Duke was the fastest Australian Kelpie in 2025, stopping the clock at 7.29 seconds (28.07 mph), just off 2024's 28.33 mph best — a Australian Kelpie mainstay, back in the top five for the 3rd time, clear of the field. That top speed makes the Australian Kelpie the 62nd-fastest of 249 breeds in 2025. The top 6 averaged 26.9 mph — proof of how deep the Australian Kelpie talent really runs.
