清里・八ヶ岳 その1 - ルアーコーシング編 / Kiyosato Trip 1 - Lure Coursing
2009年 09月 16日
Went for a trip to the Kiyosato & Yatsugatake area! Part 1, lure coursing! Was blessed by great weather!
Islay eyeing the course! This was a lure-coursing Fun Day, and not a race. So there's no fixed order, you just let the dog run when you want to, any time you wish. Everyone helps clearing up the course after the day is over, and I helped out carrying the lure to the starting point on the bicycle too, it was fun! Nowadays, more and more serious racers are involved in the lure-coursing, and I am not the competitive type. I just want Islay to have fun and that's it, and a Fun Day like this, is something I prefer! So easy-going and fun, and no rivalry and all!
Had lunch at the cafeteria of the Takizawa Farm. Fried rice, with milk!

1. アイラのコーシング 後ろからのビュー
1. Islay chasing the lure - back view
2. 同じコースを戻ってくるアイラ(一人参加なので回収する人いないんで呼び戻し)
2. Islay running back to the starting point (coz no one's there to get her at the goal point!)
3. アイラ、ルアーを追いかけたと思ったら戻って来てしまった!(最初の走りで、ゴール地点に私がいない!って気付いてしまったからか?まあ、絵的に面白いけど!)
3. Islay first chasing the lure, but coming back half way (perhaps, after realizing that I'm not there at the goal point on her first run, she didn't feel confident of finishing the course?)
4. アイラのコーシング、前から。(前ので戻って来てしまったので、やはり私はゴールに行き、スターターはリン子さんにお願いしました。ありがとうございました!)
4. Islay lure coursing, from front. (Since she didn't make it in the last run, I waited for Islay at the goal point this time)
5. ボルゾイ の エルディス & リンディス の並走コーシング。かっこいい!
5. Borzoi duo, lure coursing at the same time. Cool!

There happened to be a booth selling USED clothes etc. And I found 2 wolf-design T-shirts! For only 500 yen each, such a good buy! So happy!
