Undertoad Friday Dec 29 09:59 AMDecember 29, 2006: World's smallest dog
Neatorama finds this item and I nick it just in time for a Friday image. Meet Brandy, who Guinness has just labeled the smallest dog in the world. From the full story:
Quote:
Size: 6 inches measured from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.
Weight: 1 pound, 13 ounces.
That proof, along with a picture of Brandy splayed across a dollar bill, was sent to Guinness.
So in the 2006 Guinness book, there is bug-eyed Brandy, on the same page with the dog who can fit the most tennis balls in its mouth 5. Seeing this, you wonder how many tiny chihuahuas it could carry.
The perks so far have numbered just one. Last year, the Pedigree dog food company paid to fly Ron and Paulette Keller to Reno, where Brandy was paired with one of the largest dogs in the world for a three-day exhibit at Harrah's casino. Next to the other dog, a Great Dane, Brandy looked like a chew toy.

Shawnee123 Friday Dec 29 10:09 AMThat is NOT a dog. That, my friend, is a glorified rat.
Sheldonrs Friday Dec 29 10:10 AMAt what point does a dog stop being a dog and start being an insect? 1 lb 13Oz seems about right.
Trilby Friday Dec 29 10:16 AMThat's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Spexxvet Friday Dec 29 10:28 AMJust the right size to fit on a roll! Roast it on a stick over the campfire, and, voila!, dinner for one.
BobT Friday Dec 29 10:36 AMthose chihuahuas have been known to KILL a great dane.......they get suck in the dane's throat and choke them to death.

Elspode Friday Dec 29 10:47 AMIf the owners had only hung Brandy up to dry instead of running her through the dryer, this never would have happened.

OK, and a 50lb bag of food would probably be a lifetime supply.

CaliforniaMama Friday Dec 29 01:19 PMGotta watch out for the fur getting stuck in your teeth, though. Better to skin 'em.

wolf Saturday Dec 30 01:29 AMOh, dear. If only they had thought to scale down the eyes with the rest of her.
Karenv Saturday Dec 30 03:39 PMDid you see the article on the Japanese craze for tiny dogs that has made the country the canine genetic defect capitol of the world?

Then they could calculate the risk factors of inbreeding and chances of having successfully replicated specific genes and get even MORE perfect little dogs!
