What is the average speed for a female racing greyhound?

I have a Female greyhound around 1yr. old (not bred to be a race dog but a hunting dog) and she runs 50mph. we have clocked her going that fast. Is this below, average, or above a racing greyhounds speed? my greyhound is about 1yo. and she runs about 50 mph. and we have seen her do this while chasing a deer for 3/4 of a mile. She was litterly 8ft. behind the deer!

1. 147 mph
2. 35 to 45 if they are for an average racer
3. grey hound racing is cruel
4. Their speed is up to 45 miles per hour. Whatever a greyhounds speed, it's done on a measured track. These dogs probably run a lot faster in a shorter distance, just like your dog. If your dog ran on a measured track, it's calculated speed would probably be a little slower. There are some dogs that can run faster, but not hold a true 45 mph for the whole length of a measured distance.
5. That sounds like an incredibly fast Greyhound. We have two Greyhounds and they can hit speeds of 35 miles an hour.
6. no idea
