Coursing Brag

Basenji Training
  • lvossL

    This weekend there was AKC lure coursing in Gilroy, CA hosted by the Bay Area Rhodesian Ridgeback Club. The basenji entry was kind of small, 2 Opens, 5 Specials, 2 Vets on Saturday and 1 Open, 4 Veterans, 2 Vets on Sunday.

    On Saturday, Sophie, won the Open Stake, my mom's boy Cole took 3rd place in Specials, and Nicky won the Vet Stake. Sophie won Best of Breed for a 5 point major! On Sunday, Sophie was the only Open and got a the high score of the day, Cole won Specials, and Rally won Vets. Sophie took BOB again for her second 5 point major! This brings Sophie to 11 points and both her majors for her AKC field championship.

    We also learned that Rio thinks that flat well manicured fields are boring. She had a couple of good runs but she just doesn't have the enthusiasm on the flat fields that she has on the natural fields.

    Normally the clubs have practices after the Saturday trials. Unfortunately none of the clubs in our area have separate practice days. You might also think about going to some of the lira meets for straight run practices. The schedule is at lgra.org

    There are events in May, June, Aug and Oct that I know of, may be able to make the June events too if my whippet girl goes in season early and is ready to run by then. Do do more coursing than racing, looking at the CKC Coursing events only at this time as I want to be able to run both the basenjis and whippets.

    This coming weekend there is LGRA and NOTRA in Orange County. My mom has the information. I think there is also some racing in December in Orange County. Don't know what the show schedule looks like or if these conflict with any. I do know this time of year is the racing season in So Cal since the parks are available.
