To get a licence a dog has to have at least three trial runs certified bynjudges. One is a solo run, where the dog has to show that it has desire for the lure and runs well. The others are group trials, where the dog has to show that it can run with others on the track, without interfering with the other dogs' runs and that its focus stays on the lure despite the other dogs. Sounds simple enough, but often the confined space of running in a tight group on a narrow track distracts the dogs from the primary objective, the lure. Oh, and they of course also have to demonstrate that they can start from the starting boxes.

This hot on the heels of winnig the Finnish Lure-Coursing Cup! We are so proud!!

Yes, and I've heard the racing lines of Afghans have Saluki in them. Unless the subsequent generations are inbred, after a few generations the outcross blood is so dilute it has no bearing. I really fail to see why dog registries REFUSE to recognize what the livestock registries have known for a long, long time.
