One Plott Hound is on the board this season, and the pace-setter is CSG The Mid-Nite Gambler at 23.94 mph (8.54 seconds over 100 yards), chasing last year's 27.43 mph best. That top speed makes the Plott Hound the 180th-fastest of 251 breeds in 2026. Across the top 1, it's 23.9 mph on average — and there's still time for someone to crash the party.
