Five Pekingeses are on the board this season, and the pace-setter is They Call Me Mister! at 16.23 mph (12.60 seconds over 100 yards), chasing last year's 16.67 mph best — on track for a 7th straight year atop the Pekingese rankings, out in front of the field. That top speed makes the Pekingese the 248th-fastest of 251 breeds in 2026. The top 5 average 10.9 mph. Nothing's settled until the season closes.
