    I used to have a basenji who would chase a plastic bag I tied to a "wand" around the yard. He seemed really in to the "bunny" so I took him to a couple of lure coursing events in central FL. It was wonderful to see the dogs running and so hard to hold my boy back from joining them. At the end of the day, we were able to do a straight out and back run to see how he would do, and he was great. Not long after, 2 guys that I placed a basenji with rigged up a reversing motor and set up a very small "lure course" in their back yard! There were about 12 of us there with basenjis and we let them chase the bunny one or two at a time. It was great fun. You do have to be careful not to run them too young, or too hard without conditioning. My current basenji gets to run like crazy at the dog park (it's huge and everyone is very impressed at his speed and agility) and at the baseball field (when it's not locked up). Slents: I loved your video! Thanks for posting it. I hope you eventually get to attend a lure coursing event in person - it really is something to see!

    @Janneke: I've recently heared that the Dutch Basenji Club bought a lure coursing machine. Now they only need to organise some events…... (and find a field etc..) yes they bought one, but have no field , so what is the use of that? they say they are not depending on third parties anymore but that is not truth since they still dont have their own field :confused::D so it is still more easy to train with the allready existing coursingclubs ( like Leek ) p.s.: when can i see all the nice pictures of the coursing that Job made? :-)

    @Kananga: Hehe, Buana looks like he's trying to keep his paws clean. He really wanted to hold onto it but knew it would get his paws all dirty. How often do you feed them raw food like that? I've been thinking about doing that with my B every once and awhile. Well, raw like a fish or a pigs nose/ear or someting similair we give them once in a while. When we see someting that looks really fresh and delicious (fin the B's eyes of course) we'll take it. We bought the last tima some baby chickens but they didn't eat that.. (it's to furry I think) Snake food like frozen mice or rats (healthy and especially for food, not wild rodents!!) the love it.. Here in holland you can't let them eat road kill, it's often poisened or sick. @AndrewnShango: Oh, I am just in love with Chafuko! He's awesome!! :D We hope so much, he'll get daddy in a few years when al the health tests are good!!!
