    You should come to Slovenia. :) Here, basenjis can compete, but we don't have enough basenjis. :D Only my Tiva and one more female have licence - other owners are not interested in LC. :(

    Btw - fantastic photos! As usually!

    Hmm, the Czech Basenji Club also offers Coursing events for the B's. So maybe it would be a option to find out, if you can get a Licens and then travel to certain events…. I think this is what we are going to do....

    A Basenji does not obey to orders, it may listen to proposals.

    I have done it through Fort William dog club. They have a basic lure which is approx 400 yards in length and is hand (or foot) operated. I would just LOVE to get something organised. Maybe something around Stirling would be good as I think we can all reach there within 75 minutes drive at most. :)

    Hmm, right now I think about maybe purchasing this machine to start with:

    http://www.windhundrennmaschinen.de/en_index.htm Positive fact about this "Bunny in a suitcase" is, that it does not make the typical sounds, which makes the dogs freak out when ever they hear it….

    Because we would have a few options where to train the dogs on a regular basis. Official training coursings are held once a month in our Area (2-3 hours to drive there).
    At these trainings you can get the licens runs for the licens. But, I guess the dogs should be well trained to participate without any damage...

    Janneke, are you going to the BKB Specialty in Dol u Blatn? (CZ) next weekend? There are lots of people which also participate in the Basenji Sports programme. They might be able to help…. Unfortunately I cannot manage to get there this Year due to lots of work to be done. But I will try to get there again next Year. It is really worth the hunge distance....

    Regards,
    Esther

    No, We won't be there. I'll definitely look in to it, maybe next year then.

    I've recently heared that the Dutch Basenji Club bought a lure coursing machine. Now they only need to organise some events…... (and find a field etc..)

    yes they bought one, but have no field , so what is the use of that? they say they are not depending on third parties anymore but that is not truth since they still dont have their own field :confused::D
    so it is still more easy to train with the allready existing coursingclubs ( like Leek )

    p.s.: when can i see all the nice pictures of the coursing that Job made? :-)

    If I call you names, please note that I am not suffering the Tourette syndrom.

    I used to have a basenji who would chase a plastic bag I tied to a "wand" around the yard. He seemed really in to the "bunny" so I took him to a couple of lure coursing events in central FL. It was wonderful to see the dogs running and so hard to hold my boy back from joining them. At the end of the day, we were able to do a straight out and back run to see how he would do, and he was great. Not long after, 2 guys that I placed a basenji with rigged up a reversing motor and set up a very small "lure course" in their back yard! There were about 12 of us there with basenjis and we let them chase the bunny one or two at a time. It was great fun. You do have to be careful not to run them too young, or too hard without conditioning. My current basenji gets to run like crazy at the dog park (it's huge and everyone is very impressed at his speed and agility) and at the baseball field (when it's not locked up). Slents: I loved your video! Thanks for posting it. I hope you eventually get to attend a lure coursing event in person - it really is something to see!

    Looks like fun. My Bs would love to do that. It is instinct or must they be trained?

    Great pics!! Same reason I always get nervous if Shera wants to play with fluffy dogs - she chases the tail and the fur always ends up in her mouth!
