Dear Readers

After reading about the World largest dog, we thought we share some official Guinness record holders and some unofficial record holders in canine world

• The largest dog record is presently held  by Hercules, a 282-pound English Mastiff with a 38-inch neck…
•  The longs ears record on a dog measured 34.9 cm (13.75 in) and 34.2 cm (13.5 in) for the right and left ears, respectively, on September 29, 2004. They belong to Tigger, a bloodhound, who is owned by Bryan and Christina Flessner of St Joseph, Illinois, USA.

• An English Mastiff,  named Zorba, went down in history as the heaviest and tallest dog ever in 1989 with a weight of 343lbs and measured over 8 feet from nose to tail. 

• The tallest dog living is Gibson, a harlequin great Dane, who measured 107 cm (42.2 in) tall on August 31, 2004 and is owned by Sandy Hall of Grass Valley, California, USA.
•  Kell. another English Mastiff, is from the UK and took the record for being the heaviest dog in the world with a weight of 286 pounds… 
• The worlds  smallest dog record in terms of length is Heaven Sent Brandy, a female chihuahua who measured 15.2 cm (6 in) from the nose to the tip of the tail on January 31, 2005. Brandy lives with her owner, Paulette Keller in Largo, Florida, USA.
• The world record for the most tennis balls held in the mouth by a dog at one time is five. Augie, a golden retriever owned by the Miller family in Dallas, Texas, USA, successfully gathered and held all five regulation-sized tennis balls on July 6, 2003.  At one of the animal hospitals I worked at we have a Golden retriever that would try to pick up as many paper balls as you could throw,  I think her record was 12.
• A dog named Word was held on doggy death row for a total of eight years and 190 days. Word, a Lhasa Apso owned by Wilton Rabon of Seattle, Washington, USA was initially incarcerated at the Seattle Animal Control Shelter, USA on May 4, 1993 following two biting incidents but was later released on November 10, 2001 where he was transported to the Pigs Peace Sanctuary, Washington, USA.
• The world record for the highest jump cleared by a dog is 172.7 cm (68 in), achieved by Cinderella May a Holly Grey, owned by Kate Long and Kathleen Conroy (both USA) of Miami, Florida, USA, at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals, Gray Summit, Missouri, USA on 7 October 2006.
• The fastest time a dog has unwound a non-electric car window is 11.34 seconds and was achieved by Striker, a border collie owned and trained by Francis V. Gadassi (Hungary). The record was set on September 1, 2004 in Quebéc City, Canada.
• We ( Brew and I) are working on the record of the most bird chased off the beach  record .  I watch… he chases

 Tomorrow we take on the cat’s
