia has 240volt. I think I need some kind of power converter and plug adapter. I will do some more research on that.

    @Elysium: Looks like fun :D Sorry - just saw it now :) We had our first lure coursing training last month at Tuettleben. I also have a video of Thabo, but didn't put it on youtube, yet. btw: Tomorrow is the last day to register for the track-race at Huenstetten… ;) I already sent the entry form to Noel! We'll arrive on Sat, hopefully just on time for the sweepstakes! :)
