Meredith Hamilton Webboard User Reg: 01-25-2009 Posts: 1082 Loc: Columbus, Ohio Offline	I took Ripley to a lure coursing trial on Saturday. They sometimes let non-sighthounds run after the trial is over. In talking to folks there I learned that the UKC is going to create a lure course title for non-sighthounds. I can't find anything about it on the UKC web site. Anyone heard of this? I hope it's true! Ripley & his Precious

I can't find anything about it on the UKC web site. Anyone heard of this? I have not, but I'll be interested to hear what you find out - Ridgebacks are big coursers, but for some redonk reason ridgeless RRs are disqualified from competing for titles - they can only participate in the "fun runs" that Ripley is able to do (the logic is that a DQ is a DQ, and if the ridgeless isn't up to snuff for the conformation ring, they don't get a chance at coursing titles either)... I don't get it though - coursing is an instincts and ability test, and similar to OB and agility titles, any dog with aptitude for it should be allowed to compete for honors, no? ~Natalya
