World's Smallest Dog?

World's smallest dog

This Chihuahua, measuring only 4 inches tall and 18 ounces, is likely to be the world’s smallest dog. The dog’s owner, Jenny Gomes, says that Dancer will likely be named the world’s smallest living dog in the Guiness Book of World Records.

Even if Dancer outsizes another dog and misses the cut, he still has my vote for world’s cutest small dog. Link [Orlando Sentinel] via Spluch

    I wonder if they/I'm assuming that they got the name from the Elton John song? As in "hold me closer tiny dancer"...

    Surely it's more like 8 inches tall (have a look at the picture, 4 inches on that tape goes from the middle of the front leg up to the eyeball).

    It's probably 4 inches from its belly to the middle of its back.

    Still tiny, though.

    I call BS on "4 inches tall." Unless that tape measure is incorrect, that puppy is much taller than that at the withers, and possibly double that to the top of the head.

    Of course, the perspective in the photo might be totally an optical illusion, in which case you can disregard all of the above.

    You've been had. That's not a dog at all.
    That's the world's tiniest sheep.

    They're selling like hotcakes in Japan.

    That's not a dog. That's not a sheep.

    Put it on a leash and you'll see: it's BAIT.

    I was at a airport a few years back and saw 2 of he smallest dogs I have ever seen, I think they were terriers but cant remember for sure. the owners did say they were called tsp and tablespoon terriers I believe. has anyone heard of these types of dogs? If you can help me out that would be wonderful.

    That dog looks to be 8 inches, unless they're measuring up to the withers as done for horses.
