What is Fast CAT?

Fast CAT is one of the fastest-growing sports in the AKC. CAT stands for Coursing Ability Test, and the “fast” highlights the thrilling speed of the event. Watch the dogs eagerly waiting for their turn—jumping, barking, and focused on the moving target ahead. That target? A simple white plastic bag.

But it’s not just any bag. It’s attached to a pulley system and races down a 100-yard straight track at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. It may not be a real rabbit, but most dogs are more than ready to What chase it.

Ready to give it a try? Your dog probably is!
