Dogs are animals that simply love to run fast.

At the same time, there are some breeds that can actually compare in speed to a car.

Let's find out which dogs can run really fast.

The speed record holder is the greyhound breed, which can reach speeds of over 67 kilometers per hour, which is even faster than the speed of a car within the city.

The dog is quite massive (up to 70 centimeters at the withers), but it weighs up to 40 kg.

Another record holder is the Afghan hound. These graceful animals with incredibly beautiful long hair are also very fast.

Since the breed was bred specifically for hunting, it can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour. The whippet, which is called a small English greyhound, and the African greyhound (Azawak) can boast the same speed.

The Hungarian Vizsla (Hungarian Pointer) is a hunting breed that can run at speeds of 40 miles per hour.
