These dogs at the dogpark are almost greyhound like. What SS would you recommend?

Okay I was doing like 1/400 - 1/640 and they weren't that sharp but I think it was due to motion blur more than anything.

Greyhounds hit about 40mph or 704 in/sec. At 1/1000 they are still covering 0.7 inches!

I would generally agree that 1/1000 is a good minimum for reliably sharp shots. Of course, if the dog is running across your FOV then you should be panning. If the dog is coming towards you then I'm sure 1/1000 should be sufficient for most needs.

Here's an example of my lurcher, Zippy, plus 100% crop, at 1/500 (EXIF intact)....

Here's a greyhound, playing chase with my lurcher (the dog above), at 1/1250 and with sharpening at Lightroom defaults....
