Hello Richard,

Many thanks for the links.
Had a nice evening with the coursing videos of Youtube.


Regards
Joerg and Yoki

Thank you very much Joerg for supplying the list of participants for the 2010 Euro Championship!

With reference to the video:-
Some good, some bad, and one downright ugly run.
I was very disappointed to see that one incident with a bitch coming in to the finish and then after a bump, really starting a fight.
The owner should have been at the catch point to stop that as soon as possible - I suspect it was predictable.

This sort of behaviour in Deerhounds (and their owners) is unacceptable.

I used to love going to France to lure course - for one thing because all the breeds ran under national rules without a muzzle, usually there was fine lure coursing ground, and other than the fact the French encouraged a philosophy of lure coursing with regular club training, they made a great weekend of it!

Running with muzzles, and to racing rules - where judging stops as soon as the lure stops so that no disciplinary measures follow aggresive interference at that critical point - condones aggression on the field.

Many thanks to Gerd Zekert for the video, and for getting us Deerhounders to go to French lure coursing (P.V.L.) back in the early 1990's.
