Can any dog break ALL of the men's world records from the 100m to the marathon?

That greyhound thing is flat wrong. A Pronghorn Antelope can run in excess of 60mph, and lions, wildebeest and gazelles can all go around 50mph.

The Mongolian Wild Ass gives the greyhound a run for its money at 40mph.

I don't know about the shorter events but a pig would set the marathon wr. I guess it'd have to be on a treadmill though.

Thread of the Week, easily.

I was going to call bull and say there's no way an animal could have such a cool name, but I was wrong, I saw it in wikipedia.

a pronghorn antelope could beat any dog over any distance from 100m to marathon, running 45 mpw for an hour.

I will say no, but only on a technicality. In your title, you mention \"ALL the men\'s world records\", but I have a hard time accepting that you will get a dog of any breed focused enough to get the 3000 SC record. A border collie could certainly leep high enough to get over the 36\" barriers, but I\'m not sure they could maintain the focus to navigate the barriers and water jumps for 3000 meters.

Greyhounds are good jumpers -- the steeple wouldn\'t be a problem.

Are there such a thing as canine olympics???

an australian keplie could easily break the steepchase record...

I don't thinks so, but having mix breed dog racing at 100m, 1500m, 10K and marathon would be much more popular than the equestrain events currently in the Olympics. If horses can be in the Olympics, why can't man's best friend?

Or how about a doggie DMR? I bet they could hand off the baton as good as, if not better than, our human sprinters.

In order to get them into the Olympics, we need dwarf jockeys. I think straight midgets would be too heavy. Or toddlers, but then you need some type of age exemption.

An ostrich can outrun any human because they can sleep while running by shutting down half its brain.

Pronghorns are not antelopes.

A team of dolphins could beat a team of Olympic water polo players at water polo and it wouldn't even be close.
