Coursing at the Beach of R?m? (DK)

    We visited some friends who spent their hollidays at the isle of Roemoe. They did bring their own "bunny in a suitcase" and we had a little free coursing at the beach. Lots of non-Basenjis and only one little Panda to have fun with all those long legged dogs… http://www.seelenfreund.dk/gallery/index.html#63.0

    A Basenji does not obey to orders, it may listen to proposals.

    What is the breed? Are they Sloughi? They look like greyhounds but more delicate.

    Great photos, looks like everyone had fun!

    Yes, they are Azawakh and I have to admit, that I am 100% sure, that one of them will join our pack one day! They are soooo Basenji…. ;-) but they do have high protection skills and are quite territorial as well.

    But we were also joined by 2 big poodles, 2 Podenco (mixes), 1 maybe Azawakh-mix and of course Vega as a representative for Galgo Espanol. Oh, and I do not want to "hide" the Labrador....

    @ Janneke: In case you would like to know more about the various breeders, let me know, I might be able to refer you to somebody who is really into the breed and knows almost all the breeders and their dogs. She is the breed representative in the German Sighthound Assc. and is always very happy to help "Newbies".....

    Regards,
    Esther

    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!

    @Shaye's: I love the poem on the rock as well. Lucky little Kipawa - lucky mom too. At this particular beach, there are quite a few rocks inscribed with various partial poems or eloquent thoughts. People can also pay for a bench as a tribute to a loved one. The beach has a wonderful feeling to it, a truly welcoming area for dogs and humans alike.

    @thunderbird8588: Fantastic shots, don't think we have lure coursing in England. Yes, we do, they do it on the greyhound race tracks :D My friend does it with his afghan, i'd love to have a go with Maya sometime!
