Three Hovawarts chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings in 2024, and Sagan Ex Horto Albo blazed to the front at 26.20 mph — 100 yards in a flat 7.81 seconds, just off 2023's 26.70 mph best — the 2nd straight year planting a flag atop the Hovawart rankings, edging Picasso Casova by a whisker (0.31 mph). Line the breeds up by their fastest dog and the Hovawart lands 119th out of 255. The top 3 averaged 24.4 mph — proof of how deep the Hovawart talent really runs.
