Kayin

Begger's Can't be Choosers, FCh CD SC OA OAJ RN CGC TT VC

Kayin was obtained at the age of 10 weeks old from Ridgeback Rescue.

Kayin Earned His ASFA Lure Coursing Field Championship ( FCh title) at the age of 16 months old. To be a Champion it requires 100 points (points determined by the number of other ridgebacks you defeat). While earning these points you have to get at least one first placement and 2- second placements. Kayin did this in only 2.5 months of intermittent coursing. His winning run was in Indiana over 6 open (novice) ridgebacks and 7 field Champion ridgebacks. Kayin loves to run and practices on all the squirrels and chipmunks in my backyard.

Lure coursing is when 3 sighthounds (most often the same breed) run after a lure that is set up on a pully system in a large field. The lure zigs and zags around and the dogs are scored in their speed, endurance, agility, enthusiam, and follow. The judge can tell them apart by the 3 different coat colors they are assigned to wear, either pink, blue or yellow.
