PeiPei Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Can anyone tell me where I could try line / lure coursing in Adelaide South Australia? I have a dog that I think would really love it and would like to give her a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are any organisations doing proper lure coursing in SA unfortunately. The Greyhound Owners, Trainers and Breeders Coursing club of SA has a straight track at Virginia that they do greyhound coursing at and apparently other breeds are welcome to try out, on non race days..I was going to investigate this a while ago but never got around to it. If you end up finding anywhere else, I'd love to know too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitch Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow I was literally just googling away trying to find somewhere in Adelaide to take my dog to try lure coursing too! Will be watching this thread with interest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to check this out! What breeds of dogs do you guys have out of curiosity? Mine is an Italian Greyhound.. we've been training him agility but he's just too bloody fast and wont let me keep up.. I think he'd be much better at lure coursing seeing as he loves to chase things! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only place in Aus that does competitive coursing is in Qld? We have a Saluki and Pharaoh Hound, who of course would love to chase ;) Given it's what they were bred for, it would be great to let them have a chance to enjoy their natural instincts in a safe setting.

Skitch Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Cool, it sounds like all of our dogs would probably be suited to this sport! Now we just need to find somewhere to take them.. Hmm I dont live in Adelaide but I'll try to make some inquiries through the greyhound club and maybe make a visit next time I'm down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
