Bitches in season and lame dogs will be refused entry and, if presented at inspection, will be refunded entry fees. Mixed breeds must be spayed or neutered to be eligible to run. AKC registered dogs with breed disqualifications may be entered. Coursing is an athletic activity that can tax a dog s physical strength.

Battery powered, continuous loop lure machines will be used. The lure will consist of white plastic strips. Backup equipment will be available. Exhibitors should follow their veterinarian s recommendation to assure their dogs are free of parasites, any communicable diseases and have appropriate vaccinations.

Full discretionary power is given to the judge(s) to withhold any and all qualifications for lack of merit. The Judge(s) is responsible for ensuring compliance with the AKC Regulations on the field.

6 FAQ WHAT MUST MY DOG DO TO PASS THE C.A.T.? The Coursing Ability Test (C.A.T.) is a pass/fail test wherein all entrants always run singly. This is to say they run once, and they run alone. Because safety is of the utmost importance, the C.A.T. takes into consideration the individual dog pursuing qualification and therefore has two different course lengths to accommodate the type and size of the entrant. In either case, dogs will chase a lure made of plastic strips. DOGS LESS THAN 12 TALL & FLAT FACED DOGS. Any entrant that is less than 12 tall at the withers and/or brachycephalic will run a clearly marked 300-yard course that is basically rectangular in shape with turns no more acute than 90 degrees. For a 300-yard course, a dog must complete the test in less than 1 ½ minutes. All dogs in this class will be wicketed. DOGS MORE THAN 12 TALL. Any entrant that is taller than 12 at the withers and not brachycephalic (flat faced) shall run a clearly marked 600-yard course (or as close to 600 yards as possible) that is basically rectangular in shape with turns no more acute than 90 degrees. For a 600-yard course, a dog must complete the test in less than 2 minutes. In order to pass, the dog must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within the maximum amount of time for the course length. 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. CAN MY DOG EARN AN AKC TITLE FOR COURSING ABILITY? Three titles will be awarded for dogs that pass the Coursing Ability Test the required number of times. These are suffix titles that will appear on a dog s pedigree with a higher-level title superseding a lower level title. Coursing Ability (CA) Awarded to a dog that passes the Coursing Ability Test three times under at least two different judges. Coursing Ability Advanced (CAA) Dog passes the Coursing Ability Test ten times. FOR FIRST TIME COURSERS AND HANDLERS (and a good reminder to all) WHAT ARE PRE-ENTRIES? ~ Entries made before the closing date. However even if your entry is mailed in time yet due to the failure of the postal service, it is not received in time for the Test Secretary to have it at the Event, then you will have to fill out day of entry forms on the day of the trial. Always have your dog's registration materials with you when you go to a test. SLIP LEADS ~ There is a type of collar for coursing called a slip lead, which is worn only to control the dog prior to "release". The collar drops away as the dog is released to chase the lure and they run without anything around their necks that could be dangerous. *NO CHOKE COLLARS ARE ALLOWED DURING TESTING* *NO PRONG COLLARS OF ANY KIND ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE ON SITE* *ENTRIES MAY WEAR A FLAT COLLAR WITH NO TAGS* *NO FLEXI-LEADS ALLOWED ANYWHERE ON SITE* INSPECTION Dogs will be inspected by a designated Inspection Committee consisting of at least two persons who are members of the Field Committee and who shall inspect each entered dog for lameness, fitness to compete and female estrus (in season). Inspection shall take place prior to any form of wrapping being applied to the dog. In the opinion of the Inspection Committee, any entry found to be lame, unfit to compete or in season shall not be allowed to enter and the applicable entry fees shall be refunded. ROLL CALL Is the time, prior to the commencement of coursing, by which you are supposed to have your dog ready for inspection by the Inspection Committee. At roll call the dog is examined for lameness, and breed disqualifications (where applicable). Bitches are examined to see if they show any evidence of being in season. After roll call the list of passed hounds is taken to the Field Test Secretary so that the run order can be prepared. Coursing Ability Excellent (CAX) Dog passes the Coursing Ability Test 25 times. Coursing Ability Excellent 2 (CAX2) Dog passes the Coursing Ability Test 50 times. A higher numbered title will be awarded for every additional 25 passes. CAT regulations can be found at RUN ORDER LIST ~ this is a posted list of the running order for the dogs participating in the event. ~ Always check the record sheet after the Roll Call to confirm your dog s Run Order.
