Fast CAT

If you think your dog is fast. Have you ever wondered how fast? Some dogs have been clocked at almost 28 mph – yet dogs have been known to reach speeds of 35-45 mph.

Well, you no longer have to wonder how fast your dog can run. 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 inspiring to watch your dog run at top speed. And if your dog is really fast, you might earn bragging rights if their name makes onto AKC’s list of top 20 fastest dogs by breed! All dogs can participate in Fast CAT, whether purebred or mixed breed.

Although it is a relatively new sport, its popularity has spread like wildfire. According to one AKC official, “The Fast CAT® provides a terrific opportunity to introduce new participants to the world of AKC sports as one of the few events where all that is needed to compete is a dog’s natural instincts.”

Lebanon County Kennel Club partnered with Harrisburg KC and Chambersburg Area KC on October 16th through October 20th, 2024. We had a wonderful turnout and we want to thank all the participants, members, and helpers for their extra hands when needed.

Below are some pics and a video from the Lebanon County KC trial.
