🐇 What is Coursing?
Unlike traditional track racing, coursing is not run on an oval circuit. Instead, an artificial hare is pulled over a distance of approximately 700 meters across meadow and natural terrain.
It is not only about speed, but above all about:
- Agility
- Responsiveness
- Endurance
- Hunting instinct
The dogs usually run in pairs and are evaluated by experienced performance judges.
👥 Spectators Welcome
The Verbandssieger Coursing offers exciting dog sport in a nature-oriented setting. Visitors can follow the runs from a safe distance and gain insight into the world of sighthound sports.
