National Lure Coursing Club

    SEGC will host the 3rd running of the Christmas Cup, December 17 - 18 at beautiful Bear Creek Farm near Moreland, Georgia. The running will get underway each day at approximately 10:00 am. On Saturday the Club will unveil a new perpetual trophy, the Alicia Hartman Norwood Memorial Trophy, which will be awarded to the winner of Best in Field on Saturday. Breed winners from both days' trials will run for the Christmas Cup on Sunday afternoon.  Lurchers and longdogs are eligible to run in the regular stakes. The program for the Christmas Cup may be found in the Documents section and at SEGC's Web site at www.greyhoundadoption.org

     SEGC will offer a hot lunch both days as a fundraiser for Southeastern Greyhound Adoption, and Saturday will feature the 4th annual SEGA Hound Cookie & Treat Exchange from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. We hope you and your dogs will join us for a wonderful weekend of running sport in this picturesque countryside setting !

       The Southeastern Greyhound Club is pleased to report that it will again host four weekends of lure coursing sport at three different venues for the 2011-2012 season. All the meetings will include features that put the dogs and safety first and foremost -- drag lure on big, safe fields in beautiful countryside venues, long galloping course plans that test all the coursing skills, running in braces and only during that time of year when running conditions are most likely to be optimum. For the people, there's the head-to-head competitive excitement and judging objectivity that only the brace elimination format can offer, cash prizes for 1st placements, rosettes for all placements, prizes for the dogs for all placements, established perpetual trophies for each trial, and the amenities that have always been a mainstay of SEGC lure coursing. Lurchers and longdogs are always eligible to compete in the regular stakes.

        The club's season kicks off with the 6th running of the ASFA National Greyhound Specialty on Saturday, October 22. This year the national event will be held at its third Georgia venue, Chattahoochee Hills / Bouckaert Farm near Fairburn, Georgia just south of Atlanta. The beauty of this 8000 acre equestrian estate along 12 miles of the Chattahoochee River in Fulton County has to be seen to be believed -- the lure coursing field is almost 2 miles into the interior of the property !  This meeting is a must-enter for those Greyhound folks who want to test their dogs' mettle on the field instead of on paper and run against the best. More information and the premium list can be found at www.asfagreyhoundspecialty.com  and on the Specialty's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ASFANationalGreyhoundSpecialty

      The day after the National Specialty, October 23, will feature the 15th running of the Fullerton Cup for all sighthound breeds, lurchers and longdogs. Sanctioned by the National Lure Coursing Club, this meeting is named for the greatest Greyhound who ever coursed and honors the coursing traditions on which lure coursing is based. Also held at Bouckaert Farm, the Fullerton Cup promises an outstanding entry of Greyhounds who have come to Georgia for the Specialty, as well as a talented array of other sighthound breeds whose owners want to "experience the difference" of drag lure and NLCC brace elimination lure coursing. Event programs can be found in the Documents section of this site, the SEGC Web site at www.greyhoundadoption.org and at www.asfagreyhoundspecialty.com

            Programs for all trials will be posted as they become available to the Documents srction of this site and at www.greyhoundadoption.org , and additional information, results and photos can be found on the NLCC Facebook page at www.facebook.com/NationalLureCoursingClub
