Five Newfoundlands chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings in 2017, and Top Shelf Pop The Cork blazed to the front at 21.20 mph — 100 yards in a flat 9.65 seconds, clear of the field. That top speed makes the Newfoundland the 149th-fastest of 191 breeds in 2017. The top 5 averaged 14.3 mph — proof of how deep the Newfoundland talent really runs.
