Fast CAT
How Fast is Your Dog… Really?
Sure, you think your dog is quick—but have you ever measured just how fast? Could they outrun Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world? Believe it or not, they might. Bolt’s top speed is around 28 mph… yet dogs have been clocked at 35–45 mph.

Enter Fast CAT
Fast CAT—short for Coursing Ability Test—is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs run one at a time, chasing a lure. It’s over in seconds, but watching your dog in full sprint—ears back, eyes locked, legs pumping—is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Bragging Rights Included
If your dog is lightning-fast, they could earn a spot on the AKC Top 20 Fastest Dogs by Breed list. That’s the kind of thing you’ll casually mention at every dinner party for years.
Who Can Participate?
Fast CAT is open to all dogs, purebred or mixed breed. The only exception? Bitches in season need to sit this one out.
