So good to have lure coursing held on the 3rd day of the 13th Rhodesian Ridgeback National 2023!
It was a good chance to give Pirate and Western a try while I was there 😊

Pirate was very keen and started off well but I think she was confused as to why she was chasing a plastic bag,
Would defintely give her another try though. Western was totally uninterested,
but did run “away” from the lure LOL
Funny girls 😬
Thanks to Penny Parker for the awesome shots and to all that organised this event!
Pirate was so excited until she figured out she was chasing a plastic bag full of nothing😊
Western was so funny 😬
