About Rhodesian Ridgeback in Fast CAT

Rhodesian Ridgebacks are sighthound-built lion hunters with the speed and endurance to crack 30 MPH on a 100-yard course.

Competitive Ridgebacks run 28–32 MPH at the 1.0× handicap. The breed's competitive top of the leaderboard hovers around 32 MPH most years. Ridgebacks combine size — most measure 25"+ at the withers — with a sighthound-class stride, producing top speeds higher than most non-sighthound breeds.

Ridgebacks are also one of the most consistent Fast CAT breeds: well-conditioned dogs produce remarkably similar times across a season. Handlers chasing the breed top 20 typically optimize for cool-weather events to squeeze the last MPH out of the dog.
