Lure Coursing in Scotland!!

Basenji Training
  • after our discussions yesterday i have had some success–--the Pedigree Whippet Racing Association holds lure coursing meets in a field next to Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling - sounds pretty central for most of us (bout 1.5 hours away for me) - they meet most sundays, and are happy for us to go along - they did say if there are only a couple of us we can get a chance to try out our dogs.

    Also contacted Sue Rose who organises Deerhound lure coursing - she is at Kinross - again she is very happy for us to go along - they have lots of other breeds who turn up and they try to match size weight for coursing.

    Dates to be confirmed - so Basi/Benkura/Lurkis/Noodle i will be in touch!

  • Great News! :)
    It's probably going to be about a 3 hour drive for me, but I'm still up for it. Noticed that there's a Travelodge at Kinross which could come in handy!
    I work in retail, so I don't get a lot of weekend time off, but I'm actually off this Sunday.

  • This Sunday is my last free Sunday for quite a while (prob Sept). Stirling is about 80 mins drive and Kinross about 3 hours.

  • That's great news:D Must find a house soon! Both places will be local for me.

    @noodle:

  • Will try and get more details incase you all want to go this sunday. I will be down at Kelso - a gundog club are holding an eye testing session ( i missed out getting Tilly done at SKC) -

  • made a wee mistake - its racing most sundays at Blair Drummond - they are having a lure coursing day in August. But we could have a go at the racing surely?

  • Racing sounds good to me!! :)

  • Racing would still be good fun:D

    Normally the clubs have practices after the Saturday trials. Unfortunately none of the clubs in our area have separate practice days. You might also think about going to some of the lira meets for straight run practices. The schedule is at lgra.org

    @ibi_n_sane: yess it was a great day :D cant wait to see the pictures of Job ( Janneke's boyfriend ) that he made from our dogs too! we only took our galgo and 2 ibizans to the coursing, that gives us all our hands full enough haha the basenjis and our oldest ibizan hound can come the next time, allthough they enjoy the racing track too! ( the settlement of the racing track allows us to take all dogs at the same time and not having our hands full with these 6 haha ) I loved to see Barry (the galgo) run.. he ran beautiful…. :D And yes... I liked Cy and Smitty also... :D

    Good for Zahra! Sometimes they just get so excited they just have to pee! But it's great that she went back on the course. Dude has a thing for brindles. His wrestling and racing buddy here at home is our crazy Energizer (you know, she keeps going and going…) brindle Amina. So when he went against a brindle boy in the first heat he charged gleefully over to him at the end - the boy was not impressed! In the second heat he was up against a dark brindle girl who even looks like our Amina. At the end of that one he ran over to her and they took a tour of the field together. He's not aggressive about it, he just wants to play! He totally ignored the reds that were also coursing. Terry
