Simulated Coursing

[DavidH]

thinking about giving my whippet a go. is there any where in the north east where you can school a dog on the simulated lure. she is track trained 22 inch???????

 

[DavidH]

looks like there is no clubs/coarsing schooling in the north east. pity i think sadie would enjoy the jinking lure.

Hi David

theres nothing up your way at the moment, best bet would be to try and set something up .

 

[DavidH]

what does the lure go round to make it turn??????? is there a standard distsnce run up and turns :cheers:

 

[Mark Roberts]

Hi David,

The lure goes round pulleys to cause it to turn (ive included a pic below of some a freind makes.) theres no set distance for the run up or the course it all comes down to what you want to do.

over the 7 years ive run lure coursing meetings i've set up courses ranging from 400 up to 900yds the run up is normaly 70-100yds then the distance between pullys varies to give a varied course so it doesnt just suit a fast or slow dog.

:cheers: WILL GET A COUPLE MADE UP AND GIVE HER A GO :thumbsup:

DO YOU HAVE 2 OR 3 TURNS ???????

We have used up to 10 rollers on a big course but 5-6 will give you a good course. :thumbsup:

5or6 is pushing it a bit if you're looking for a meaningful course for quality dogs to express themselves. 10 plus would be more appropriate :thumbsup:

Hi David

the more the better realy, the bigger the course you set up the more of a test for the dogs.

idealy you would want a course over 600yds.

i'm just in the process of sorting things out for this winter for the NWLCC so i'll give you a shout to as and when ect if you fancy a ride down.

A condition of entry will be that everyone helps with a job as and when needed so nobody should get stuck doing anything all day.
