Greater Pittsburgh Dalmatian Club

08/12/2026

The Greater Pittsburgh Dalmatian Club is proud to sponsor AKC Coursing Ability Tests (CABT) on September 19-20, 2026 — 2 trials on Sat and 2 trials on Sun - 4 trials in ONE weekend! It's happening the same weekend as the Butler County Kennel Club all-breed conformation shows at the Big Butler Fairgrounds in Prospect, PA!

Whether your dog is a Dalmatian, another purebred, or a mixed breed, CAT is open to (almost) everyone. Watch dogs run a 600-yard lure course and see just how much they love to chase. It's fast, it's fun, and it's a great way to spend the weekend with your dog.

Already coming to Big Butler Fairgrounds for the all-breed shows? Stick around and run your dog in the CAT too — one trip, two events!

Event details:
Dates: September 19-20, 2026
Location: Big Butler Fairgrounds, 1127 New Castle Road, Prospect, PA 16052 - look for GPDC signs!
