Lure Coursing
is a terrific sport and the drive to chase the lure comes innately to "most" Ridgebacks, but not all.
I am proud to say that most of
the puppies bred by Yandisa have been keenly interested in lure coursing. If you go to Disa's page, you can
see where they might have gotten this drive honestly!
There is
a wealth of information on lure coursing available on the web and I am strongly advising that you do your homework BEFORE
putting your Ridgeback in harms way. Lure coursing is more physcially challenging than most novices realize and learning
the hard way is not fair to your dog.
I would
also strongly urge you to ensure KNOWLEDGEABLE people are available to monitor any practice runs you are taking advantage
of. Anyone can buy the equipment, but they don't necessarily know the proper and safe ways of operating it, let alone
how to keep your dog or puppy safe.
Please utilize the links below to ensure your dog is ready for lure coursing
and to know what to expect at a trial.
