Dash Hounds We love dog sports! We have a private FastCAT-style track that we open up to the public when we can. FastCAT is a type of lure coursing.

Watch some YouTube videos on it, and you'll see how fun it is! We are super excited to bring this sport to Bowie.

We are running the trash bunny this weekend! Saturday until 1pm and Sunday afternoon from 3pm-dark. Odd hours I know, but this Mama's got chauffeur duty for kids activities. If you have the time, we'd love to see you out here! Field is fully fenced and dogs run by themselves, never with other strange dogs.

Call 971-287-0530 to let me know when you're coming, or just show up and honk your horn.

We're back! After a long, brutal, hot late summer, the ground is ready for some races! We'll be back at it starting next week. Days and times will be posted on this Dash Hounds page and on local facebook sites.

We spent the summer keeping fit (as fit as possible with the heat) in preparation for the Fast Cat Invitationals. The FCI is an invite-only national Fast Cat event, where the top 10 dogs of every breed (and mixed breeds; they have a category for them) come together to decide who is the fastest. This year it was held in Branson, Missouri.

Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel "Inareh" was invited, and we had a blast competing. It was fun to hear our little town of Bowie, TX mentioned on the loudspeaker, and our little ball of flying fur represented in a big way! He ended up getting Reserve Champion for his breed, and we are so proud of him.

One thing that I love about this sport is that the people you meet are all so friendly and chill. Seriously. The most laid-back people ever. Your dogs don't need to be trained, and they don't even need to be fast. The dogs run, not the people, so it's a great avenue to run off some canine energy while honoring your own aches, pains, and limitations. Some dogs chase the lure like Salukis on the desert plains, while others are happy just to run down the lane into the open arms of their people. If the dogs are happy, we're happy!

A very welcome update today. We finally have a break in the weather. THE DASH HOUNDS TRACK WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW, SUNDAY, ALL DAY!

Please give a call or text to 971-287-0530 to let me know what time you're coming. Honk your horn so I know you've arrived.

I only allow one dog on the track at a time. If you bring multiple dogs and want to run them all together, that is also allowed. Don't forget to sign the waiver when you come onto the track, be safe and HAVE FUN!

A small fee of $3/dog is appreciated but not necessary.

DASH HOUNDS will be open today, Sunday May 17, from 1-4pm! Call or text me at 971-287-0530 to let me know when you are coming.

We had a great turnout yesterday and a lot of dogs, and owners, had a blast- whether they chased the lure or just ran around on the track, it was exciting to see the spark in their eyes. Thank you to everyone who came out, and thank you for your donations!

We are located at 2670 Highway 81N, Bowie, TX 76230. Call or text me at 971-287-0530 to set up a time to run!
We ask for a small donation of $3 per dog. This helps maintain equipment and grounds. Any extra donations go into a fund to help local pet owners with spay/neuter costs. We're not a 501(c) (3), but we are a non-profit.

NOTE- This is a private FastCAT track- I am not a company nor a professional lure coursing business. I'm just trying to help the community give their dogs an outlet to run. Heck, if your kids need an outlet, they can chase the lure in a 100-yard sprint, too đŸ˜€

Big THANK YOU to local Realtor Michael McCarty for sponsoring!! If you're thinking about buying or selling, or just need general information on the real estate market, shoot him a text or give him a call. 928-368-3889

Also, a big shout-out to Hailey Schilb for donating her time to provide professional action shots and portraits. She does all the photos for Dash Hounds. Contact her at 817-298-9659 to set up a photoshoot.

Dash Hounds will not be running dogs today due to the weather. We hope everyone came through the storm safely and with no damage.

I will open the track one day this coming week if the weather cooperates. I'll update this page when I know more.

Our next Fun Run day will be April 25/26, weather permitting. I will try to hold an evening Fun Run sometime during the week as well before that date. Hope to see y'all out there!
