How Fast Is YOUR Dog? Let’s test it.
CAT, or Coursing Ability Test, is an exciting sport for dogs that love to run and chase!
Fast CAT is a timed 100-yard dash, where dogs run one at a time after a lure. This fast-paced event has grown in popularity, offering titles and the chance to rank among the top 20 fastest dogs in your breed.
CAT features a 300- or 600-yard course that dogs must complete within 1 ½ minutes or 2 minutes, respectively. This event also offers a titling program for dedicated competitors.
If your dog enjoys running and chasing, CAT and Fast CAT are the perfect sports to try!
Both purebreds and mixed breed dogs can join in the fun. Be sure to check out information about eligibility at the bottom of this page.
