responsibility, he/she has the authority to stop the lure in any potentially
dangerous situation and signal the handler to retrieve a testing dog.

compliance with the AKC Regulations on the field.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ABOUT CAT RUNS
WHAT MUST MY DOG DO TO PASS THE C.A.T.? The Coursing Ability Test
(C.A.T.) is a pass/fail test. In order to pass, the dog must chase the plastic lure, and
complete the course 1 time, by itself, with enthusiasm and without interruption
within the maximum amount of time. The judge keeps the official time and decides
the merits of the dog’s performance. If there is a question which course a dog
should run, the judge will decide.
DOGS LESS THAN 12” TALL & “FLAT FACED” DOGS*. Any entrant that
is less than 12” tall at the withers and/or brachycephalic (bulldog) will run a clearly
marked 300-yard course that is basically rectangular in shape with turns no more

more acute than 90 degrees. For a 600-yard course, a dog must complete the test in
less than 2 minutes.
