Liza Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Does anyone know if there's any lure coursing/racing organization in Perth? It sounds like a lot of fun and may be something Keeda would enjoy. I did an online search but all I found was Queensland. Nothing seemed to come up in Perth at all except for agility/obedience clubs and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 As far as I am aware, it is actually against the law to have lure coursing in WA except with special permission? Correct me if I'm wrong anyone. I believe the JRT club have been granted special use. I know the Tenterfield Terrier Club are working on building a lure racing track but who knows when it will be finished. How big is your dog because I believe their is a new club called the Small Dog Activity Club that meet once a month in Langford and they do lure coursing or racing, your dog is required to be muzzled though. It's sad that it's so hard to find here because I would love to do it with Kyzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liza Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Aw, that really stinks. I'm not sure what my dog's exact size is, but her head reaches a bit over my knee. She's an Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Kelpie/Beagle mix so I'd just be doing it for fun. I read that in Qld mixes are still allowed but it's more of a fun thing than a competition. Do you have any idea why it might be banned? Nothing I read suggested that the sport might be dangerous :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whip it Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Liza I was just about to post a topic asking exactly the same thing! I wanted to know if there was anywhere in WA where I could take my Pharaoh and his Whippet sister to do Lure Coursing as they are sighthounds and very highly driven! Thats a shame if we cant do it, we could have met up and they could have run against each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Amypie, Do you have any idea how you obtain 'special permission' and who grants it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 No I don't sorry. It may be granted by whichever government department governs Greyhound racing? Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
