Lure coursing with Irish Wolfhounds

Today Shelby and I went with Holly and Cara to the Irish Wolfhound Association of New England match. They had conformation, canine good citizen and lure coursing for fun. A few of the irish wolfhounds were good at the lure coursing, but not many. A lot of them would chase the lure for a few seconds, then lose interest. So I had Shelby show them how it's done. She took off like a rocket. She was so excited. Just hearing the noise of it got her revved up. So she ran once by herself, and then we tried her and Cara together to see if Cara would chase Shelby. She did chase her a little more, but still wasn't into it. Shelby was so focussed, she actually went around twice. I'll have to look into lure coursing more, since it seems to be her favorite thing in the world!
