Lure coursing for non-sighthounds
Angel, my Chinese Crested, may not be an official sighthound but she
sure acts like one when she sees a small furry critter, and boy, is she fast! I think she'd be great at lure coursing, but all the organizations I could find on the web seem to be open to only official sighthounds, and the couple I emailed to ask never responded. Does anyone know of any that would allow her to participate (she's about the size of an Italian Greyhound), especially in the Seattle area? -- Debbie the Overdogged das at spamcop dot net "Lying is such a harsh word . . .

Howdy Debbie,
I don't know of anything official but there have been times when a club has let non-sighthounds run for practice. Did you contact ASFA or ASA to see if there are any clubs in your area that hold lure course events?=BF The other thing you or the club you belong to can do is buy a lure machine and hold your own event. Good luck in your search. Ask if you need more info or help. Frank X. Morris http://community.webtv.net/Sulkhalil/SalukiCornerChime |

Evergreen Basenji Club has all-breed coursing practice on Wednesday evenings at Fort Dent park in Tukwila starting in May. (At least they did a couple of years ago; Andrea Stone--who originally gave me the info--may have more up-to-date information.) And the Northwest Sporting Greyhound Association has practices irregularly in the Monroe area; the schedule is on their web site at http://www.nwsga.com/ I found both organizations to be welcoming towards "other breeds" participating. The Basenji club's practices in particular seemed to draw a variety of dogs. Patience Briard and I both miss coursing very much. It's a blast! Dianne |

The Border Terrier Club of America has terrier lure coursing at some of
it's fun events... whether or not the event offers terrier racing. The same gear is used for both. The dogs love it and are quite good. Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia |
