What is Lure Coursing?
Lure Coursing is a humane sport created in the 70's mainly for sight hounds. It simulates the chase of a hare during a hunt but any dog can participate and have fun. The "bunny" or lure is usually a simple white trash bag that is pulled along a course with many turns.
Many breeds are involved today; the Afghan, Basenji, Borzoi, Greyhound, Ibizan, Irish Wolfhound, Italian Greyhound, Pharaoh Hound, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Saluki, Scottish Deerhound, Sloughi, Whippet, and some others are the typical participants, even out beloved Jack Russell Terrier can enjoy a good romp. This equipment can also be used for training birds of prey or excersising exotic animals!
What is needed?
Basic set-up should include a lure machine, drive wheel, take-up wheel, pulleys, nylon string, lure tips and of course a lure, usually a white trash bag.
