Random queries no.12

One of a series of genuine search engine enquiries which successfully brought visitors to the Ministry.  Can I help?

MPH of bearded collies

Laden or unladen?

A greyhound can run at 42 mph, a Pekingese can probably manage 3-4 mph if the doting owner picks it up, and I've found references to border collies reaching 25-30 mph, but I'm afraid I know virtually nothing about bearded collies. A couple of Google links cite 8-9 mph over obstacle courses at dog shows.

Good question, though as usual I'm surprised it brought you to the Ministry.
