grizabella Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 That would be just super. I can't wait to give it a go with Bella. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hope that it happens :D Fingers crossed it doesn't interfere with the last race of the season. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Lisa~ Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I know the title says it's for non-greyhounds... does just mean racing greyhounds? Or are older greying grehounds included in that too? I think Kiya would love it but I wouldn't want to get in the way.. We could make most Saturdays but couldn't get there on a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I can't see why you couldn't run a greyhound... it's where the greyhounds regularily run for training. The not-greyhounds tend to turn around at the end and sprint back to their owners. But - some people think allowing a re-trained greyhound to run a lure course undoes all that training not to chase SWF and etc. So you might ask the GAP people about it first.

MsKatie Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Just spoke to Trevor - he will get back to me early next week with some dates - probably a Saturday about 10.30 :) Will post as soon as he confirms dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyhounds are Greyhounds to the day they die, the instinct is always there and just because they chase a lure does not mean they suddenly want to chase SWF etc. Really, GAP greys are not re-trained to not chase. They are educated to live in houses etc. And people are taught how to manage their dogs drive. My ex race dog would chase anything that moved if he could including paper blowing down the street and then come home and happily curl up on the couch with the cat.

Thanks for that information Rebanne :) I'm not sure I will even be able to get her to bother with chasing the lure, just wanted to make sure I wouldn't upset other people by bringing a greyhound when the thread title says non-greyhounds.

Esky the husky Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I don't think it would upset anyone. It wouldn't bother me. I think the basis of the thread just started to find out if other breeds could give coursing a go. It was a lot of fun, even if Esky managed to 'do a husky' on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lisa, It's a fun day out for everyone :) The day we went we had Saluki's, husky (which ran the wrong way :laugh: ), kelpie, dobermann, 3-legged Belgian Shepherd, my Bull Terrier and the star was "Earl", the Bloodhound (he was soooo funny, just don't put your money on him!) We all had a great time laughing at the doggies having a great time :) Bring Kiya along, she'll love it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsKatie Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I agree with Bully - Kiya will enjoy the outing if nothing else. Rosie was in her element - Earl was hysterically funny (as was Pele) and the salukis were so graceful :) Trevor seems pretty confident we can arrange a couple of Saturdays for us - they apparently have a meeting tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
