Who are We?
We are Lure Coursing Fanatics! The FIRST All Breed
Lure Coursing Club in the US. That's all we do - and we do it
well! We have a completely fenced field (no worries of dogs running
off or loose dogs interfering on the course), experience running dogs of
almost every breed (including the super fast sighthounds) and guidance
from those that have been in the coursing business for MANY years (special
thanks to Pat and Jim, our mentors!). And we have helped other clubs
get started! We want to bring the joy of coursing to ANY dog that
wants to run!
New - we
will be running tomorrow morning at our place (from 9:00 am to 11:30)
before we head over the the Safe Harbor event
New
Schedule!!
I've started a
schedule. Be sure to check the website the day before to be SURE we
are still running (no weather problems).
News flash
- Lure Coursing Fanatics is in the October 2007 issue of Bark Magazine!!
Julia Kamysz Lane first
encountered Lure Coursing at Camp Dogwood then brought her dogs up to
our place for some runs. Julia is the Activities editor for Bark
Magazine and wrote the issue's piece on the fun of chasing that bunny!
NEW - what's more fun than Lure Coursing?? Lure Coursing for
LESS!!
We are now offering a
discount rate for EVERYONE with our new 10 run LCF Pass. Instead of
buying individual runs you can purchase the Pass for $40 - that's a
savings of $10 off the regular price.
Passes can be purchased
starting April 14th and can be used right away.
The
pictures
from past LCF dates and fundraisers can be found on our photography
website:

Now you can get your favorite coursing picture on a shirt, or greeting cards, or bumper sticker
or many other items! We have opened a store at Cafe
Press - All Creatures Pix. You let us know what picture you
want, and the item you want it on, and we create the item for you to view
and order from Cafe Press. Please check this out, we're really
excited about it!
Update: I think there has been a
misunderstanding! Our club is not against sighthounds - not at
all! They are more than welcome to come and run the lure just like
all the other dogs!! It's just that where most lure coursing clubs
are for sighthounds first and other breed are sometimes welcome to ran
after practices, our club is for ALL breeds, ALL the time!!
We are a group of people who's dogs LOVE to
Lure Course! Chasing a piece of bunny fur on a string around a large field
might not sound like fun to you but our dogs are FANATICAL
about this game!!
Our club is in the
South-Eastern Wisconsin area (near Kenosha) and open to ANY and all dogs* that want to
try the sport of Lure Coursing!! It doesn't matter what breed your
dog is - or if they are a mixed breed. If they like to chase things
they will LOVE Lure Coursing!
Our motto is ... It Ain't Just for Sighthounds Anymore!
And many an owner has been
surprised when their dogs, who previously showed no signs of being prey
driven, fell under the Lure's spell!!
