NGA-bred Greyhounds can certainly run 35mph, and the best can get to 38mph or so, but for a limited distance. They are sprinters. They generally can't hold that type of speed over more than 600-700 yards. It also depends upon how you measure their speed (on a banked track versus natural ground). By contrast, my Borzoi can get up to 32-35 mph, but outlast a grey. Saluki can outlast everything. Whippets - short sprinters.

They are all cool. Great personalities, very intelligent. I think the look is definitely an acquired taste, though. But the athletic ability reminds me of TB horses. Nothing more impressive than watching good dogs course.
