This weekend is the NLCC in Cat spring, next weekend is in Decatur but its a terrrible field. My dogs got totally shreded there on the cut cotton plants growing there so we won't be back. They usually have events in Dec at Cat springs and Waller, but were overcome by othere events this yr so the clubs all combined events at the beginning of the month instead. There will be coursing at Hutto the first and last weekend in March. McKinney has an event scheduled for Jan that we will attend with our 4 if the weather is good enought to make the 8 hour drive. We will mostly be doing events in north TX this yr vs going to the Houston area. Just too expensive to drive 12 hours each way when there are enough events closer to home. 90% of the events are AKC now, the clubs have stopped doing ASFA for the most part as entries were so low.
Luring in Australia?

Hi All,
Once my pup is old enough id love to introduce her to lure coursing, however ive had a little bit of trouble finding any clubs that do that in my hometown Townsville.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any aus clubs that could point me in the right directions
Thanks

Okay, this is not about luring. When you mentioned Townsville I just sighed. It's a dream of mine to visit that area of Queensland.

lol
Are you going to visit Queensland one day? Townsville isnt too bad. Although we usually get called "Brownsvile" in the summer months as well the grass isnt very green LOL -
The next big trip I want to do is Queensland - the coast from Brisbane travelling north. Our last big trip was the Cook Islands and south Pacific. A lovely trip. But I didn't see any ****atoos on that trip (we own two ****atoos) so I still need to get to Australia.

Thinking outside the square.
I see there are Grayhound races in your town.
Maybe get in touch and see if they have a training facility you could access.
Or a trainer may have a track at home you could use.Plan B, start a group:eek:

he he he… ahh you can have all the ****atoos you want when you visit - take them home with you
i have one that drives me NUTS (he/she is a wild one).... At ungodly hours he sits high in a tree and skreaches his lungs out... it echos around the bedroom he is that loud. I would surely love to shoot him (lol) for disturbing my sleep but they are lovely animals otherwise -

yeah i got in contact with one of the local agility/dog sports group (TOADs). They dont run lure coursing and confirmed there wasnt a coursing group in Townsville. However, never thought of contacting the grayhound group so thats worth following up. Thanks for the idea
