Do you own the fastest dog breed in the world? According to WorldAtlas.com the number one fastest dog in the world is the Greyhound. They clock in at 45 miles per hour! These dogs are bred primarily for coursing game and racing. They are not aggressive, although some believe that they are due to the muzzles worn during racing. The muzzles are worn for their protection as their skin is very thin. Greyhounds do not need extended periods of daily exercise. They are very loyal to their families and always show love to their family members and they are not a barking breed.
The next fastest breed is the Saluki at 42 miles per hour. The Saluki is one of the oldest known breeds of domesticated dog. They were considered the "Royal Dog of Egypt." These dogs are active, gentle, affectionate, and loyal. They are very interested in hunting and need to be controlled when out on walks as they may let their hunting instincts take over. They are good with other dogs but do not get along with other animals.
Third on the list of the fastest dog breed is the Vizsla at 40 miles per hour. Vizsla were companion dogs of the early warlords and barons. They are very high energy, gentle-mannered, loyal, caring and highly affectionate. They are sometimes called "Velcro" dogs because of their loyalty and affection. They are quiet dogs, only barking if necessary or provoked. These dogs want to be close to their owner as much as possible and will cry if they feel neglected or want something.
