CHAPTER XV COURSING ABILITY TEST REGULATIONS PURPOSE. The purpose of the AKC Coursing Ability Test is to provide all dogs and
their owners an enjoyable, healthy activity in which they can participate. Based on the
sport of lure coursing, Coursing Ability Tests will serve as an introduction to the sport
for all eligible dog owners. Dogs run singularly and are required to complete their course
with enthusiasm and without interruption within a maximum amount of time. The
Coursing Ability Test is a pass–fail event.All applicable administrative regulations
governing Lure Coursing Tests shall apply to Coursing Ability Tests unless specifically
addressed in this chapter.
ELIGIBILITY TO ENTER. Coursing Ability Tests are open to all dogs at least 12
months of age that are individually registered with the AKC, recorded in the Foundation
Stock Service (FSS) program, individually registered with a foreign or domestic registry
organization whose pedigrees are acceptable for AKC registration, dogs granted a
Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) number, dogs with AKC Limited or Conditional
Registration, or dogs enrolled in the AKC Canine Partners program. Dogs with breed
disqualifications and monorchid/cryptorchid dogs are eligible to participate. Females in
season may not enter. A dog may enter only once per event. (An event is defined by an
event number.)
Coursing Ability Test will not possess the agility of a sight hound and this must be a consideration in the
design of a course
DISTANCE AND MAXIMUM TIME. Dogs run singularly. 300 Yard Course. This distance is for
dogs shorter than 12 inches at the withers and/or brachycephalic (“flat-faced”) dogs. A dog must
complete this course in less than 1½ minutes. 600 Yard Course. This distance is used for all dogs
that do not run the 300 yard course. A dog must complete this course in less than 2 minutes. If there is a
question which course a dog should run, the judge will decide. The premium should state the distance for
each course and the eligibility of dogs for each course.
COLLAR/PARAPHERNALIA. Dogs may wear any collar except a choker collar, a collar with prongs
or an electronic training collar. The collar should be snug to minimize the chances of getting hung up on
something during the run. Owners should be aware that there is a chance that tags hanging from the collar
could become entangled on something during the run. Owners may use clips or rubber bands to hold the
dog’s hair. The owner assumes responsibility for the safety of the dog with regard to the dog’s collar and
paraphernalia on the dog.
PASSING PERFORMANCE. The Coursing Ability Test is a pass–fail event. In order to pass, the dog
must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within the maximum amount of time
for the course length. The judge keeps the official time and decides the merits of the dog’s performance
RIBBONS OR ROSETTES. A club holding Coursing Ability Test shall offer a ribbon or rosette to each
dog that receives a qualification toward a Coursing Ability title. Ribbons or rosettes shall be orange in
color.
CLUBS ELIGIBLE TO HOLD COURSING ABILITY TESTS. Any club licensed to hold AKC Lure Coursing events is automatically licensed to hold a Coursing Ability Test. An all‐breed or group club licensed for conformation, obedience, or agility may apply to the Performance Events Department to become licensed to hold Coursing Ability Tests. The Performance Events Department will also consider exceptions on a one‐time basis for any AKC licensed club to hold a Coursing Ability Test under unique circumstances. INSPECTION COMMITTEE. An inspection committee consisting of at least two persons who are members of the field committee shall inspect each entry for lameness, fitness to compete and females in season. Inspection shall take place prior to any form of wrapping being applied to the dog. In the opinion of the inspection committee, any entry found to be lame, unfit to compete or a female in season shall not be allowed to enter and entry fees shall be refunded. ELIGIBILITY TO JUDGE. All AKC approved Lure Coursing event judges are
approved to judge a Coursing Ability Test.
COURSE DESIGN. The course shall be designed with safety for non-sighthound breeds
as a primary consideration. There shall be no turns more acute than 90 degrees. The total
length of the course shall be no less than 600 yards and should be as close to 600 yards as
is possible. The lure will consist of plastic strips. Depending of the size and type of dog,
the dog will run either the full course or a 300 yard course. The 300 yard distance shall
be clearly marked. Safety is of utmost importance. Many of the dogs running the

Any decisions made by the officiating judge(s)
regarding the performance of an entered dog shall be final. Full discretionary power is
given to the judge to withhold any and all qualifications for lack of merit. The judge is
responsible for ensuring compliance with the AKC regulations on the field.
Exhibitors should follow their veterinarian’s recommendations to assure their dogs
are free of internal and external parasites, any communicable diseases and have
appropriate vaccinations.
Coursing is an athletic activity that can tax a dog’s physical strength. Dogs that are
overweight and/or out of condition may be at greater risk for injury and exhaustion. The
Inspection Committee has the authority to disallow a dog’s entry into a test, and in such
instances, applicable entry fees will be refunded.
