A 2-year-old Chihuahua named Pearl is officially the world’s shortest dog, as confirmed by her vet, and Guinness World Records.
Pearl measures 3. 59 inches (9. 14 cm) in height, meaning she’s shorter than a popsicle stick. She has her head to thank for being longer than a dollar bill, at 5 inches (12. 7 cm).
She comes from a family of small and calm Chihuahuas. Her ancestor Miracle Milly was the former Guinness World Record Holder for the shortest dog.
“We are blessed to own her, Vanesa Semler said, Pearl’s proprietor. – This is a rare opportunity for us to share this incredible news with everyone.”
A diva at heart, Pearl is fond of high-quality pet food, wearing accessories like glittering collars and sweaters, and listening to classical music.
As is customary for dogs, her height was measured with a “measuring wicket,” and was carried out from the bottom of the foot to the “withers” which is a ridge between the shoulderblades present in all dogs.
Pearl loves the attention her short stature attracts, including from Vanessa’s three other dogs, who are all “normal” sizes.
