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 awe-inspiring to watch your dog run at top speed, ears back, eyes focused, legs strong. These events are fun for your dogs and for your whole family. Please remember to bring another person along as this trial needs a Catcher and a Releaser! <a href="https://mjlrc.org/files/mjlrc_fast_cat_premium_april_2025_1.pdf">Click for Premium</a>
