Does anybody know of lure coursing in Texas
-
Otis is in a beginner Obedience class, he has three more classes to go. I did see some things online, but will also ask my trainer, or should I say Otis' trainer..lol
-
There is a lure coursing event happening above Austin 10/23 & 10/24. It's in Hutto. I don't know if Basenjis will be there, but I'm going to go. It's been an interest of mine for a long time. :) I want to see what I need to do in order to get Nayru involved…if she shows an interest, that is.
-
We will be in Hutto next weekend. I will have Trog and Xander in Fch ASFA, and I believe Linda is bringing her girls for AKC. There will be practices at the end of the day Saturday, which your dog could try. We were just in Florence at the beginning of the month, the field had not been cut, so it was a bit of a challenge.
-
Darn, I would have loved to go to the coursing - but the Belton shows conflict. I too have been trying to find coursing since we moved here. I have 2 kids with their JCs and one trial towards SC, and several others I would like to try coursing. Now that Wanda Pooley has moved here, maybe we can get it together and organize some practices (she has equipment!)
BTW, word is that the Houston Basenji Club has folded. Maybe those of us in the Houston area ought to restart it!Terry
-
I would love it as well, although I have no B yet…
Terry, as far as I know the Basenji Club here in houston has been dissolved for years..a new one would be swell..I will be in if we start a new one. -
Lots of TX coursing coming up. 6-7 Nov ASFA/AKC Cat Springs, 13 14 Nov AKC Lc in Wylie, 26-28 Nov ASFA in Decatur, 11-12 Dec ASFA in Waller,18-19 Dec AKC in Cat Springs and 31 Dec - 2 Jan ASFA/AKC in Cat Springs. We will be at the Wylie and Decatur events for sure and possibly the end of the yr event in Cat Springs if my whippet is not in season then. TX coursing runs Mar - May and Oct-Dec due to the heat.
-
go to this link under the premiums it lists the addresses of the various farms where they course. I have never been to cat spring either, but found it on the map slightly north west of Houston.
-
Thank you! http://www.alamoareawhippetclub.com/AAWC/Event_Schedule.html is what worked for me. I will bookmark it. Even if Nayru doesn't enjoy it, I think I would. :)
-
So cool, I am litterally in Waller, will be going to that one for sure.
-
Great. I do not think we will make Waller as there is NOTRA that weekend closer to home if the weather cooperates. If the NOTRA is cancelled we will go south.
-
Could you give the location/time of the lure coursing event in Hutto on Oct. 23rd and 24th? I'm very interested in going. I'm assuming you can bring your basenji with you (on leash). He's never tried this before, so I thought it might be a good opportunity to give it a go at the end of the day on Sat. Thanks!
-
Not sure what time practices will begin as they will be after the AKC Trial and JC/QC tests. Most likely 4 pm or later. If nothing else your dog will let you know if he is interested in it by watching. Hoping the equipment works better this trial than the last which had a 2 hr delay while the replaced selenoids at the very beginning.

Last night our whippet tore the webbing between her two middle back toes running thru the yard, so we are going to cancel on going to Hutto now so she can have some crate rest and hopefully be back up running for next weekends ASFA trial at our home club in Lawrence, KS. The basenjis will get to run NOTRA near home this weekend as a consolation.

I am just getting into Lure coursing and am taking my 1y/o to her first event on November 26th …. there is a 3 day regionals in Decatur, TX. Its Fri, Sat, and Sunday ... Saturday is the biggest day. We are going Friday because I want to see she my senji will run a practice to see how she does.
-
We are running all 3 days in Decatur along with Linda Stillwell with her 3 so there will be plenty of basenjis to meet.
