This season so far, 2 Japanese Terriers have chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings, and right now Ozaki Farm Jp's Genji sits at the front of the pack — 19.95 mph, 100 yards in 10.25 seconds — a Japanese Terrier mainstay, in the top five again for the 4th time, narrowly ahead of Taiga's Embracing A Starlit Fate (0.04 mph). The top 2 are averaging 19.9 mph, chasing last year's 22.77 mph best, and with the season running through 2027, these standings can still shift.
