free of hip and elbow dysplasia.

The American Sighthound Field Association is the originator of this sport. Lure coursing stimulates and tests your dog's natural
hunting and chasing instincts, but is a bloodless sport. Click here to learn more about this fun sport.

testing of purebred and spayed/neutered mixed-breed dogs. I think everyone should get their Ridgeback temperament tested.
