The average running speed of a dog is estimated at 10-15 kilometers per hour.
Representatives of some popular breeds (shepherds, Dobermans) can reach speeds of 30-35 kilometers per hour.
But there is a real record holder - an English greyhound named Star Title.
In 1994, this dog set a record that still stands.
How fast did Star Title's dog go?
Three decades ago, this dog reached a speed of 67.32 kilometers per hour.
The compilers of the Guinness Book of Records drew attention to this fantastic figure.
The Star Title nickname is still mentioned in the reference book. The fact is that the record has not yet been broken.
By the way, the ability of greyhounds to gain considerable speed has been known for a very long time.
The English greyhound's build is ideal for running: slim and muscular.
The body of these dogs is distinguished by clear contours and symmetry.
The situation is also improved by strong hind legs and an elongated head.
It is not surprising that English greyhounds often take part in greyhound racing.
