I have wanted to get Hollie into Lure Coursing since I adopted her and I am finally going to get a chance to do so!!!

If you are in the Knoxville, TN area and want to get in on the new Lure Coursing Club, check out the details on Hollie's Group Page on Dogster.com:

I have contacted the lady starting the group and it will most likely be a Paid Membership Club (to help off-set expenses). You need to e-mail the person in the above link to be included.

🙂 Watching basenjis coursing really makes me smile. They truly love it. Congrats on the results.

Darn those plastic bags! I remember last summer Kevin and Therese had to have a significant number of replacement bags on hand.

@Mojo's:

We took Mojo lure coursing for the first time a couple of weeks ago- he loved it! There was one lady who said if they ever do actually go after a real animal- say a bird or rabbit- and catch it, they will lose interest in lure cousing- they will want real prey.

NOT TRUE… gggg..... Maggii loved to course... caught and killed 3 squirrels in our yard... never made a difference. Mickii caught and killed 2 ground squirrels on outdoor off lead runs... never made a difference (Oh and add one bird plucked out of the sky)...

C-Me, just a year old now.. loves coursing... at 4 1/2 months caught her first squirrel in the yard and at 7 1/2 months one baby bird out of the sky

@lvoss:

In order to get a JC your dog does not need to run with another dog. A JC is earned by your dog running the course by itself. It must pass 2 JC tests to earn the title.

To certify a dog for ASFA the dog must run with another dog and show that it will not interfere.

D'oh! I got the two mixed up 🙂 But that's what I meant, lol….

Most of the lure trials we attended were ASFA trials....I think we did do practice runs at ONE AKC trial, but Jibini was less than 1 year old so I am pretty sure thats why we never did a JC "qualifying" run.

I'm tempted to get back into it now that I have my own "pair".....but it always seems money is an issue that makes a 300-400 mile weekend jaunt a bit out of reach!! I also found it disheartening that there were so few Basenjis entered in Florida lure courses, and among those I met, nobody had dogs who could run with a strange dog.

However, I enjoyed the time I spent at Lure trials and letting Jibini run....it was fun, even if we didn't get any "alphabet soup" for Jibini's name!!! Defintely an experience well worth it 🙂
