396.ROSE HILLS JUST A LIL NIP TUCK7-9-22 Anubis has earned his BCAT title.
Anubis lives in PA with his owner, Alyesha Carr. They are currently doing *Fast CAT (Coursing Ability Test) and we hope to see a new Fast CAT Champion this year.
Anubis is clear by parentage (CBP) for PLL, PRA-PRCD, DM, vWD and IVDD. His parents are also Cardiac and Patella normal.
* What is Fast CAT you ask?
It is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs run one at a time, chasing a lure.
Fast CAT is 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. A dog may enter only once per event. (An event is defined by an event number.) Females in season may not enter. Dogs requiring registry in Canine Partners must be spayed or neutered and are subject to a separate registration fee of $35.00 to the AKC.
How Does a Fast CAT Work?
1. Fast CAT is a timed straight race of 100 yards.
2. Dogs run singularly.
3. The dog’s time to complete the 100 yd dash is converted into mph
4. A handicap system is applied to a dog’s MPH to determine the number of points earned. The handicap system is based on the height of the dog at its withers:
a) 18” or greater = handicap is 1.0
b) 12” up to less than 18” = handicap is 1.5
c) Below 12” = handicap is 2.0
5. Points = MPH multiplied by the dog’s handicap
6. Fast CAT suffix titles are earned at designated milestones:
a) BCAT = 150 points
b) DCAT = 500 points
c) FCAT = 1,000 points
d) FCAT# = every additional 500 points
7. Timing Devices: The time to complete the 100-yard dash is recorded
to the nearest 1/100th of a second (e.g. 9.11).
* The Club putting on the event uses break---the---beam equipment to obtain the time but may use stopwatches. If stopwatches are used, there shall be two timers positioned at the finish line. An individual at the start line shall signal with an arm drop the moment the nose of the dog crosses the start line. The timers shall start their stopwatches at the bottom of the arm drop. The timers shall stop their watches when the nose of the dog crosses the finish line. The times from the two stopwatches shall be averaged to determine the recorded time.
8. The area being used for the course is fenced.
