Chihuahua Slightly Taller Than a Teacup is Named World's Shortest Dog

Chihuahua Slightly Taller Than a Teacup is Named World's Shortest Dog
She comes from a lineage of tiny and relatively calm Chihuahuas, with her ancestor Miracle Milly, being the previous World Record holder.

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 lineage of tiny and relatively calm Chihuahuas, with her ancestor Miracle Milly, being the previous Guinness World Record holder for shortest dog.

"We're blessed to have her," said Vanesa Semler, Pearl's owner. "And to have this unique opportunity to break our own record and share with the world this amazing news."

A diva at heart, Pearl is fond of high-quality pet food, wearing accessories like glittering collars and sweaters, and listening to classical music.

Pearl being measured by wicket – Guinness World Records

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.
