I.

Have you ever taken your dog for a run around the yard or seen them compete with other dogs at the park? Some dogs can run! However, not all dogs can run the same way or at the same speed.

How fast a dog can run depends on the breed and its body composition. For example, long-bodied, short-legged Pug and Dachshunds run much slower than long-legged dogs and Whoppers.
How do dogs run?
How fast a dog can run generally depends on its body composition and breed. However, all dogs share some of the traits that make them potential runners.
Grippy feet give the dog a strong turning ability and a complex gait. A flexible spine, long lats, and strong abdominal muscles give them great drive and forward momentum.
When they run fast or gallop, dogs have four asymmetrical gaits. This means that when they run, their feet are in a right front, left front, right back, and left-back pattern. Each front foot leaves the ground, and then the corresponding back foot comes down.
Some fast dogs can run at a gallop, and they have a special way of running in which their bodies can be propelled through the air with all four legs off the ground at the same time.
In general, dogs can run at speeds of 25-35 km per hour over short distances. However, some breeds are much slower than this, and there are some breeds of dogs that are much faster. A dog's speed depends on its body composition, breed, and health status.

Greyhound
Some dogs run fast?
Imagine the fastest dog in the world. You might think of the Gretel, which can run at speeds of up to 70 km/h. They can match the speed of cheetahs on land (although cheetahs easily beat them in sprints).

Other long-legged hounds can also run at the same fast speed. The Saluki Hound and the Scottish Deerhound have both been recorded as being able to run about 60 kilometers per hour. German Shepherds and Border Collies can run at speeds of around 50 km/h.

Boxers can also run that fast, and because of their running ability, they were used as messengers during wartime. Even some smaller sporting dogs, such as Jack Russell Terriers and Italian Greyhounds, can reach speeds of 40-50 miles per hour!

What do these fast-running dogs have in common?
Deep chests, lean bodies, and long legs. They have the cardio capacity to move fast and have extensive coverage to maintain their range of motion. Generally, these fast-running dogs are timed at the sprint. This means they are unable to maintain a long-speed sprint in a short period.

Dogs with the stamina to maintain speed for long periods can run a mile in 5-6 minutes or less. in 2016 Brian Duff and his dog Keldom set a world record for running a mile in four minutes and 13 seconds!

Do other dogs run slowly?
It's unlikely that all dogs run as fast as greyhounds. Most dogs average a top speed of 30 miles per hour, significantly slower than their long-legged relatives.

Very small dogs like Chihuahuas are slow because of their size, and their legs simply don't move far enough, or fast enough! Short-nosed dogs like pugs and bulldogs can't run fast enough because they can't keep up with their breathing.

And extra-large dogs like St. Bernards and Newfoundlands move slowly because of their size. They may have a momentary burst of energy, but they likely can't keep up with you.

Some of the slower dog breeds (and their estimated speeds) include

French Bulldogs (under 25 km/h)
Poodles (under 10 km/h)
Pug (8-15 km/h)
Toy Poodle (15 km/h)
Basset Hound (8-15 km/h)
Of course, speed is relative, and while pugs are slow runners compared to greyhounds, they can still race around the yard!

Which are the dogs that can run long distances?
Although the dogs mentioned above are not fast, they can maintain a certain speed for a longer period compared to hounds. For people who like sports, these breeds are often good running partners.

Dog breeds that can run for long periods include
Labradors
German Shorthaired Pointing Dog
Siberian Sheltie
English Setter
Standard Poodle
Spotted Dog
These breeds and similar-sized dogs can run consistently at speeds of 15-25 km/h. Imagine a group of Eskimos pulling a sled in a multi-day race; instead of sprinting all the time, they maintain a steady pace for a long period. That's impressive athleticism.
Of course, if you have a mixed breed dog, you may find that they fit any of the above, depending on their size, age, and health, which also have a lot to do with how fast the dog can run. Younger dogs tend to have more explosive power, while older dogs may have arthritis or injuries that slow them down.

Whether your dog is a sprinter, a long-distance runner, or a slow walker, all dogs need exercise. Thankfully, there are many ways to take advantage of your dog's natural running ability. Hiking, jogging, and walking are all better options to avoid under-exercising your dog.

II. Those breeds of dogs that run fast

The 1st breed: the Arlington
The fastest running dog is the lurcher, a very ancient breed with a form that has remained unchanged since ancient times. It was first trained as a visual hunting dog that uses vision to track prey and can reach speeds of up to 64 kilometers per hour, but this dog is not a very refined prototype, but it is also suitable for use as a family dog.

Type 2: Dalmatian
It is commonly known as the spotted dog, the 19th century is the British and French noblewomen's favorite carriage guard dog, due to the past work needs, Dalmatian running speed, endurance is very good, field ability summed up is the quality is excellent, experienced, and hobby running, skating, hiking, swimming people more compatible oh.

Type 3: Alaskan
Alaska belongs to the developed legs, the brain is not a very good dog. Although large and heavy, self-awareness is always convinced that they are a baby, nothing to want to master hug. But once Ara returned to his job, pulling the sled, the speed is still very good! But when he is bored, he can be a brute and wreak havoc.

Type 4: Whippet
The Whippet is a true sporting hound, able to run the maximum distance with the least amount of movement. The impression is of a beautiful and harmonious, muscular, strong, and powerful dog with an extremely elegant and graceful appearance. A streamlined body shape is a requirement for speed. Its long and slender limbs and lean, soft body make it a no-brainer in the race.

Breed 5: Jack Russell Terrier
With boundless energy and agility, the curious and alert Jack Russell Terrier is a standout in timed obstacle runs, and he is also a very self-absorbed dog, always trying to prove his speed and poise, and therefore eager to dig, bark, chase, and nibble, which is cute and playful but also difficult to educate.

The 6th kind: Australian Shepherd
Australian shepherds and border collies alike, their native work is herding, so Australian shepherds have developed the habit of skulking around in open spaces, and the trait of workaholism makes them unhappy without work, so their flexibility and stamina are good, and they are quality competitors in all kinds of obstacle courses.

Breed 7: Vizsla Hound
Vizsla Hound is a dog born for hunting, although the hourly speed is not as strong as other dogs, there is endurance plus, the field running self-drive powerful, it is also a home warm dog, easy to train, as a companion dog performance has been very good.
