BARTESS Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) A comined racing and coursing day will be held ay KCC Park, Westernport Hwy, Skye on Saturday 5th August 2006. The Lure Racing & Earth Dog Club have combined with the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Vic to hold this day. This will be an ideal day for those who have not experienced these activities before. The day is aimed at showing the thrills of coursing and racing to previously untried dogs. Our usual participants are most welcome but they will need to be patient while we focus on the newcomers. Racing is for the small dogs and coursing for both large & small dogs of any breed or mixed breed. The day will commence at 10.00am with half an hour of lure racing followed by half an hour of coursing and so on until 2.00pm. The BBQ will be cooking snags ($1.50 each) with cold drinks also for sale ($1.50 each). What do you need - strong collar and lead (not a correction collar), water bowl (bringing your own water will save a walk to the tap), stake or crate to secure your dog when they are not running (unless you are prepared to hang on to them). Cost will be $5-00 per dog for each activity which allows for as many runs as you can get.

Cheyenne_Fury Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Jake loves Lure Coursing so we will be there. What's the earliest age that they can have a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KismetKat Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 We will definetely be there, is a whippet too big for lure racing? They may well be too tall for the start box - but I am sure (having spoken with the JRTRC club people previously) if there are other 'taller' dogs they will have some separate taller dog races.

jesomil Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Are Greyhounds allowed to participate in Lure coursing? Just wondering because of the off leash laws with them etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Greyhounds are allowed. There are a few running. If the area is still fully enclosed do they still have to be on a lead? (just a general question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 be a bit dangerous with a lead trailing behind them I would have thought. The dogs run the lure coarsing individually unless you want to pair up with someone else but you dont have to. Both mine run by themselves and have an absolute ball!!! We'll be bleary eyed from dropping the OH at the airport at 6:30 am but enough coffee and liver treats in us and we'll be A OK ... just have to remember to give the right thing to the right creature :D Bartess I'll put up the photos of the Bordeaux running as soon as I get the photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just a general question) Well I won't be telling on them... Bring the grys, they'll have a ball! :D Nekbhet - so you eat liver treats??? *blerk* LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) The way I go before my daily caffeine shot ... I'd probably make my way through half a bag before realising that the dogs have polished off my Gloria Jeans :D But hey, they keep my coat shiny and I learned a new trick this week too :rofl: Edited July 24, 2006 by Nekhbet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Julie Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think I'll be there. Can't deprive the poor girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ish Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 BUMP!! I'll be there with Indi, who might be grouchy as she's due to come into season, but I'll chuck her in the car if she's naughty - hopefully she'll be too busy watching that plastic bag!! Oh and I will be taking a million photos with my new camera :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikesPuppy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 We gonna hvae to give this one a miss as well. Border Terrier point score show at the Showgrounds. Also, I don't think Iko could stand having to wait so long between runs lol. It'd drive her absolutely mad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevah Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I found a great idea for deprived lure coursing dogs. Go to a produce pet store, or one in the outer suburbs that sell stuff for horses. You can buy this nylon horse whip thingi. What you do is tie a plastic bag on the end, and fling it around my dogs go ape over it. The thing is about 15 feet long. I got a nice purple one.
