my chesapeake bay retriever was clocked at 30 mph running down the dock at splash dog event. This does not seem possible. They were using a radar gun.

30 mph is VERY fast for a retriever..my coursing hounds run 38-43 mph for long distances (about 2 miles)
wikiedia says this:
"Several strains of dogs have been bred for extreme speed. The fastest of all seems to be the saluki of Arabia, or the related Afghan hound, which can step out at 43 mph and overtake the fastest Arabian horse. Greyhounds and whippets sometimes reach 35 or 40 mph in dog races."

of those breeds, it truly is a toss up between the Dogo and the Husky, counting on what you propose. in case you propose a short burst, the Dogo will beat virtually the different breed. in spite of the indisputable fact that, Dogo's are purely able to a unmarried short burst, and in all honesty ought to no longer be run excessively because of their length. in case you want a distance runner, the Husky blows the others so a procedures out of the water it isn't any longer even humorous. Huskies were bred to run. what's better is that Huskies are frequently a lot fit than the different breeds, which in many circumstances struggle through from extreme hip issues (that are considered a lot less frequently in Huskies). the issue with Huskies is that even as maximum are very sweet, they're in many circumstances very not basic to coach. in case you pick my suggestion on the perfect operating better 0.5 contained in the canines international, it is the Dalmatian fingers down. Dalmatians were bred to run alongside carriages, preserving with horses for tens of miles at a time. The breed is a organic jogger and runner, and with some practise makes an excellent workout significant different. Dalmatians are smaller than the different breeds and commonly are in better structural health. Dalmatians have earned a popularity as biters, in spite of the indisputable fact that it is because such distinctive are deaf and their vendors do no longer comprehend it. (Deaf canines are frequently very fearful because they're lacking a key ssense.)

The fastest dog in the world is the Greyhound. It can run up to 45 1/2 mph. "Only the cheetah tops [the greyhound] for speed in the animal world."

We have beagles and they can run quite fast. I would say around 15 miles a hour or more.
