The West Volusia Kennel Club had its annual dog show in DeLand. This year they had a sanctioned Fast Cat event going on in conjunction with the conformation and dock diving. I figured it would be a good opportunity to get Ty out and see exactly how fast he could run the 100 yard course. Friday we ran him once and he turned in a very respectable 8.13 seconds. Pretty impressive for a 130 pound dog. He had so much fun we took him out Saturday and let him have a couple more goes at it. He was ready to go as soon as I put him in the truck. His first time out on the track was amazing! As soon as I let him go and saw him accelerating down the course I knew he was going to have a great run. I asked the time keeper, "How fast?" she said "7.94 seconds" Hot damn!! His next run was a little slower at 7.99 seconds but he still turned in a time under 8 seconds. That means his fastest run was 25.76 mph. Ty can Fly!

It's official! Ty is now in 2nd place right behind Black Pearl's Espresso. #2 in the country isn't bad! Since Espresso is a female, it also means that Ty has the fastest Fast Cat time in the country for a male corso. [Coursing Photos]
