responsibility, he/she has the authority to stop the lure in any potentially
dangerous situation and signal the handler to retrieve a testing dog.
Any decisions made by the event’s officiating judge(s) regarding the
performance of an entered dog shall be final. Full discretionary
power is given to the judge(s) to withhold any and all qualifications

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.
