Fastest Golden Retrievers — Fast CAT Speed Rankings (2023)

750 Golden Retrievers chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings in 2023, and Beards Creek's Fourth Time's A Charm blazed to the front at 29.66 mph — 100 yards in a flat 6.90 seconds — the 2nd straight year planting a flag atop the Golden Retriever rankings, edging Roselake's Golden Romeo by a whisker (0.33 mph). The top 10 averaged 28.7 mph, up from 29.46 mph the year before — proof of how deep the Golden Retriever talent really runs. Dash-Hound members are climbing too, with Sammy (33rd) working up the field — log your own dog's runs at dashhound.app and watch it rise.
