I've been spending some time in my back yard taking pictures of my two 
puppies cavorting in the snow. For the most part, I am getting in focus 
pictures using continuous AF. It falls on it's face when my Belgian is 
running right at me ang gets within about 6 meters or so, but she tends to 
be running flat out, and is very fast. I doubt very much if the high end 
Canons would have a better chance in this situation.
