Though they are generally a healthy breed, Salukis can develop heart conditions such as cardiac tumors and cardiomyopathy; eye conditions such as cataracts; and cancers such as lymphoma and liver cancer. 1. Greyhounds. Known as the “45-mph couch potato,” the Greyhound is the fastest dog breed in the world. Its need for speed comes from a natural prey drive to pursue small game, and Greyhounds can achieve speed bursts of more than 40-mph.

An American breed, Rat Terriers are known to reach speeds of up to 27 mph. As the name suggests, they were originally used by British migrants in rat-baiting. However, due to their quick agility they soon became used for vermin control, hunting animals like squirrels and hares, particularly in American farms.

2. Saluki. One of the oldest breeds of domesticated dogs, the Saluki has also been clocked at speeds in excess of 40-mph. Their speed and endurance are due in part to their heavily padded feet, which help to absorb the impact that running has on the body.

Next is the whippet at about 36 mph. The whippet is the fastest in a sprint and is faster than a greyhound over the first 100-150 yards. Borzois probably fall next and then salukis. As I explain it to people, whippets are compared to human sprinters on the 100 yard/meter dash.

Saluki average speed is 33 mph. They are also listed as the fastest dog at 43 mph by the Guinness Book Of Records. In addition, the 63 mph for cheetah is an outdated number from the unverified 1960’s article. The newly verified speeds are closer to 50 mph.
