Seven German Spitzs chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings in 2025, and Guus V. Millus blazed to the front at 26.29 mph — 100 yards in a flat 7.78 seconds, up from 24.21 mph the year before — the 2nd straight year planting a flag atop the German Spitz rankings, clear of the field. That top speed makes the German Spitz the 120th-fastest of 249 breeds in 2025. The top 7 averaged 24.1 mph — proof of how deep the German Spitz talent really runs.
