Upcoming ASFA Lure Coursing-GA, TN & TX

Basenji Training
  • D

    Anyone going to these? They are being held this weekend in GA, next weekend in TN (3 days) and the Houston, TX area?

    I would be coursing Arnie, my older male in the FCh stake, although he is eligible for the Veterans stake. You may have seen him course at the National in KY last year in the FCh stake.

    We will be coursing our two Fch in TN on the weekend only, couldn't get off work. We will be in McKinney Tx the next weekend for ASFA. This weekend we are heading to Shawnee OK for AKC. I have a friend coming to TN next weekend with one Fch and 2 or 3 open. She is going to GA this weekend with them. Sounds like you have better weather in GA than I will have in OK.

    There will be quite a few Basenji people at the GA trials this weekend including myself. There should be 3-4 FCh and a couple opens, possibly more entries that I don't know of, plus numerous people coming out just to socialize.

    I wish Ga were closer. We will be doing more AKC than ASFA this yr as thats what the clubs in our area are offering this yr. Maybe we'll be able to get a FC on our whippet as she is the only untitled one left.

    How did you like running in nice warm GA? We only ran one day of AKC in OK as the rain turned real heavy overnight and continued into the morning, none of us wanted to run our whippets on a slick clay hill. See you in TN next weekend with my 2 boys

    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

    @ibi_n_sane: yess it was a great day :D cant wait to see the pictures of Job ( Janneke's boyfriend ) that he made from our dogs too! we only took our galgo and 2 ibizans to the coursing, that gives us all our hands full enough haha the basenjis and our oldest ibizan hound can come the next time, allthough they enjoy the racing track too! ( the settlement of the racing track allows us to take all dogs at the same time and not having our hands full with these 6 haha ) I loved to see Barry (the galgo) run.. he ran beautiful…. :D And yes... I liked Cy and Smitty also... :D

    Yay glad to see some more local interest! As far as training, there is a group called SONG (Sighthounds of North Georgia) that does informal practices once a month or so depending on man power & weather. These practices are a great way to introduce a new dog to the lure. However, for most dogs its an instinctual thing & they don't need much training. Lola & Callie both caught on to it their first time. I just let them both watch other dogs doing it first, then let them go & they did their thing. Website for SONG: http://www.nghounds.info/index_files/Page430.htm It doesn't get updated frequently, but go to the lure coursing practice tab, scroll to the bottom & there are instructions to get on the e-mail list for upcoming practices. Hope to see you lure coursing soon!

    @Sunny: At what age is the best time to start lure coursing ?? And is there a course in oklahoma ?? Ide love to get Sandie into something like that, if she is interested… Sunny, You can start very short practices with puppies but you can't actually enter a trial until a dog is at least a year old. Coursing is available in Oklahoma. Your best bet is to contact Richard Stilwell. Richard and his wife Linda have been involved with lure coursing Basenjis for a long time and they can get you started in your area. Send me a private message for Richard email My best wishes. :)
