Fastest Flat-Coated Retrievers — Fast CAT Speed Rankings (2026)

This season so far, 100 Flat-Coated Retrievers have chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings, and right now Sweet Bird's Dancing In The Moonlight sits at the front of the pack — 27.97 mph, 100 yards in 7.31 seconds, narrowly ahead of Tazrus Ruled Under Mars (0.04 mph). The top 10 are averaging 27.1 mph, chasing last year's 28.60 mph best, and with the season running through 2027, these standings can still shift.
