All Breed Lure Coursing Association
What is lure coursing?
Lure coursing is a sport for dogs that involves chasing a mechanically operated lure. In the sport of lure coursing we do not chase live game, we use a plastic bag on a string powered by motors. The dogs love to “hunt” the plastic bag. It only takes one time to see the enthusiasm the dogs have to become hooked on the sport of lure coursing. Lure coursing competition is typically limited to dogs of purebred sighthound breeds.
We, here at ABLCA, give all breeds an opportunity to trial in lure coursing, earn titles and just run for fun and exercise! We are currently offering a pass/fail lure course trial for all breeds called the Coursing Competency Test. We also, will be offering lure course trials in which the titles will be recognized by certain registries. The ABRA, OBBA, & M.A.D. will be recognizing the lure course titles earned through The All Breed Lure Coursing Association. We will also have fun run days where our members can come out and just let the dogs run! If you belong to a dog, and he/she loves to run, check out the All Breed Lure Coursing Association - it's all about family fun and it's an excellent work-out for the dogs! We have all the equipment to make it work, and make it fun.
