Ever wonder just how fast your dog may be?
Moore County Kennel Club now hosts Coursing Ability Tests, or “CAT.”
Fast CAT is a timed 100-yard dash. Dogs run one at a time, chasing a lure. It has become very popular! You can earn titles and even vie to become one of the 20 fastest dogs by your breed.
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.
A CAT is a 300- or 600-yard long course, which dogs must finish in less that 1 1/2 minutes and 2 minutes respectively.
