The QLD weather was absolutely perfect today for the Veterans Lure Pursuit Test! 7 dogs were the first in Australia to earn the Lure Pursuit Title (LP CH.). Fitting for Qld dogs since ANKC Lure Coursing was started up here!

A massive thank you to our QLD Lure Coursing representative Gaille Perry, who never gave up and fought hard for the LP Champ title!

A big thank you to Penny Parker who captured all the fantastic runs this morning!

Some absolutely brilliant runs were done by the oldies and all walk away winners with big grins!

Now to quell the rumours…
We will be running the normal Lure Coursing Sanctioned Events from now on, this was the only Lure Pursuit Test we are running, the new rules allow for a 500m course for LP dogs and min. 600m for SH, one course only per trial.
We knew there were a number of oldies who had well and truly earnt their LP CH. title but needed that one pass after 1st Jan 2026. We ran an easy 500m course today designed to be fair on the older bodies. QLD weather is unpredictable and we did not think we would be able to accomodate all the LP dogs in QLD and complete a trial so went with Veterans only.
All dogs were strictly monitored and walked on and off the course (well except after the 2nd run, some earnt being carried off and cuddled but were sound prior to being picked up).

Please celebrate the dogs who have competed a long time in Lure Coursing, the dogs who have completed 24 plus (some 40+) courses, most when the passing score was 160pts or higher.

Some information about Lure Coursing in Qld and the people behind it!

Have you ever wondered who your Dogs Queensland Lure Coursing Subcommittee are and their experience? We will do a meet the members over the off season to introduce them all!

Starting with Leah Perry!
Most of you know Leah as the person who gives briefings, runs the lure, and generally is always found working hard at events!

Leah Perry is one of the founding ANKC judges for Lure Coursing here in Australia as well as founding Lure Operators.

Her involvement in Lure Coursing began in Texas USA in 2009, attending countless Lure Coursing trials over the 2.5 years that she was there, and her dog “Badger” (Neut Ch MBIF Wildhare Simply Scherzando SC imp USA) achieved the ranking of 18 out of all whippets in lure coursing in USA. Leah had the honour to begin her love of running the lure with lure operation tutelage under Mr Frank Zaworski who was one of the founding members of ASFA as well as Sherita Hogan and Jeff Lipps.

Leah returned to Australia bringing Badger with her. The very first working party meeting to establish Lure Coursing in Australia in 2011 took place around Leah’s dining room table with Ian Rasmussen, Christine Stevens, Kaye Dorr, Jacky Harnett and Susan McDonald in attendance. The working party were tireless in their efforts to bring Lure Coursing to Australia. It was accepted at the national level and the inception of Queensland Sighthound Association (QSA) being the first social club to host Lure Coursing in the country. Badger was given dispensation to go straight into the open stream as he already had recognised international titles.

In 2012/2013 she began the refinement of her lure operation skills under Mr Craig McDonald. When Craig stepped back from Lure Coursing, Leah was the sole person responsible for lure operation following. Even when Badger retired, Leah still turned up to every single trial and was part of the process from setting the field, running the lure and then pulling down the field. Leah wrote the training program for aspiring judges and lure operators and has been involved in the training of new lure operators with each new intake since the training program started.

Leah has held committee positions as well as being the President of QSA for the past 7 years as well as President of the Whippet Club of Qld for the latter and now President of SprintDog™ Club of Queensland.

To date, Leah is the longest standing ANKC lure operator here in Australia and while she doesn’t believe in self-promotion, the Subcommittee feel it is important her achievements and commitment to Lure Coursing and SprintDog™️ is recognised. Leah’s ability to read dogs out on the field for Lure Coursing as well as now on the SprintDog™ track we feel is unmatched.

Below with her beloved boy, Badger!
