Fastest Welsh Springer Spaniels — Fast CAT Speed Rankings (2026)

19 Welsh Springer Spaniels are on the board this season, and the pace-setter is Fox River Sunshiney Days at 25.58 mph (8.00 seconds over 100 yards), already past last year's 25.38 mph best, out in front of the field. That top speed makes the Welsh Springer Spaniel the 134th-fastest of 251 breeds in 2026. Across the top 10, it's 23.0 mph on average — and there's still time for someone to crash the party. A few Dash-Hound regulars made the cut as well: Shimmer (18th).
