According to the American Sighthound Field Association, "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."
Lure coursing can also be described as a fast-paced chase sport. Dogs run after a "bunny" lure (usually a white plastic bag but we have other attractive lures to use) that is attached to a line. They run in an open field and run as fast or slow as they want. If you think your dog might be a little shy, bring a favorite toy or favorite ball and we'll attach it to the line to entice him or her! It usually works!
Luratics is an ALL-BREED SPORTING CLUB that features LURE COURSING, and sometimes other fun things like AKC FastCAT or Sprint events. Most lure coursing is only open to sighthounds, but Luratics is open to all dogs. Purebreds, mixed breeds, any size or shape - all are welcome here!
NOTE: our Individual Runs are not suitable for large sighthounds such as Irish Wolfhounds, Greyhounds, Borzoi, Scottish Deerhounds, but other sighthounds such as Saluki's, Whippets, Silken Windhounds, etc., are usually fine. Ask us!
At our fun runs dogs usually run the course individually, not with other dogs, however, in some cases housemates or buddies will be allowed to run together. We now offer only INDIVIDUAL RUNS for one-two-or three-dog households. Please check our signup pages.
NOTE: DUE TO ONGOING HEALTH ISSUES, PAT IS SEEKING A BUYER TO TAKE OVER LURATICS. PLEASE EMAIL HER TO FIND OUT MORE.
