simulated courseing

[thomps125 49]

just curious because some people on here find it a problem that a bull x on the lure is stupid and that it makes it a show dog

 

 

is there any one else who enters there doggs on the lure just for some thing to do

 

and duz this then make your dog a show dog as some people say

does chasing a tennis ball make a dog thick?? nope doubt a lure would either if thats what your asking, didnt understand much

sorry mate i am not to good at wording it

 

basicly you have made it plane and simple chaseing some thing weather its a ball or a lure is fun for the dog and also training

 

but in a previous thread people have slagd off my freinds dog because it is chaseing a lure in the pictures

My dad tried to enter his Lurcher into a lure race for a bit of fun (many years ago) he was slightly embarrassed when Zap sat down and refused to chase the fake bunny!!!

 

He would not chase anything you threw for him, he would look at you like you were stupid, great working dog just didn't play games!!

Not all dogs will chase a lure, but most will. I'm going to take my whippet lure coursing over the summer, and most of the meetings have lurcher stakes too. Don't see what's wrong with it personally – it keeps the dogs fit and they enjoy it. Plus the social side is good.

Made my own lure machien year before last, and had a bit of fun with it.

Going to do the same this summer too.

 

Also entered my dog into an upcoming lure course thing for a laugh, he will chase anything, so no worrys there.

thomps behave yourself like i said on the chocco thread a well worked bull x shouldnt be at a show thats why alot of them arent in them and the ones you see that are are the racey rabbiters

There are down sides. Often if your dog is a working dog it will be pitted against Greyhound Hybrids and will seldom if ever win, not good for the dogs drive. It can also bring out negative behaviours such as fighting and giving tongue on the line and while chasing, negative behaviours if they transfer over to the hunting field. I regret ever running my Lurcher at the simulated coursing events if only beacause it was detrimental to his noisieness and also that I was in the same field as the non hunting types who are for the most part non or even anti hunters.

well said mate - this simulated coursing has only been pushed by show organisers or lurcher clubs since the hare coursing ban to make lurcher owners look like we are happy to chase a rag on a string ! some of the dogs entered never see real quarry and to put them in the same boat as real working dogs is an insult to all of us who used to stand on the bank in all weathers at altcar in february ! - and before anyone asks thats the home of real coursing and the waterloo cup ! and yes i do own a bull x and wear trakkies with reebok classics and a realtree coat !

i dont see it a problem myself but just some people do

 

i was just wondering if there was going to be 4 pages of people sayin real dogs wont do it bla bla bla and that a bull x shudnt be at shows

 

i seen qwite alot of bull x at shugbourgh on satday and sunday one bloke had 5with him and was plenty of others

 

as for fighting i think thats a under statement as if your dog is trained propley it wouldnt fight other dogs
