Internet Can't Believe Speed Red Heeler Hits in Incredible Run: 'Magical'

Greyhounds are widely accepted to be the fastest dog, but a completely different breed recently gave them a run for their money in a stunning video. , Winne the Australian cattle dog can be seen sprinting down a dirt track in rural Australia, a beautiful glowing sunset lighting up the sky behind her.

The caption reveals Winnie reached 34 miles per hour. "Although this isn't the fastest run Winnie's ever done, it sure is up there!," reads the caption. "She gave it absolutely everything." The fastest verified speed of a greyhound was 41 miles per hour, recorded in Wyong, Australia, in 1994, according to the Guinness World Records, however another Australian greyhound has an unofficial record of 50.5 miles per hour.

Described by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as "compact but muscular," the Australian cattle dog, also known as a red, blue or Queensland heeler, is related to Australia's iconic wild dog, the Dingo. "These resilient herders are intelligent enough to routinely outsmart their owners," add the AKC.

"Standing between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder, the Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, hard muscled herder of strength and agility. The ACD is born with a white coat that turns either blue gray or red." Strong and agile, "their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners," say the AKC.

"If an ACD (Australian cattle dog) isn't challenged, he easily becomes bored and gets into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with their dog in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep him mentally and physically fit." The need for an effective cattle dog arose in Australia in the 1800s when settlers began moving out west from Sydney to utilize the grazing lands for cattle.

"Here, land holdings were often hundreds, even thousands, of square miles of unfenced land," said Hill's Pet Nutrition. "For the English cattle dogs that were used at the time for herding, the high temperatures, rough terrain and long herding distances were too much to handle. Plus, their trait of barking and heading, which is desirable for working sheep and quiet cattle, made the wild stock stampede." Users on Instagram were impressed by the video.

"Magical beautiful girl; looks almost likes she's got another gear in hand. Fair play to her," said one user. "Go Winnie go! That sunset behind her is perfect too," wrote another user. "That backdrop though! My border collie has hit 50kph before. It's wild how they're just flying like that!," commented another user.
