Alisa came to us at 8 weeks old. She was born in  Georgia. I was looking for a ridgeless puppy because I do not want to be involved with conformation shows.
As a ridgeless ridgeback Alisa is in title to compete in Agility, Rally, Obedience, herding, oval racing - NOTRA, straight racing – LGRA and Lure Coursing in singe stakes.
As one of eligible sighhounds, Alisa can participate in LGRA (Large Gazehound Racing Association) or 200 yards straight racing and/or NOTRA (National Oval Track Racing Association) – 360 meter oval racing competition. Both of these types of racing events start with the dog breaking from a metal box with 4 slots These boxes are very small – dog can barely turn inside. When the boxes open – it makes a very loud and scary bang which can be very intimidating for dogs that are new to the sport. Alisa was scared coming out of the box and would look for her mom instead of racing down the track. We tried to help her out with food and boxes practice – no difference. We failed about six times in LGRA competition before I thought about brining my dog to the Lure Coursing Practice and introduce her to the Racing Sport without any distraction.She did great at the practice! She was shaking and screaming – “Give me the bunny!” We practiced a couple times before I put her back to competition.Now that she knows what this game is all about – she could care less about box! The practice helps her adjust to the box and figure out that the way to the “bunny” is through the box.
