This season so far, 3 Dandie Dinmont Terriers have chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings, and right now Ignatius Montague Presley sits at the front of the pack — 15.66 mph, 100 yards in 13.06 seconds, chasing last year's 19.25 mph best — a Dandie Dinmont Terrier mainstay, in the top five again for the 6th time, out in front of the field. That top speed makes the Dandie Dinmont Terrier the 251st-fastest of 251 breeds in 2026. Across the top 3, it's 11.8 mph on average — and there's still time for someone to crash the party.
