From start to finish, we’ve got you covered.

Come Run with Us

Black Knights Coursing specializes in operating lure coursing events featuring the AKC CAT and Fast CAT® tests for dogs of all breeds. Dogs chase an artificial lure called (a plastic bag, called a “bunny”) tied to a string and pulled by an electric motor. Dogs compete with their best time from previous runs, not with each other.

 

Think your dog has what it takes? There’s only one way to find out, and it will be lots of fun!

Coursing Ability Test (CAT)

The Coursing Ability Test was designed with canine competitor safety in mind and your dog does not complete with another dogs in any AKC CAT tests. Dogs run individually for a 300- to 600- yard course and must finish the test within 90 seconds to 2 minutes respectively. The key difference is the CAT course is designed with twists and turns for your dog to anticipate movement of a live lure, without endangering a live animal.

Fast Coursing Ability Test

(Fast CAT®)

Fast CAT is a wildly popular sport and dogs can’t get enough of the fun! It’s like drag racing for dogs. This is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs run one at a time, chasing the “bunny” in a sprint to the finish line. Imagine the thrill of your dog running at top speed, ears back, eyes focused, legs churning, and oh-my-dog the running faces! Wait until you see photographs of your dog running Fast CAT.

I’m so grateful to be a part of this Fast CAT family. We’ve made so many friends along our journey this past year. Thank you Black Knights Coursing for everything you do to put on these events!
