The Thrill Of The ChaseTerriers impress the Sighthound community by staying the course!

text by Sarah Frostphotos by Clark Kranz

unless otherwise noted.

The word is getting out about the AKC Coursing Ability

Test (CAT). This fledgling sport, with it’s origins in Lure

Coursing is gaining popularity, and dog lovers are enjoying

watching their dogs tapping into their instincts, and doing

what comes naturally.

The AKC introduced the Coursing Ability Test on February

of 2011. This performance event offers the opportunity to earn

3 titles in escalating order of difficulty. CA (Coursing Ability)

requires 3 successful legs, CAA (Coursing Ability Advanced)

requires 10 and CAX (Coursing Ability Excellent) requires 25

runs. Thereafter, each additional 25 successful legs will result

in a number after the CAX title, the first being CAX2

Lure Coursing has long been the domain of the

Sighthounds. Sighthounds instinctively hunt over large open

areas using keen vision and incredible speed to intercept their

prey, as opposed to their hound group counterparts, who

hunt using their sense of smell.

Much like Earthdog, Coursing Trials create a controlled

way to test a dog’s ability and desire to pursue prey. The

CAT test is very similar to the AKC’s entry level coursing test

for “Junior Coursers.” To obtain their JC title Sighthounds are

required to run 600 yards with 4 turns. Their performance

is evaluated on 5 specific criteria, Speed, Agility, Endurance,

Follow and Overall Ability. Unlike CAT, JC doesn’t require

the dog to complete the course in a specific amount of time.

Since speed is not the only prerequisite, it’s quite possible for

a Basenji to out score a Greyhound, who will win judged on

speed every time.

The CAT test, is open to all dogs of 12 months and older,

this includes purebred dogs, mixed breeds recorded in the

FSS Program, dogs enrolled in the AKC Canine Partners pro-

gram and dogs with PAL numbers. There is no restriction on

spayed, neutered animals, however bitches in season are not

permitted to compete.

The test is divided into two distances. Dogs under 12” at

the withers and/or brachial cephalic (flat faced) are required

to run 300 yards in 1.5 minutes. This means that even large

dogs like Boxers run a shorter distance than their smaller

counterparts with longer snouts. Dogs over 12” at the withers,

which describes our Fox Terriers, have to pursue the lure with

enthusiasm and without interruption for 600 yards, in a time

of 2 minutes or less. The test is non-competitive and the dog

will either pass or fail.

What should you expect on the day of the test? Shortly

after “Roll Call” a precursory examination of the participating

dogs is performed by a club designated Inspection commit-

tee. A dog is required to jog a ‘down and back’ to be assessed

for soundness of movement. Any display of lameness the dog

will be excused from Coursing. Bitches are also examined

to see if they are in season. If a club holds an event with the

maximum two tests in one day, usually the participants will

be inspected a second time. Quite often the dogs can take a


tumble while Coursing and this can result in injury, so these

examinations are made for the health and well being of each

dog.

It’s my belief that dogs will find their feet with repetition.

Those with experience seem to know how to focus ahead

but remain sure-footed, whereas dogs new to the sport are

so giddy with enthusiasm that they have little feel for the ter-

rain they are negotiating and as a consequence can take a

tumble. Older dogs can run if you think they are physically

able to handle the terrain without getting injured. Mary Lynn

Machado’s 11 year old Smooth, “Casey” Ch Windfall Thomas

Crown Affair ME has reignited her competitive spirit and

needs just one more qualifying run for her title.

During the test dogs are required to pursue a lure made

from a series of 3 (usually white) plastic bags, much like

kitchen garbage bags. The series of bags is used to emulate

a line of rabbits running in the wild. My Wires competed in

a CAT test in New Mexico in March. The morning run was

in full snow cover and the bags were switched from white to

black for better visibility. After the midday sun, much of the

snow had melted and a combination of colors were used.

The bags are secured to a nylon string that runs along the

ground and through a series of brass or plastic spools. The

placement of the spools creates the corners of the course and

keeps the line running freely between points. A generator is

used to propel the line in a continuous circuit. This minimizes

the turn around time for each competitor.

The speed the bags travel is controlled by the lure opera-

tor who, usually stands on top of a ladder or scaffold in order

to keep the lure a tantalizing distance ahead of each dog

participating. Operating the lure is quite an art, as each dog

runs at a different speed with varying levels of stamina.

On the field during a test, is a registered AKC Lure

Coursing judge and a Hunt Master, who is the master of

ceremonies for the event. The Hunt Masters job is to com-

municate between the judge, lure operator and handler to

make sure every one is ready for the dog’s release. You will

be required to remove your dog’s collar and leash, or use

a slip leash release. It is a rule that dogs must run naked.

Much to the amusement of non Terrier owners, a firm grasp

at the base of a Fox Terriers tails makes the perfect restrain-

ing device. This is a standard feature on most Terriers and

something that Sighthounds don’t come equipped with.

