Dog Sports America Posts AKC-Licensed Fast CAT Events Across U.S. Spring Calendar

Dog Sports America updated its events calendar in mid‑February, posting a string of AKC-licensed Fast CAT dates and registration details that run from late February into mid‑April and give handlers multiple multi‑trial opportunities to enter early in the spring field season. The update lists full AKC event numbers for Baytown (Humble, TX), Shasta (Anderson, CA) and Lodi (Lodi, CA) and repeats standardized entry and operational rules across the premiums.

Baytown Kennel Club, Inc. is listed as host at Humble Civic Center and Arena, 8233 Will Clayton Parkway, Humble, TX, with three days of Fast CATs on February 27 (Event #2026082817 and #2026082818), February 28 (Event #2026082819 and #2026082820) and March 1 (Event #2026082821 and #2026082822). The Baytown premiums state “2 Trials Per Day, Run Concurrently, unlimited runs per trial,” list surface and containment as “To be held Outdoors on grass and fully fenced,” and set fees at Early Entry: $30/run and Late and Day Of Entries (Subject to Availability): $35/run. Operational lines include “Rolling Roll Call will begin at 8:00am,” “Must be checked in to run by 3:00pm,” and “We do not schedule run times. Please see event details on page 3.” The Baytown excerpt also includes a “FENCING:” header in the premium.

Shasta District Fairgrounds, 1890 Briggs St. & Hwy. 273, Anderson, CA 96007, is scheduled for a four‑day block March 12–15 with paired event numbers: March 12 (#2026124507, #2026124508), March 13 (#2026124509, #2026124510), March 14 (#2026124511, #2026124512) and March 15 (#2026124513, #2026124514). The Shasta listing repeats the premium language: “2 Trials Per Day, Run Concurrently, Unlimited runs per trial,” “To be held outdoors on grass and fully fenced,” Early Entry: $30/run, Late and Day Of Entries (Subject to Availability): $35/run, “Rolling Roll Call will begin at 8:00am,” “Must be checked in to run by 3:00pm,” and “We do not schedule run times. Please see Event Details on page 3. [...]”

Lodi Grape Festival Grounds, 413 Lockeford ST, Lodi, CA, appears on the DSA calendar for April 11–13 with event numbers April 11 (#2025012810, #2025012811), April 12 (#2025012812, #2025012813) and April 13 (#2025012815, #2025012816). The Lodi premium mirrors the other sites on fees and roll call while noting slightly different language on runs: “2 Trials Per Day, Run Concurrently, unlimited runs per trial (subject to site restrictions).” The Lodi excerpt also states, verbatim, “Northern California Sporting Group will be holding 2 trials a day on April 9 and 10 at the same location,” indicating an extended cluster of trials at the Grape Festival Grounds.

Dog Sports Unlimited’s upcoming events page supplements the DSA cluster, listing short‑form Fast CAT entries such as “FAST CAT | Feb 21-22 | K9OCOJ,” “FAST CAT | Mar 7, 2026 | GSDCNFL,” and “FAST CAT | Mar 8, 2026 | WVKC,” and promoting “# Attention!! Become a Fast CAT Rewards Program member” alongside “\\Read this before buying tickets.\\”

AKC context in the supplied materials remains part of the circuit: the Fast CAT Invitational wording notes “The 2025 Fast CAT Invitational will be held in Wilmington, OH at the Roberts Centre and will start Wednesday, October 15 and end Saturday, October 18,” and confirms selection criteria — “Top 5 Dogs in each breed will be invited.” AKC contact for the Invitational is akcfastcatinvitational@akc.org or 919-816-3340; post‑event photo orders are available from ML Baer Photography at 413-441-5011 or mark@mlbaer.com, and Champ Dog Gear is taking limited post‑event orders for Invitational collars and leads.

The DSA mid‑February update organizes a clear early‑spring Fast CAT run with complete AKC event numbers for Baytown, Shasta and Lodi and consistent premiums (Early Entry $30/run; Late/Day $35/run; rolling roll call 8:00am; 3:00pm check‑in), while Dog Sports Unlimited and AKC pages add short‑form club listings and Invitational context; premium page references (page 3, page 25) indicate additional scheduling and test details remain to be posted by clubs.
