Lure Coursing

The ASFA I.I. is the premiere lure coursing event for the organization, drawing hundreds of sighthounds from all over the country in attempt to find the best of the best. In order to qualify for the event, a dog must have earned 20 points from previous competitions. I’ve taken Echo to two previous I.I.s...

Back to back lure coursing weekends! Who can argue with that?! The lure coursing crew and I headed back to Atlanta on Sunday for a cold, windy, slightly rainy day of chasing plastic bunnies. Thankfully, this time we left the field with everyone’s teeth intact! Bindi did wonderfully! She ran her heart out and captured...

I loaded up the hounds and headed to Fairburn, GA yesterday for a great day of lure coursing. It was a small trial with a good greyhound entry of four open dogs (and only one was mine!). Because this was an NLCC sanctioned trial, not ASFA, Echo is actually an Open dog since she’s...

Despite my best intentions last year to do a LOT of lure coursing, I really didn’t make it out to very many field trials. At the last minute, I decided to load up the van on Saturday and head to Atlanta so the dogs could chase some plastic. Echo, Lucas and the puppy Dash...

In a last minute decision (because for some reason I missed the trial info on the ASFA calendar), I decided to head off to Atlanta for the Labor Day GANG trial. It was a three day event, but I could only attend Saturday and Monday because we met up with my family in Charlotte on Sunday for...

Last weekend, Peanut and Bindi went to their first lure coursing event….they both ran in singles on Saturday and did amazingly well. Both seemed to pick it up quickly and their 2d runs of the day were showing marked improvement over their first. On Sunday, both of them certified together so they can now...

Echo, Rocky and I left for Boswell, OK last Thursday for the ASFA I.I. – only about a 15 hour drive from SC! Rocky just came along to support his sister since she was the only one of our pups qualified to enter the event and she doesn’t like to travel alone… There...

I’m so happy I’m able to share the weekend with y’all! I’m so proud of BOTH of my pups. They ran so beautifully and listened to their momma when I kissed them on the head and reminded them to run SAFELY! All images courtesy of Uma Rapiti Photography! A horse farm in Georgia is a...
