Fast CAT, a timed 100-yard dash where a dog chases a lure, is the newest AKC event. It is a fun and healthy activity for dogs and their owners that answers the intriguing question – how fast can my dog run? In competition, the dogs run one at a time over a straight 100-yard course. Their times are then converted into miles per hour and used as part of a handicap system to assign points earned, which will be used to determine titles and standings.
