No experience/no training is needed to enter -- if your dog(s) love to chase bunnies or other things, they will probably love Fast CAT!! And the track is completely fenced in. Mixed Breed Dogs welcome!
"What is Fast CAT® – which stands for Coursing Ability Test (FCAT) – is a relatively new sport by AKC. Dogs run one at a time, over a timed 100-yard dash chasing a lure, and get AKC titles based upon points earned. Points are earned based upon a combination of miles per hour and handicap. Handicap is based upon the height of the dog. FCAT 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."
