The American Kennel Club’s lure coursing sports program is based upon the ancient sport of live game coursing. The sport of lure coursing has a long history dating back more than five millennia. Stone carvings on obelisks and paintings in Egyptian tombs can be found which illustrate the hunting of gazelle with long-legged hounds. Sighthounds, like the Afghan Hound and Azawakh, the Saluki and Sloughi, have been used for thousands of years to chase, take down and kill gazelle and other game.

I occasionally get requests from readers to write about a particular topic. And so it was this one came in, suggesting I write about tails. “For example,” she wrote, “my breed says tail to be carried from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock with no preference, but the reality is if a tail is carried lower than high noon the dog is ignored. I’ve seen judges measure length of hair on the tail, or how long a docked tail is. My point is in most standards, or many, tails are only 5% of the standard. So in my book, judges shouldn’t be so nit picky about them.”
