Picture this: It was a sweltering summer
day. Not a cloud in the sky. About 2:00
in the afternoon. We were arriving to the
Wayne County Fairgrounds in Richmond,
Indiana. There were dogs everywhere.
They were jumping off docks into a pool,
pulling carts full of blocks, bounding
over jumps and scurrying up “A”
frames…and
there was one

traded for a mechanical one that runs on
a rail, in an oval track. This was where
the modern day racing of Greyhounds
and Whippets began. This provided a
great way to witness the speed of these
dogs, but it removed the agility needed
for spectacular turns the dogs do when
chasing live prey.
We owe the
modern day
lure coursing
to a California
man by the
name of Lyle
Gillette.

loose pooch. Welcome to lure coursing.
For the past several years lure coursing
Coursing is an ancient sport, one for meets have been held by the American
royalty and sighthounds dating back to Sighthound Field Association (ASFA), the
4000 B.C. In more recent times, the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the
1800’s, dogs were used for hunting by United Kennel Club (UKC); but the

animals. In the 1920’s the live hare was introduced a coursing title for all breeds
– the Coursing Aptitude Test (CA). To earn the UKC’s
CA title any breed of dog must run and pass 3
different courses, at 3 different meets, under 2
different judges. The courses are the same courses the
sighthounds use. In order to pass the course the dog
must complete the run with passion and without
disruption.
We got several strange looks as we ventured out into
the field to the starting area. We really didn’t know
what to expect, I mean the courses are on average
between 500 and 1000 yards long -can a Toy Poodle
run that far? No sooner did the Huntmaster say “Tally
-Ho” than our poodle shot out like a rocket! While he
was running the course I was holding the other poodle
and she was screaming to get at the lure…she was an
addict before she ever started! When the boy returned
and pounced on the lure growling and tugging at it,
the Huntmaster walked over and handed us our first
lure coursing blue ribbon. We passed! Two more times
and we will have CA titles.
We are happy to report that both of our poodles made
history that weekend. They both had 3 qualifying
runs, at 3 meets, under 2 judges and earned their CA
titles. They are the first toy breed and the first
poodles, of any size, to earn the CA title. Our next step
is the CAX title (Coursing Aptitude Excellent). Once
you earn the CA title you can immediately start
working toward your CAX. The CAX title requires 12
more passes.

Richard Hunter for Hunter’s Run Action Photography
At each meet the course is laid out and run by at least
3 people – the judge, the Huntmaster, and the lure
operator. You will find the judge on a ladder in the
field which gives the best view of the entire course.
The Huntmaster stands at the beginning of the
course, near where each participant will release their
dog. He starts each course with the call “Tally-Ho!”
Participants are not allowed to release their dog until
the call has been made. The lure operator runs the
lure on the course. He/she must keep the lure in front
of the dog and at a good speed and distance from the
dog to keep them focused on the lure.
Flashback: We are back in the hot sun, in the field, in
Richmond, Indiana. The dog we saw running was a
shepherd. There were Cane Corso’s and Jack Russell’s
and American Hairless Terriers and Berger Picards
and Rat Terriers and Standard Poodles and … you get
the picture. They were all there to try lure coursing!
So I look over at my friend and say, “We ought to try
it…” Yes, we do own terriers but that is not the breed
we wanted to try, after all terriers would take right to
it. We wanted to try our 2 silver Toy Poodles…..yes Toy
Poodles.

Premier has come and gone – and not a single brag
on our Yahoo group! I hope they will all be in the
newsletter.
Anybody have any ideas that could make our Yahoo
group a little more active and maybe more useful to
our members? Anything you would like to see UPBA
doing that is not getting done? What do you expect
from your club? Are we measuring up? Comments
and/or suggestions could be posted on the list,
directed to individual board members or we can
possibly set up a poll with some alternatives and
ask everybody to vote.
much benefit to all of us and our judges. We’ve
received a suggestion that we use some drawings for
our primary illustrations and then use a few real life
pictures for “backup”. This might make things a lot
easier. I have a lot of difficulty getting good pictures
of whole dogs, not to mention specific parts! Gloria
has a line on somebody who might do this for us
and will let us know what she finds out.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. We have
two great UPBA events coming up – obedience, rallyo, and our annual specialty. Please refer to pages 11
-12 for the flyers.
We’ve sort of reached an impasse as far as the
Illustrated Breed Standard. This would be of so
