Title: Sighthounds
Post by: Tirya on March 11, 2010, 01:02:05 AM

I think I mentioned that my friend and I went to see the sighthounds race a couple of weeks ago, I finally processed the video.

The static version of it is really grainy, but if you're on Facebook, the version you can get to via my profile (Videos tab) is a lot better.

That's really neat! :D

What do they use for the lure?  And I was very entertained with the last comment on the happy pup bringing up the rear on the last race. :rotflmao:

The white thing is a plastic grocery bag, the brown squeaker is a stuffed toy about the size of a rabbit. When they do Lure Coursing, where the route of the lre changes direction to simulate real prey, they just use the bag. The Ibizans are "dfferent" based on what they were telling us... :D  It's really cool to watch, and they do it all across the country.

Go puppy, go! That was cute, he sure was behind, but at least he seemed to be having a blast doing it.
