  • Yesterday we went coursing. Tillo just loves that game! :D

    Tillo's first course:

    Got it!!

    Second course, together with Isha, a basenji girl :) Tillo looked huge next to her.. gg.. Tillo does have to loose a pound or two.. Working on it..

    Tillo wondering who the F* is running next to him..

    Almost at the finish. Isha was already there, because she decided that girls don't have to run the whole course.. :rolleyes:

    After the run :)

  • Those are great shots! Looks like Tillo loves coursing.

  • Great pics. I didn't realize Tillo was such a tall boy.

    You mentioned that Isha cut the course short. I read that that's one of the problems when running a Basenji multiple times on the same course….they remember where the 'bunny' was previously sighted and cut the course to wait and intercept. Have you seen or experienced this?

    They change the course after the first run, so they can't remember how to run. The dogs do know that the lure won't leave the field.. And sometimes they think they can 'outsmart' the lure, but 50 % of the time they're wrong :D There is an Azawakh that runs in front of the lure.. Pretty funny to watch :D

    In this case Isha just stopped, turned around and ran to her owner :D Like she was saying: '500 m is just enough for me' :rolleyes:

  • Thanks for the info, Janneke. BTW, Tillo looks great, just a sturdy boy–or as I say with my substantial female, formidable.:D

  • Great pics, Tillo looks as if he was worried there for a minute that Isha was catching him up :D

  • Great pictures and commets too. I love th eone of them running along side..full fledged race..

  • Looks like they had a great time.

  • Looks like fun. My Bs would love to do that. It is instinct or must they be trained?

    @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.

    Okay, clearly you knew Kipawa was Scarlett's brother. Well to both of you, Olive (formerly Fina) just left after spending the day here playing with Lyric (formerly Kiki). Her mom and dad had dinner with us while the dogs played and played and played. Olive is adorable as well, but then how could she not be. And still small but filling out, Olive looks just like her daddy Sober. Hug both Scarlett and Kipawa for us and so glad you guys hooked up here. Therese

    We all love our dogs, be they PB, mixes or maybes…. I think the main thing we all have in common is that we want to learn how to read our dogs so we can be the best humans they can own.