When everyone is ready the Lure is set into motion

and the Hunt Master will shout “Tally-Ho.” This your cue

to release your dog. The origin of the expression “Tally-ho”

dates back to around 1772, and is probably derived from the

French word Taïaut or Tayaut. This was a cry used to excite

hounds when hunting deer, and loosely means “The game’s

afoot.”

If your Fox Terrier stays on the lure for the full 600 yards,

they’ll usually be delivered back to the release point by the

looped layout of the course. You’ll be asked by the Hunt

Master to retrieve your dog once the lure has come to a halt.

Some Terriers are so focussed on the lure they pounce

on their prey when it slows to a stop, as a consequence they

are easy to retrieve. Others become disinterested if the

lure stops moving, and can sometimes keep going for an

impromptu run around. In the Sighthound world Pharaoh

Hounds are notoriously difficult to retrieve, as they are

eager for the fun and games to continue.

For those who are curious Fox Terriers are averaging

a time of 54 seconds on the 600 yard course, which is

approximately 23 miles per hour. As a comparison, the

mighty Greyhound completes 600 yards at an average

speed of 38 miles per hour!

One of my main concerns before my dogs had tried this

sport was “What if they run away, what if they won’t come

back???” I have to say with great pride that Fox Terriers

quite often make better Sighthounds than Sighthounds.

The first Wire to run a successful leg was Lexi JE She has now competed her CAA and is working towards her CAX.

11 year old Smooth, “Casey” Ch Windfall Thomas Crown Affair ME gets in on the action.

Hanabi is close to nabbing her prey.


They possess a natural gaminess and desire to pursue, so 9

times out of 10 they are so focussed on the lure that nothing

else exists to them at the time they are competing.

I’ve participated in CAT events in 4 States, and each event

all hands are on deck if a dog gets lose. You’re in safe hand

within the CAT community, so please don’t let this deter you

from trying.

The other common concern is that Fox Terriers will show

no interest in pursuing a plastic trash bag. Initially I thought

this was lunacy, and that if they switched the lure to a badger

pelt, or a rag soaked in “Rat Tea”, then we may be in busi-

ness. However, I was wrong! It’s clear the dogs competing

are responding to visual stimuli, scent doesn’t enter in to the

equation. This is a sport about a visual pursuit, something

that is hard-wired in Sighthounds, and appears to be second

nature to our keen sighted Terriers

The man responsible for expanding the sport of Lure

Coursing to accommodate all breeds, Is Bob Mason. Bob is

the current AKC Staff Liaison for the Lure Coursing Advisory

committee, and has been a Lure coursing enthusiast since

the 1970s. Over the years Bob has been a frequent par-

ticipant, competing with his own Italian Greyhounds and

Salukis. During his tenure at the AKC, he was approached by

numerous owners who had Sighthounds who didn’t qualify

to participate, but still had the desire to Course. To be eli-

gible to enter an AKC Lure-Coursing event Sighthounds must

comply with their respective conformation breed standards.

Any conformation disqualifications bar them from coursing.

For example, a ridge less Rhodesian Ridgeback, a blue-eyed

Whippet, or a Sloughi with white marks on the neck, the

head and at the tip of the tail may not participate.

Bob soon realized that the sport of Coursing should be

expanded so it could be enjoyed not only by the ineligible

Sighthounds but indeed by all breeds.

The very first AKC sanctioned Coursing Ability Tests took

place on Wednesday Feb. 23 through February 27, 2011, in

Calhoun, Georgia, hosted by the Bluegrass Coursing Club.

The five day event had an entry of 158 dogs with a phenom-

enal 75 percent qualification rate, but alas no Fox Terriers

were present on this maiden voyage. The first dog ever

recorded to pass a CAT leg was Rivendel’s Bea-Dazzled RE

JE a West Highland White Terrier.

The first Fox Terrier to run a qualifying leg was a Smooth

called T-N-T Lil’ Street Walker CDX RA MX MXJ XF owned

by Barbara Krynski. This AKC first took place on Sunday,

September 11 2011 at Windchasers Lure Coursing Club, in

Hobart, Indiana. Sadly I have seen no record of this dog run-

ning another 2 successful legs to obtain a title.

The first Wire to run a successful leg was Lexi JE, owned

by Jillian Miller, at an event hosted by the California Coursing

Association, in Chino , California on Saturday, July 9, 2011

Jillian is an Earthdog judge and a very valuable member

of the Western Fox Terrier Breeders Association, heading up

the clubs rescue efforts. Lexi is not a conformation dog, but

she exemplifies the correct Terrier temperament, titling in

two working disciplines. She has now competed her CAA

and is working towards her CAX.

The first Fox Terriers to title were Wires. Fyrewyre’s

Berried Treasure BN RE and Antitiem’s Stetson BN RE

owned by Rebecca Malivuk earned their CA status at the

Greyhound Association of North Georgia’s two day event,

on Sunday, October 30, 2011 in Marietta. A few states away,

and hot on their hocks was Briarlea’s Call To Reveille RA

Cracker is eager to capture the lure. Sarah and Hanabi at the start line. Clearly they are ready to race!


owned by C. Drake, who titled on the same day at Greater

Twin Cities Afghan Hound Club, Ramsey, Minnesota.

