I know this is short notice but it does get us another practice in. Practice to be held at Uncas School Grounds at 10:00 AM this Saturday May 2, 2009!
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND COULD YOU PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL TO LET US KNOW.>
This practice will be held at Uncas School grounds rain or shine. Please bring water/shade for your dogs as there is none available on the grounds.
There will be a $5 fee per dog for practices.
Uncas School is located at Range Road 213 and Twp Rd 524. From Sherwood Park, Edmonton, go east on Wye Road until bend in road (Uncas School Sign, right now is kinda laying sideways), turn left, cross railroad tracks, continue on road for about 2 miles, the school will be on your right hand side. Or, continue on to RR 213, turn left, cross the railroad tracks, continue north for about a mile and the school will be on your left-hand side.
Since May the 10 is Mothers Day it was suggested that we hold the practice on SATURDAY May 9. Time: 10:00 AM at Uncas School Yard. Yes, we will be certifying dogs.
To certify, your dog will need to run with another dog, preferably of the same breed and not a "kennel mate". This will be on the required course of 600 yards. Please give some thought to finding or bringing along dogs to help to get your dog certified.
From Lure Coursing Field Trial Rules & Regulations
"7.1 "Eligibility of Hounds"
To be eligible to compete at approved lure coursing field trials a dog must meet the following requirements:
(a) A hound must be tested with another dog, not a kennel mate, preferably of the same breed, and certified running clean by a licensed judge. Hounds must be a minimum of 12 months old prior to being certified, and must run a normal course of 600 yards (548.4m)in order to be certified.

(c) All dogs must be one year of age on the date of the trial to enter a regular stake and must be registered or eligible for registration in the records of the CKC as herinafter provided."
We will have a CKC judge available for this and the cost is $10.00 (fee good until your dog certifies)
