There are 16 upcoming AKC Fast CAT event weekends in Virginia, hosted in Doswell, Williamsburg, Suffolk, Mechanicsville, Fredericksburg and other cities. The next one is Northern Neck Kennel Club of Virginia in Doswell on August 21, 2026. Fast CAT is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs chase a lure one at a time, and nearly every AKC-registered dog is eligible, including mixed breeds enrolled in AKC Canine Partners.
