Minnesota - Lure Coursing Fun Run

Basenji Training
  • That is fantastic! I can't wait to meet you both! If you need more info wizard send me an email. I am excited!!

  • Ops, forgot kananga on the last post. If you want more info shoot me a post on my personal page and I will get you my email addy. :-)

  • I look forward to it. Sounds like I better prep my boy with some thorough exercise over the next 2 weeks.

  • Definitely! As you don't want him to pull or injur himself from over doing it that day.

    I don't 'train' my dog rather we just talk daily walks (3 per day) and closer to racing season I do sprints with him – he loves racing me and of coarse ALWAYS beats me!

  • Hopefully the weather cooperates on Saturday. Will they still do runs if it starts to rain?

  • In most cases yes, they will still have the event even in the rain.

  • Fair enough. Kananga does not mind the rain. :D

  • If it rains they will still course but it will depend on how hard it is raining. The latest weather update I heard today stated it was not suppose to rain until Saturday evening so lets just hope it holds out so we have a beautiful sunny 60 degree day!

  • Just wanted to remind anyone who is coming tomorrow to bring two leads as you will need one when releasing and one for the person catching your B if you are doing straight racing. I will bring extra just in case!

    I'll be sure to bring an extra. Anything else recommended that I bring?

    It'll be interesting to see how my B does once I get there. I have to give him some Benadryl before we leave in the morning (most likely an hour before) so he doesn't get upset from the car ride. Last time I took him on a longer drive he wasn't feeling too well. My vet recommended a low dose to help make him sleep on the drive. Otherwise I'm afraid he won't be eager to do anything from feeling sick. That's what happened when I took him to the dog park the other week.

    So I'm hoping he'll be OK energy-wise once we arrive.

  • Bring a chair to sit in (as there will be a long waiting period in between runs), a crate for your B to hang out when you aren't running or walking around, snacks, plenty of water for you and your B and you should be all set!

    I will be in a black Toyota FJ Cruiser so if you see my truck you can park by me.

    @ComicDom1: Kelli, Miranda and I are interested in Lure Coursing also. We are located in IL so we will be looking here and in the surrounding states for events. ComicDom1 Jason If you are not far from the WI border, the BCOSW club is having a coursing fundraising event at Lurecoursing Fanatics on May 9th in Somers, WI. It's fenced in and it's just for fun and open to any breed. $5 for one run, $8 for two. I'm bringing Zoni so she can do a puppy run or two. The info for the ASFA field trial in Belvidere, IL is also on the BCOSW website. http://www.bcosw.org/ (go to the events page)

    @Mia: I tried an online seach for lure coursing in Orlando but nothing. The closest one is about an hour away, actually ASFA only cites 3 in the whole state of Florida! If anyone can give me advice on how to find a club and get my puppy running that would be great. Thanks If they are not listed with ASFA or not AKC ( and I check AKC site and looks like only one club in AKC does coursing in FLA, Sunshine State Coursing Club of Central Florida) most likely you will not find one any closer. You might try NOTRA (oval track and see if any in FLA) but usually the same clubs that course do NOTRA. Also you might contact the club in Fla and ask them..
