Sylvia The Tiny Yorkie
Sylvia (pictured below), a matchbox-size Yorkshire terrier owned by Arthur Marples of Blackburn, England, was the smallest dog in recorded history. The dog died in 1945 when she was two years old, at which point she stood 2.5 inches tall at the shoulder, measured 3.5 inches from nose tip to tail, and weighed 4 ounces. For 1995 through 2002 Guinness World Records listed a Yorkshire terrier named Big Boss, as the smallest dog in the world. Big Boss was listed at 11.94 cm (4.7 in) tall when his owner, Dr. Chai Khanchanakom of Thailand, registered the toy dog with Guinness. A Yorkie named Thumbelina, 5.5 inches tall and 8 inches long, held the Guinness World Record for smallest living dog prior to 1995. Tiny Pinocchio, an abnormally small Yorkshire terrier, has appeared on several television programs including Oprah and the Today Show.  · |
