What is Lure Coursing?

     The objective of lure coursing is to demonstate the basenjis hunting ability in the field. The events help to preserve and develop the coursing skills inherent in sight hound breeds. These field events try to emulate real hunts but use only a non-animal lure to simulate real game bounding through the field.

     Most basenjis are excited about this activity which shows off their natural instincts and ability.
