Lure coursing fun runs ...

[colliewog]

While waiting for a CAT test near me, and to beef up the terriers' racing style, we've been doing some lure course fun runs.

Spud

Mastered the tight turn ...

Low quality, but she's flat out and I love her smooth muscles...

OE

S-t-r-e-t-c-h

Yelling at the lure - "Git back here!"

Fly baby, fly!

Dora
(a pound or two needs to come off before running the full 600 yds for the CAT*).

Smidgen
(same thing, a pound or two needs to come off to be at her ideal racing weight*)

* they are at ideal weight for normal life, but I prefer a leaner dog when racing.

Awesome pictures! I loved the ones where they were completely stretched out!

They look marvelous! Love seeing dogs doing this, and yours are so gorgeous Smooth collies are my favorite of all the collies.

Love the levitation shot! My JRT seemed to be airborne half the time

Great pictures!

The girls look great. OE and Spud are such terriers!
Do you know of any non-sighthound breed CATs coming up?

There was supposed to be one as the SSLCC trial this weekened, but at the last minute I found out it was only for Saturday and I was already going to the GCTC terrier trial, so we missed it.

Their next lure coursing trial is in April and they will offer the CAT (AKC breeds only though) on Saturday again.

I'm still waiting for a UKC CAT ....

Katie,

I think we met yesterday at the trials! Do you have the dates of the next CAT in Florida? While Stella had me running lures with her today (i believe there may be pictures of this), Pepper is ready to go.

Take care,

Marla

Hi Marla! It should be April 16-17 in Altoona, FL. Check the AKC website. I was told they were having the CAT on Saturday only, but don't know if it's showing up yet.
