Fast Cat and Lure Coursing:
Fast CAT® – which stands for Coursing Ability Test – is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs run one at a time, chasing a lure. It’s over before you know it — and it’s nothing short of awe-inspiring to watch your dog run at top speed, ears back, eyes focused, legs strong.
The American Kennel Club introduced the Coursing Ability Title (CAT) open to all breeds in order to provide owners and dogs an entry onto the sport of lure coursing. It is a sport originally intended for Sight Hounds, but with this new title, the AKC has opened the way for all of us to enjoy this fast, non-competitive sport with our dogs. The dogs chase a lure around a designated track and must complete the course within a set amount of time. Dogs run individually and the course is a simple pass/fail.
