    for Panda and Jester are on the plan for tonight. Please keep your fingers crossed, that they do what they are supposed to do and do not come to other Basenji-ideas….

    Little Shakti is also going to have a Baby-run. Which means not more than 100 or 200 m in a slow speed to test, if she is interested (her mother does not like coursing, she thinks its boring).

    :rolleyes:;)

    Regards,

    Esther

    I try my best, but as Panda and Jester are supposed to run as a team as well, I do not know, if Andreas will be able to start both of them at the same time and I guess they will not allow anybody else besides us to touch them in such an exciting moment….

    They did sooo well….

    Everything went perfect and they behaved really good. Even little Shakti did her very best to jump through the high grass and get the "rabbit".

    Pictures (watch out, it is really a lot of them) are to be found in our galleries with yesterdays date.... http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#59.0 http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#58.0

    Jester with the blue muzzle, Panda with the orange muzzle and Shakti "bare naked".

    Do you use slip leads in Europe when running your dogs?

    some do, some don't. I was thinking about a better thing but a thin collar, because there still is a risk that the dog gets hurt for some stupid reason. I have bought some agility lead thing, as a retriever lead. But this does not work that well, if the dog is tackling the prey, so a slip lead would be a good alternative…. I think I can have someone make one or two for me, so maybe we have a new "top seller" soon.
    Specially Denmark is not very used to Coursing events. We do not have regular track racing under FCI regulations as here in DK you can bet on sighthound races. Coursing is quite new here and on August 8th the first national Championship is held. Next Year we hope to participate with the B's in a own coursing section, hopefully...

    Shelley, You are right, the motivation "has" to be there, or it probably won't work. This is the first time I have taken OC with any of my dogs so I am sceptical, but highly motivated…my B will get this done.. My westie, Bogus never even learned how to crate properly...he kept on pooping in the crate and then sleep in it...nothing bothered him, noot even stinking like a dog pile. The crate I used for him was actually so small, after a lot of trials and errors and he still pooped..that is when we gave up. He did great with puppy pads..for peeing, not for pooping, that he did right next to the pad, like it wasn't supposed to get dirty or something..silly dog. He is not with us anymore, he just passed in late march.

    Bring a chair to sit in (as there will be a long waiting period in between runs), a crate for your B to hang out when you aren't running or walking around, snacks, plenty of water for you and your B and you should be all set! I will be in a black Toyota FJ Cruiser so if you see my truck you can park by me.

    @Tayda_Lenny: Lenny actually escaped from a fenced yard yesteday for the first time… scared me to DEATH. Once when I first got him ( he was about 15 weeks old) we were outside w/ leashes and the clip on his collar snapped and he was free. Instead of running after him, I got his attention (miracle) and ran as fast as I could away from him and into the house. He thought I was playing and chased after me. I did the same thing yesterday. He was out of the fence and running around sniffing things and when I got his attention (from about 100 feet away, I did a sort of "human play bow" and then sprinted into the yard. Luckily he chased after me. (Beat me into the yard too... the little monster) . WHEW! and then my heart started beating again. Anyway, just wanted to share that technique. It has worked for me the 2 times I've needed it. Get their attention, and then run in the other direction... I did the same thing with Ruby, the one time she got free when I was walking her and I fell. Worked like a charm :D. It always feels good to outsmart her :D.
