AKC lure coursing day is finally here! No idea how it’s different than the other time I’ve gotten to run fasty – but Momma says it is…so, it must be true.
We left the hotel early in the morning, and drove to a field in Eastvale CA (near Norco). The field is super nice, soft, green grass that’s perfect. Nothing like this back home in Colorado. It’s like a stroll in a park…get it? (Because it IS a nice park!)
Today is the day of the Pharaoh Hound Western AKC trial. It’s my first AKC coursing, and my first Western. There are lots of Pharaohs entered! And lots of good runners. I want to meet them all. Momma says I have to focus on running instead.
I ended up winning the Open class (for non field champions) — my cousin Jett won the Specials class (for field champions) — my brother Cayman won the Veterans class (for the oldies but goodies). We all got to run off for Best in Field….and guess what? I won! I just ran, but Momma was super excited and all smiles. She says “Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner” – and Cayman got all excited and was barking. I joined, too. Now…where’s my dinner?! Back at the hotel, apparently. Booooo.
Today, was my first 5-point major, towards my AKC field championship. But I didn’t care…I got to run! Yeah!
