Eight Yakutian Laikas chased the lure into the AKC Fast CAT rankings in 2023, and Northstar's Second Coup D'Etat blazed to the front at 25.36 mph — 100 yards in a flat 8.07 seconds, up from 24.58 mph the year before — the 3rd straight year planting a flag atop the Yakutian Laika rankings, clear of the field. That top speed makes the Yakutian Laika the 141st-fastest of 249 breeds in 2023. The top 8 averaged 22.5 mph — proof of how deep the Yakutian Laika talent really runs.
