Cascade Coursing Club was founded in 1998 with the purpose of providing American Kennel Club Lure Coursing events in the greater Seattle, Washington area.  We are strongly dedicated to training all Sighthounds and their owners for safe and successful participation in the sport. We hold regular training sessions, called workouts, in the Snoqualmie Valley east of Seattle, and our lure coursing trials have also been held in this area, not far from highway I-90.

Lure Coursing as a competitive dog sport is over 30 years old in the USA, and 12 Sighthound breeds are eligible to compete and earn the AKC recognized titles of Junior Courser, Senior Courser, Field Champion and Lure Courser Excellent.  These titles in their abbreviated form of JC, SC, FC ,MX, and LCX become part of the hound's name, are entered in the American Kennel Club stud book as part of the hound's permanent record and become part of the hound's official pedigree.

Lure Coursing is wonderful fun for both owner and hound and gives the hound an opportunity to satisfy the basic urge to hunt with no live "prey" involved.  We invite you and your hounds to join us in training and in trials.
