About Lure Coursing

An event typically reserved for sighthounds, more and more Westies are getting in on the fun.  The dogs chase an artificial lure in an open field and are judged on the dog's overall ability, speed, endurance, agility, and how well they follow the lure.  Non-sighthounds may pass their Coursing Ability Test (CAT), and ten qualifying scores in a CAT result in eligibility for Coursing Ability Advanced (CAA). 

More information about Lure Coursing is available on the AKC Website.
