Orlando, FL – A two-year-old female Chihuahua named Pearl (USA; b. 1 September 2020) is now officially the world’s shortest dog living.
Pearl measures 9.14 cm (3.59 in) in height, meaning she’s shorter than a popsicle stick. In length, Pearl measures 12.7 cm (5.0 in) – around the same size as a dollar bill – and weighs 553 g (1.22 lb).
Pearl is a relative of the previous record holder, Miracle Milly (9.65 cm; 3.8 in), who sadly passed away in 2020 before Pearl was born. Pearl is the daughter of one of Milly’s identical sisters.
