Katie's Favorite Sport

Easily the fastest sport on four paws, Lure Coursing provides great exercise and confidence boosting for all interested dogs. Both Lure Coursing Fanatics and our little Katie were given mention in a 2007 Bark Magazine article of the joys of chasing the bunny. Help celebrate the day we got Katie from WSHS and give your dog a totally fun afternoon.

From the American Sighthound Field Association website:

“Lure Coursing is a performance event developed in the early 70's by Lyle Gillette and other California sighthound fanciers who hunted jackrabbits in the open field, which risked the harm caused by barbed wire fencing. They invented lure coursing as a safer, more controlled sport for sighthounds that would recreate the physical requirements of open field coursing, allowing them to continue testing the functional abilities of their sighthounds. The hounds chase plastic bags on a course laid out to simulate escaping game.”
