I got one about 3 years ago to be a companion for my greyhound! Perfect running mate! Greyhounds can run @ 30 MPH; rattles can run @ 25!! And she is one funny dog!!
I pick up a mutt from a rescue. Turns out he is mixed rat terrier. Out runs a 200cc four wheeler. Don't know if he is mixed with grey hound face is pretty ugly, lol....
@@benjammin5508 it's not a horrible idea, but we have used radar guns before and they don't tend to be very accurate (I think because they tend to pick up on the movement of the dog's legs instead of their whole body). The best way that we have found is to use an electronic timing system where the dog sets off the timer by crossing a laser beam, and then has to cross a second laser beam to turn the timer off. Then you do some math to figure out how many MPH they ran from point A to point B.
I did not plan this to be a debate over speed with radar, radar is the not the most accurate device but its fast and in your face reading and it'sfun. for 47 years I've been using speed measuring devices from stop watch ,gps, lazer, radio etc. Is this a sanctioned race ?. radar anybody can use with quickresults . I just liked your video and I made a simple comment.
The fact there are rat terrier races is outstanding
I think the smart one was the fella who came second. He was thinking, "why am I chasing this stupid thing for!, Get me out on the squirrells!"
One dog is like, “I’m gonna catch that critter!” The other one is just a tag along.
dang ole critter
they can run! I got a few of these and they can run hard!

From the looks of things only the dogs are doing much sprinting...
200 yard sprint for such small dogs is like a 800 yard sprint for humans
They are part Whippet

My rat terrier used to be able to hit 31 mph now he's fat and is lucky to hit 20 +.
My parsons 11 years old and can still go very fast wen he runs
Get a radar gun and clock there speed my mini Ratterrier 15.5 mph my full size RT 34.7 mph
Radar guns are not the best way to evaluate speed on dogs.

@@benjammin5508 this video is from a practice race, but my club does hold sanctioned race meets a few times a year; it's a fun time.