Within a few months Cary Leigh Mudge’s Wires, GCH

CH Carywyre High Voltage and the aptly named CH Cary’s

Turbo Lover also earned their CA titles, followed by GCH CH

Ashgrove Camarillo Brillo ME, GCH CH Purston Jericho Rose

at Hi–Jinks SE, owned by myself. CH Emmwyre’s Foxy Prima

Donna, owned by Joelyn Miller Heslep and Oralee Adam’s

CCH Enchantment Lady Bentley O’Santerric CDX BN RAE.

The Smooth community were slower off the mark to

discover this fabulous new performance event. On the East

Coast “Buzz” CH Bellewoods Legacy Lightyear owned

by Lynn Gamarel, earned his first leg at the Bayshore

Companion Dog Club in Colts Neck, NJ on September 16th.

By all accounts he’s eager to continue participating!

A few weeks later on the West coast, on September

30th, 2012, history was made at the Southern California

Ibizan Hound Club in Chino, California. The first AKC titles

ever awarded to Smooth Fox Terriers went to three dogs, all

on the same day. Mary Lynn Machado’s “Mimi” GCH CH

Bellewoods Lumiere JE (mother of Buzz… which prompts

the pun “Does this run in the family?”) and “Cracker” GCH

CH Bellewoods Bonhomme, JE. The third Smooth in the

group was “Archer”, CH Argent Irresistible Archer JE owned

by Rhonda Casper.

The Wire’s blazed a trail to the next level of competition

with “Brillo” GCH CH Ashgrove Camarillo Brillo ME and

Hanabi GCH.CH Purston Jericho Rose at Hi-Jinks SE being

the very first Fox Terrier’s to earn the AKC CAA title. They

both qualified over a 2-day weekend at the Albuquerque

Whippet fanciers club in new New Mexico in March 2012.

Since March of this year GCH CH Carywyre High

Voltage, CH Cary’s Turbo Lover and CH Emmwyre’s Foxy

Prima Donna have all successfully followed suit completing

the 10 legs necessary to earn their CAA. It’s clear by the

statistics that these dogs and owners alike are enjoying this

sport as they are continuing to participate, and will no doubt

attain their CAX

The competition for the first CAA and CAX title for

Smooths is wide open. There has not been a dog to earn

either title yet, so the gauntlet is down! Currently the

leader with most successful legs to date is Mary Lynn’s dog

“Cracker”.

The first Fox Terrier to earn a CAX title is also the first

Terrier to earn this title. Wire Dog, GCH, CH Ashgrove

Camarillo “Brillo” shares the “First Terrier” accolade with

BedlingtonTerrier, Burmington Kind Of Magic BN RAE2 OA

OAJ OAP OJP NF NFO ME EE. “Hammer” is owned by

Jeri Bernard of Pleasanton, California. Brillo titled in Chino

in Southern, California on September 30th 2012, while

Hammer was repeating history on the same day in Hollister,

Northern California. Both dogs completed their titles with an

impressive 25 successive passes and have no failures to date.

Brillo is only one of 2 AKC GCH’s (All Breeds) to hold a

CAX title

The first CAX title for a Fox Terrier bitch goes to Hanabi

GCH CH Purston Jericho Rose at Hi-Jinks SE who finished

several weeks after her roommate Brillo on Oct 21st 2012,

also in Chino, California.

Many of the Terrier people that have fallen in love with

this sport hope that it becomes further developed. Just like in

“Archer”, CH Argent Irresistible Archer JE Mary Lynn and Casey, a happy team. Brillo is catches the prize! photo by Jim Bagby


Lure coursing the JC qualifications paved the way for a dogs

to run at higher level in braces, and trio’s. A Sighthound accu-

mulates points for a Lure Coursing Field Title in the same way

you would at a conformation show. Numbers of dogs defeat-

ed in your breed category directly determine the amount of

points you win. “Major” points are also required to title. The

dogs are judged individually as they run separately, or in a

course of up to three dogs. The winner of the stake may not

directly compete with the dog that comes second place.

You may think that Terriers may not be amenable to run

collectively but some Sighthounds also have a “hot tempera-

ment” issue. It seems that Terriers don’t have the sole rights

to piss and vinegar when it comes to gaminess. Basenji’s are

apparently notorious for starting a ruckus when they all arrive

at the lure at the same time, so you’ll always see the owners

grab their dogs with great haste in an attempt to circumnavi-

gate any aggravation! The Qualifying Courser QC level, which

is the next title progression from JC, is a way of determining if

a dog is amenable to run with others, in much the same way

we require Master Earth dogs to run in a randomly selected

brace.

Perhaps the most enjoyable thing about participating in

a CAT event is that heart warming realization I get when I’m

pulling out of the car park, on our way home. I know that I’ll

look over my right shoulder in about 15 minutes and I’ll see

two very drowsy Fox Terriers, happy and exhausted after the

their day in the field. Please consider participating in a CAT

event your dogs will love you for it. My only caution is that

a bath may be required!
