Two Finnish Spitzs are on the board this season, and the pace-setter is Hyppiva Mennikainen Of Kwontumleap-Knightsno at 23.47 mph (8.72 seconds over 100 yards), chasing last year's 24.48 mph best — on track for a 4th straight year atop the Finnish Spitz rankings, out in front of the field. That top speed makes the Finnish Spitz the 188th-fastest of 251 breeds in 2026. The top 2 are averaging 22.6 mph, and with the season running through 2027, these standings can still shift.
