here is boo boo the chihuahua’s amazing story …
a tiny chihuahua has taken a giant leap into history after the guinness book of world records officially named it the new title holder for world’s smallest dog.
at just four inches tall, “boo-boo,” a diminutive dog in raceland, ky., just edged out another chihuahua to win the crown.
lana elswick says boo-boo was born the size of her thumb. elswick says from the beginning she knew her dog was special, but it wasn’t until a few weeks ago that she knew just how special.
“there was this contest going on between two little dogs, but i knew i had the smallest one. but, i just had to wait until i had my certificate to show everyone,” elswick says.
the guinness book now considers the full-grown though petite pet the smallest dog in the world, nearly an inch smaller than the previous record holder.

elswick says boo-boo lives a life of luxury now, eating a quality meal while getting plenty of playtime in between.
“she doesn’t like dog food, so i fix her ground turkey and put peas in it. that’s her breakfast,” she says. “and then she likes to lay in her bed and sleep after she eats. and they she likes to get up and play with her toys.”
according to the guinness web site, in comparison, the world’s tallest dog is gibson, a harlequin great dane, who measured 42.2 inches tall on aug. 31, 2004 and is owned by sandy hall of grass valley, calif.

I love all animals,but i have a special place in my heart for the tiny ones.
I bought my chi two weeks before Christmas now he is four months old and weighs 1 lb. 3oz. I do not know his height as of rt now but he is very tiny. On his next visit to the vets office I’m going to have his height checked. I’m wondering if he might break your record. 🙂

My dog is only a little bigger than boo boo! Her name is Dee Dee!
Amazing! So tiny and so sweet.
What a picture! I didn’t notice the perspective at first—the big dog is much closer to the camera, so I thought he was even BIGGER! Still, the contrast is striking—it really drives home the wonderful variety of this creature we call “dog.”
I very much enjoyed the video’s and I think Boo Boo is so cute. When you come to Alabama again I sure want to meet you guys.

How is a dog entered in a contest as being the smallest in the world? I have a fawn longcoat male, Oklahoma Twister, that weighs 1 lb 12 ounces on postage scales. He was a year old May 22, 2010. I don’t know how tall he is, I don’t know if the measurement is taken at the shoulder or top of the head.
boo boo is so cute .x
I love Boo Boo…she is soo cute!! I have three chihuahua furry babies. IMO Chihuahua is tiny angel!!
BOOBOO LOOKS LIKE SHE IS LIVING LIKE A QUEEN!
