Lure coursing: no experience needed

8:30am. SLASH in conjunction with Mixed Breed Dog Club of St. Louis is sponsoring a Lure Coursing event and fun run. Does your dog like to run and chase things then this is for you. Dogs do not have to be trained. But coming on command is nice.

The Herding Field is the entry by the Barn just before the main entry to Purina Farms. Gravel parking lot. Drive Hwy 270 to Hwy 44 west. Take the Grey Summit exit off I-44 and go north two blocks on Highway 100. Turn left on County road MM and proceed 1 mile to Purina farms. Main address is 200 Checkerboard Drive if you use your GPS.

Will take gate entries. Fun Run is $5.00 -- Title Runs are $15.00 You need to join MB Club to get the title. MB offers titles to dogs that are not normally accepted in AKC events So ALL BREEDS and Mixed Breeds WELCOME And all sizes of dogs. The smaller ones do pretty good.

Bring a chair and some water and your dog. Dogs will run with buckle collars. Do not feed them at least 2 hours before event. A Vet will check your dogs gait before being allowed to run. The area is totally fenced and there will be plenty of people to help catch your dog if needed. Dogs will only be allowed to do two runs and must wait at least 20 minutes between them.

COME OUT AND ENJOY THE FUN. EVEN IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO RUN YOUR DOG, IT'S FUN TO WATCH THE OTHERS.
