Practice, practice, everywhere!
Whether you have young dogs to train or experienced dogs to get back in condition for the start of racing and lure coursing season, now is your chance! In the greater NW – from WWRC in the Portland area to WWWA and TPIHC in Western Washington to BCWRC and RFF in the lower mainland BC – there is practice somewhere (and often multiple locations) every weekend through nearly the end of March!
For more information about these practice opportunities, see the Calendar and click on the PINK practice listings (or try this neat trick: click on the down arrow button on the upper right corner of the calendar, and uncheck all the boxes except “Practic” to filter the calendar to just display practices) and then on the “more details” link. Please contact the appropriate club members listed for more information about each practice.

1/8/2010 UPDATE: RESCHEDULED TO SATURDAY JAN. 23!
There will be a CCC lure coursing practice on Saturday Jan. 9th Jan 23, 2010 at Meadowbrook Farms in North Bend WA. Registration will begin at 12:30 with runs beginning at 12:45 pm. Club members who are willing to help set up please arrive a little early. Cost is $5.00 per vehicle for field use plus $5.00 per dog (non-members) each dog will get two practice runs; you may separate your two runs or do your runs back to back. Additional runs may be purchased if time allows. This practice will be on focus training, so the practice runs will be straight runs only.

See you on the field!

11/19 update: Well I guess I spoke too soon. We have had another 2″ of rain this am & more to come this evening & overnight. The track is 75% under water & despite digging diversion ditches all morning, water is still rising. I estimate we need 24 hrs without rain to get the water away & I don’t see that happening, so reluctantly we will have to cancel the meet at this early stage.Thank you all for your original entries.
