Coursing Ability Test Rules (CAT) The Coursing Ability Test is an introductory event fashioned after the sport lure coursing. It will provide a fun and healthy activity attractive to many dog owners. The following is a summary of how the event is structured: 1. Non-competitive pass/fail event fashioned after the sport of lure coursing. 2. Dogs run singularly. 3. Open to all dogs at least 12 months of age that are individually registered with the AKC, recorded in the FSS Program, dogs with PAL numbers or dogs enrolled in the AKC Canine Partners program. Females in season may not enter. A dog may enter only once per event (an event is defined by an event number) 4. Course distance/course design: Dogs under 12 at the withers and/or brachycephalic ( flat-faced ) dogs = approx. 300 yards. Dogs over 12 at the withers that are not brachycephalic dogs = approx. 600 yards. If there is a question whether a dog should run 300 or 600 yards, the judge will decide. The course will be basically rectangular in shape with turns no more acute than 90 degrees. Safety is of utmost importance. Since many of the dogs running will not be as agile as a sighthound, this must be a consideration in the design of the course. 5. An inspection committee shall inspect each entry for lameness, fitness to compete and females in season. 6. Pass: The dog must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within a stated maximum amount of time. Max time: 600 yards-2 minutes; 300 yards-1-1/2 minutes. The maximum time is not meant to be difficult to achieve. It is meant to prevent a dog that walks the course from passing. 7. To earn a suffix title: Three passes = Coursing Ability (CA); Ten passes = Coursing Ability Advanced (CAA); Twenty five passes = Coursing Ability Excellent (CAX); fifty passes = CAX2; a higher numbered title will be awarded for every additional twenty five passes. Coursing Ability Test. Clubs will be limited to holding eight Tests per calendar year. A club may not hold more than two Coursing Ability Tests on the same day. At some point after the initial startup period, any club licensed to hold companion events may apply to become licensed to hold Coursing Ability Tests. 9. A Coursing Ability Test can be either a stand-alone test or an event with a limited number of entries that follows a LC event. The Coursing Ability Test must be applied for as a separate event with its own event number. 10. Judge eligibility: Any AKC approved LC judge can judge a Coursing Ability Test. 8. All licensed LC clubs will automatically be licensed to hold a
