FAST CAT The FAST CAT is a timed straight race of 100 yards where a dog chases a lure. Dogs are run singularly and earn points based on their handicapped speed. There are no placements. Titles are issued at designated benchmarks. The dog’s time to complete the 100 yard dash is converted into MPH. EARNING POINTS. A. The dog’s time to complete the 100 yard dash is converted into MPHs. Please see formula in Section 17. B. A handicap system is applied to a dog’s MPH to determine the number of points earned. The handicap system is based on the height of the dog at its withers: • 18" or greater = handicap is 1.0. • 12" up to less than 18" = handicap is 1.5. • Below 12" = handicap is 2.0. C. Points = mph multiplied by the dog’s handicap 100 YARD DASH TIME CONVERTED TO MILES PER HOUR. A dog’s 100 yard dash time must be converted into MPH using the formula below, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a mile: Example: The dog’s time is 8.14 seconds. 204.545 / 8.14 = 25.13 MPH Once the calculation is determined using the above formula, only then can rounding to the nearest hundredth take place. TITLES. Titles are earned by accumulating points. The following titles will be awarded: BCAT = 150 Points; DCAT = 500 points; FCAT = 1,000 points; and FCAT followed by a number (e.g. FCAT2) for every additional 500 points. These suffix titles will appear on a dog’s pedigree, with a higher level title superseding a lower level title. TOP 20 DOGS BY BREED BY YEAR. National rankings showing the top 20 fastest dogs by breed for a calendar year (as determined by the average speed of a dog’s top three runs in that year) will be maintained on the Fast CAT website. These rankings will be automatically updated as results are processed.. Fast CAT is open to all dogs 12 months of age or older that are individually registered/ listed with the AKC registration as purebreds, Foundation Stock Service (FSS) dogs, Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) dogs and AKC Canine.

Coursing is an athletic activity that can tax a dog’s physical strength. Dogs that are over- weight and/or out of condition may be at greater risk for injury and exhaustion. The Inspection Committee has the authority to disallow a dog’s entry into a test, and in such instances, applicable entry fees will be refunded.

TIPS FOR HANDLERS

• The field is fenced. However, it is strongly recommended that prior to running your dog,

you have good “recall” control over your dog, as the dogs will be off leash.

• Handlers should wear comfortable shoes and be physically able to hold and release their

dogs, as well as catch them.

• Dogs will be brought to the start line on leash and released only upon a verbal signal

(“Tally-Ho!”) from the Huntmaster. Dogs may be released by hand, folded leash or using

a traditional lure coursing slip lead.

• Handler should have someone familiar with the dog at the end of the

course to retrieve the dog or have someone else release their dog at the

start line. The handler is expected to promptly secure the dog and leave the

field with the dog on leash.

• Lure coursing is a physically demanding sport so please make sure your dog is in good

shape. If you are not sure, make an appointment with a veterinarian to get an opinion.

• Handlers are advised to warm up their dogs prior to their run and walk them for about

10 minutes afterwards.

• Any person, upon reasonable complaint, may be asked to leave the grounds of the test by

the Field Committee and may be disciplined by the AKC. Children must be under

control of their parents or guardian(s) at all times.

Neither Bluegrass Coursing Club, Speed Dog Coursing, GANG, Sound Dog

Training nor their members or volunteers, will be responsible for any

accidents at this trial.
