Exciting weekend on field lure coursing for Pre in Socal! He won BOB for his first major on Saturday and pulled off such a strong run for BIF that he tied the whippet forcing a BIF runoff. The whippet came out ahead but super proud of my big red boy for sticking with a great running racewhippet. On Sunday, Prefontaine ran like his namesake Risa won specials and Pre won open so the two faced off for breed and although it was really a nice run for both of them in terms of agility, Pre powered down the stretch at the end and won breed for his second major (5pt!). He went on to run for best in field with excellent endurance even though it was his 9th run of the weekend! There were some excellent runners and it was very close between the racewhippet and pharaoh who were outstanding, but PRE WON HIS FIRST BEST IN FIELD!!!!!! GOOOOOOO PRE!!! Thank you to judges Mary Hermon and Linda D'Antonio and the OCRRClub for a fun-filled weekend
My little red rocket, Risa (GChB DC Kamars Final Laugh LCX2) finished NUMBER 1 AKC LURE COURSING IBIZAN HOUND in the United States for 2016!
I love watching this pup fly across the field with a huge smile on her face. Thank you to her breeder, Katie Belz, whose planning and foresight created this little red creature. I also want to thank Justin Dannenbring who is so dedicated to lure coursing and the pups who love it, and has been a great friend and coursing mentor to Risa and me!

I am so proud of my little red dog, Risa! She earned her AKC Bronze Grand Championship Title this weekend at just over 3 years of age. It is always a joy to show her as she floats effortlessly around the ring with her whip tail shimmying back and forth as she struts her stuff.
Hart hounds had an eventful week at the Greeley Colorado Hound Specialty. Risa came out of the gate with a bang and won Best of Breed over a huge entry of ibizan hounds the first day! Pre won puppy sweepstakes his first day of showing ever and went reserve WD. The second day, Pre really strutted his stuff and won Best of Winners for his first MAJOR! He also won Best Puppy! Risa showed really well too and won Select. The third day was Carmen's day to shine and she won select expertly handled by Libbie, while Pre went reserve WD again. The final day of the show, Risa ended on a bang and won BOS. Baby Puck stole hearts and enjoyed lots of cuddle time at the show as well. What a fantastic weekend of showing and seeing friends at a beautiful site!
Risa celebrated her third birthday on the lure coursing field by winning BEST IN FIELD! She also enjoyed a minnie mouse birthday with pink cookies with all her coursing friends.
The Hart hounds had a far out time at Woofstock! After three days of showing, Carmen ended up with two selects and Risa one select. The best part was getting to hang out with good friends and enjoy a really groovy summer show!
Sunday Silverado Hound Specialty was a blast! Carmen won BOS, thank you Libbie for connecting with crazy Carmencita! Risa won select! The girls went on to win best brace in breed. The day ended even better with Carmen and Risa winning Best Brace in Show!!!!!!!!!
It was Carmen's day to shine today at the Silverado Hound specialty. She won select and looked so pretty. Thanks Shawna for showing Carmencita! Risa and Carmen won best brace in breed as well.
Great day at the Hound Classic Ibizan Specialties in Silverado! Risa won award of merit in the morning and select in the afternoon!
Risa defends her title at the 2016 Hound Classic Specialty Best in Event lure trial today. With an entry of 71 consisting of Ibizan Hounds, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Whippets, and Pharaoh Hounds, Risa came out on top for the 2nd year in a row.
