Two English Foxhounds are on the board this season, and the pace-setter is Foxpointe's Rock & Roll Royalty at 22.86 mph (8.95 seconds over 100 yards), chasing last year's 25.15 mph best, out in front of the field. That top speed makes the English Foxhound the 197th-fastest of 251 breeds in 2026. The top 2 are averaging 21.1 mph, and with the season running through 2027, these standings can still shift.
