Lure Coursing
| This site is best viewed using Internet Explorer or Firefox |
Welcome to Bantu Basenjis & Ridgebacks!
Lure Coursing is an exciting and fast paced event for all sight hounds,
including basenjis! In Africa, basenjis are still used today for hunting prey
with tribes - flushing and catching their prey on the run. Lure trials are a safe,
controlled way for our dogs to show us what they are built to do by simulating
the movement of prey by a remote control operated pulley system in an open
field. The hounds love it and it is amazing to watch them perform.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) sanctions lure coursing trials and tests for
dogs to earn various field championship titles. The American Sighthound
Field Association (ASFA) and Large Gazehound Racing Association (LGRA)
offer various titles as well.
In 2011 AKC started offering the Coursing Ability Test (CAT) which is open to
ALL dogs of any breed or mix! Have a dog that loves to run and chase? Check
into this program!
For a brief description and short video of lure coursing, visit ASFA's site.

T.K in one of his first ever runs earning his Junior Courser title. This
boy looooves to lure course! Granted he's a bit pushy on the field, so
he does it just for fun nowadays and leaves the competition to his
daughters.
