Ridgebacks are eligible to participate in lure coursing trials along with other sighthound breeds, such as Greyhounds, Whippets and  Borzoi. In lure coursing, dogs run three at a time and follow an artificial lure around a pre-determined course pattern. Coursing dogs are scored on speed, enthusiasm, agility, endurance and their ability to follow the lure. Lure coursing is truly and exciting sport and is is almost as much fun for the handlers as it is for the hounds.
For more information on lure coursing check out the website of AKC
and the American Sighthound Field Association ("ASFA").
