Need More Basenji's - Lure Coursing in Calhoun GA Thanksgiving Weekend

    Hey everyone, just putting this out there to get more interest in Basenji's lure coursing. I'm of course new to it, so I'm not an expert, but would be great to see more out there.

    Next weekend is an ASFA Region 7 event in Calhoun GA not too far out of Atlanta. (http://www.atlantawhippet.com/). I believe there is another event the first weekend in December too in Calhoun.

    I know of several already attending, but would be great to see more! :cool:

    I have a 1 year old female B that would love to play. Haven’t seen any Bs in this area. I live close to NOVA so if you set up a date I’ll gladly bring her to a dog park!

    It could be a neurological problem. I have noticed it on my elderly Bs especially when they are just standing still. Jennifer

    We're thinking about having another lure coursing fundraiser in November. It was so much fun this last time. Here is the photo album from the photographer. Lots of different breeds of dogs. http://www.allcreaturesphoto.com/GroupOrg-Events/BCOSW And just to toot my own horn, here is a pic or two of my dogs from the album. Zoni - she's a natural, can't wait to run her for real. She has laser focus on the lure. http://www.allcreaturesphoto.com/GroupOrg-Events/BCOSW/BCSOW-Fundraiser-May-15-2010/BCOSWFundRaiser201005150858/875537175_bhDBE-S.jpg Nemo - can't believe he actually coursed. He's a bit of a goof (and looks like a kangaroo in the pic :) ). I was more thrilled to watch him run than Zoni. He zoned out the second time to sniff some flowers and didn't complete the course. :D http://www.allcreaturesphoto.com/GroupOrg-Events/BCOSW/BCSOW-Fundraiser-May-15-2010/BCOSWFundRaiser201005150856/875536788_UsTCt-L.jpg

    @ComicDom1: Well here is the Ironic thing. Many of the people at coursing were the same people at the show and to be honest in our area I could not tell any difference. Everyone was very friendly and very interested in getting to know others. Maybe its because I have snow on the roof! Of course do not forget I do have testosterone poisoning. Jason Yep, the basenji people at the coursing event were all at the Chicago specialty with the except of 2 or 3. There are only a few that I can think of that don't do both showing and coursing. They are all very friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to the club fun day in July.

    As far as I can tell, there are only 3 clubs in TN that hold lure coursing events; Chattanooga Kennel Club, Maury County Kennel Club, and Nashville Kennel Club. You can get contact info for these clubs at www.asfa.org and www.akc.org. Chances are that your dog will enjoy lure coursing and it is indeed wonderful exercise. Only purebred, registered animals may participate in actual competition but most clubs are pretty friendly about allowing any dog to run in practices. My best wishes to you.
