Sprint Racing is one of the most exciting of all dog events and this year at Wags you can try your dog at this all-breed Luratics event. There are two types of races: flat and hurdles (also known as Steeplechase). The track is a minimum of 150-200 feet long and is a straight course with a starting line at one end and a finish line with a catch basin at the other. A lure (usually a piece of scented fur or a plastic grocery bag) is attached to a piece of string that is pulled along by a Lure machine. The dogs are muzzled for safety (theirs and the catchers). The first dog to cross the finish line is the winner. Some events use hay bales with a hole in them for a finish line; in that case the dog who makes it through the hole first is the winner.
