Draglure canix

Posted on by

We’re always on the lookout for new sports to try with Beanie and Biggles. They already do (and thoroughly enjoy) lure coursing and also a little bit of canix and drag hunting. So what could be better than combining all three?!

Paul had Beanie and Biggles attached to his canix harness. I set off running dragging a lure soaked in a mixture of aniseed and vegetable oil. After giving me a head start Paul and the Beaglets set off in search of me. I try and change direction when I am out of sight of the dogs in an attempt to loose them. They use a combination of scenting and sight to find me. Here’s a short video of them in action:

I’ve been trying for ages to get a video of Biggles’ “boinging”. Usually he stops when I turn up with the camera, but today he was so intent on his goal (a tub of margarine!!??) that he didn’t notice me…
