More lure coursing

 Since videos seem to be playing properly again, here are some of Izzy and Ellie enjoying the chase:

Here is Ellie doing a CAT (Coursing Ability Test) - approximately 600 yards.  It's pass/fail, the dog is judged on the willingness to keep chasing the lure.


In contrast, here they are running the Fast CAT - this is a straight 100 yard dash.  The run is timed, and the dog gets points based on the average speed.  Our Danes usually run it in a little over 8 seconds, which converts to a little over 24 mph.  This is the average speed - considering that it takes them a stride or two to get up to speed I'd like to know how fast they are going at the end!

Here is Izzy - her timed run was the first part, after the turn around she just chased it back to the start line:


And here is Ellie:
