I planted some burford holly 3 years ago and the neighbors goats ate them and they came back and have grown pretty quickly. It said slow growth on the tag, but I think they have doubled in size. I love them because they are ever green and glossy and sort of deer resistant. (deer will eat anything... but these are last resort I hope, although the goats ate them immediately, go figure...) Of course there is always the possibility that the tag was wrong. But at any rate they are a holly of some sort, you may also consider yews?
