About AKC Fast CAT®

Fast CAT® – which stands for Coursing Ability Test – is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs run one at a time, chasing a lure. A relatively new sport, its popularity has spread like wildfire. According to one AKC official, “The Fast CAT® provides a terrific opportunity to introduce new participants to the world of AKC sports as one of the few events where all that is needed to compete is a dog’s natural instincts.”

In Memoriam

The Nebraska Kennel Club dedicated our 2017 Conformation show to the memories of Ann and Harry Witte. Ann passed away on Sept 24th, 2016. Ann had been a tireless worker for the Nebraska Kennel Club, serving as Board Member, Secretary, Advertising Chairman, and in many other capacities. She did a lot for the Herding Community as well; Shelties were her early love but she was later taken over by Beardies. The family is suggesting that anyone wishing to honor her memory make a contribution in her name to the Bearded Collie Rescue:
