Coursing at the Beach of R?m? (DK)

    We visited some friends who spent their hollidays at the isle of Roemoe. They did bring their own "bunny in a suitcase" and we had a little free coursing at the beach. Lots of non-Basenjis and only one little Panda to have fun with all those long legged dogs… http://www.seelenfreund.dk/gallery/index.html#63.0

    A Basenji does not obey to orders, it may listen to proposals.

    What is the breed? Are they Sloughi? They look like greyhounds but more delicate.

    Great photos, looks like everyone had fun!

    Yes, they are Azawakh and I have to admit, that I am 100% sure, that one of them will join our pack one day! They are soooo Basenji…. ;-) but they do have high protection skills and are quite territorial as well.

    But we were also joined by 2 big poodles, 2 Podenco (mixes), 1 maybe Azawakh-mix and of course Vega as a representative for Galgo Espanol. Oh, and I do not want to "hide" the Labrador....

    @ Janneke: In case you would like to know more about the various breeders, let me know, I might be able to refer you to somebody who is really into the breed and knows almost all the breeders and their dogs. She is the breed representative in the German Sighthound Assc. and is always very happy to help "Newbies".....

    Regards,
    Esther

    I used to have a basenji who would chase a plastic bag I tied to a "wand" around the yard. He seemed really in to the "bunny" so I took him to a couple of lure coursing events in central FL. It was wonderful to see the dogs running and so hard to hold my boy back from joining them. At the end of the day, we were able to do a straight out and back run to see how he would do, and he was great. Not long after, 2 guys that I placed a basenji with rigged up a reversing motor and set up a very small "lure course" in their back yard! There were about 12 of us there with basenjis and we let them chase the bunny one or two at a time. It was great fun. You do have to be careful not to run them too young, or too hard without conditioning. My current basenji gets to run like crazy at the dog park (it's huge and everyone is very impressed at his speed and agility) and at the baseball field (when it's not locked up). Slents: I loved your video! Thanks for posting it. I hope you eventually get to attend a lure coursing event in person - it really is something to see!

    @Buddys: Hi Kosuzu! I am replying with just my own experience. I only know a little about the local club I visited. There were no mixed breeds, all sight hounds, and a few hounds, the ridgbacks were real popular in the club, and one either needed papers to prove breed, (i never did get the akc papers promised by the previous owner) or I was told if my boy really looked obvious then he could compete. I am not interested in ribbons or placement really (but running the fastest time is exciting!) First Uzie would go against juniors in a class to ensure no aggression during the run of 750yards. Then go against the others in a duo and trio run. But things won't start up til it gets cooler here in Florida. I have a mini lure courser. It is ok, have to make sure the line doesn't get back washed on the spool though. here is a link, but if you can afford a bigger self winding machine-or get one made….then I think it is better then having to wind it up after each run of 150feet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7nqKp3rQ78&NR=1&feature=endscreen There are others out there too: http://wickedcoursing.com/products.html Good Luck! have fun!!! Thanks for the info and the link. I am thinking of getting the Lure Baby from Wicked Coursing. The only thing I have to consider is that the States has 110volt and Australia has 240volt. I think I need some kind of power converter and plug adapter. I will do some more research on that.

    Great pics!! Same reason I always get nervous if Shera wants to play with fluffy dogs - she chases the tail and the fur always ends up in her mouth!
