Thanks everyone for your comments. I feel assured what the breeder said was sound-That the dog can do both lure and show providing they want to. So since I really want to lure how soon should I start with the pup?

Like in the sporting dogs , field dogs are often different than the confirmation dogs. I want a basenji that can course first , confirmation maybe. The breeder (who wants me to show) said no big difference and most dogs can do both. Any coments

My girl has a probably clear test by OFA. I am taking her to the vet in a couple days because she is loosing weight and her coat is poor. she is not excessively thirsty or acting like she is sick. Can the genetic test be wrong? Has any one heard of this? Any thoughts. thank you

do you do anything at home to practice, like drag aroung a plastic bag?

Hello from Reno Nevada. I am interested in lure, been to one trial and practiced with my girl 3 times. Besides going to trial to practice do people get together, or is there things I can do at home (besides buying my own equipment). Thanks.

Thankyou Pat. This is weird but I just e-mailed you about lure coursing. Check your e-mail.

My girl is seven months old now. When might I expect her first heat?
