Fastest Golden Retrievers — Fast CAT Speed Rankings (2026)

This season so far, 680 Golden Retrievers have chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings, and right now Trifecta's You Raise Me Up sits at the front of the pack — 29.26 mph, 100 yards in 6.99 seconds, chasing last year's 29.41 mph best, out in front of the field. Only 1.18 mph separates first from tenth — one good weekend can reshuffle it. The top 10 average 28.4 mph. Nothing's settled until the season closes. Dash-Hound members are climbing too, with Mushu (3rd) and Nuka (10th) working up the field — log your own dog's runs at dashhound.app and watch it rise.
