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.
Where can I buy a collar for lure coursing?
-
I am trying to find a quick release collar for Zahra when I take her lure coursing.
We just joined our area lure coursing club so I don't know if anyone in the group can help me yet but I thought that maybe someone on the Basenji forum can tell me where they got theirs.
Thanks,

Hi ChazeandZahrasMom,
You can try these online stores:

Hope this helps,

I really like All Hounds Apparel because they will replace their collars for life even if chewed. I bought one and a month after I bought it Rio chewed it. I sent back the hardware and they sent me a new collar for free.

Jenn-do you know when the first event is?? I'd like to go see an event first to see if C3 would be a good candidate for these events.

Go to the American Sighthound Association website and look for the club closest to you, if you contact them they should be able to tell you the next meet, I know that the first time that you come out in my group it is free.

I hope this helps you and anyone else!

Do you have to join a club that is dog specific???
I see there's the Borzoi club or the Whippet Club in NJ. I don't see any Basenji Clubs.
-
I would contact the one that isn't breed specific, if that doesn't work you could always contact one of the breed specific ones and ask them for help.
I think the only Basenji club near us in the Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club, check this site out for a club closer to you

Here are a few pictures of the lure course collar….

Betsey does Nick make these as well???

I wouldnt be surprised if he does or would if you asked. I definately paid too much ($25) for mine when I was at an event and had to have one.
