Big congratulations to these All American Dogs who blazed their way to honors at the 2025 AKC® Fast CAT® Invitational. The event took place October 15-18, 2025, at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, OH. The five fastest dogs from each breed, determined by their rankings in the AKC Fast Coursing Ability Tests (Fast CAT), were invited to compete in the 6th annual AKC Fast CAT Invitational.
Over three days of preliminary runs, each dog competed twice in one of two divisions: Pure Speed and Speed of the Breed. In the Pure Speed division, the top 10 fastest dogs within each height class were recognized based on their actual running times. In the Speed of the Breed division, the top 10 dogs that most exceeded their breed’s average speed were honored. The highest-ranking dog in each division earned the titles of 2025 Pure Speed Champion and 2025 Speed of the Breed Champion, respectively.
