One-year-old Boo Boo the Chihuahua is Guinness Book of World Records' smallest living dog (in height). According to her owner in Raceland, KY, Boo Boo was fed with an eye dropper every two hours when she was a newborn one ounce pup. That's right—one ounce. I love her little expression which seems to say, "See the matchbox? I'm not much bigger. Love me, please."
Thanks, Spluch!

Awww! I am a sucker for chihuahuas!
1Ah!! I just went gold with that post!!
2That's because Boo Boo is good luck.
3boo boo!!!
4Haha, I think my guinea pigs may be bigger than her!!
5It could be Barbies dog!
6I wish my dog was that small..then I could take him everywhere!!
7Holy crap! There are bumble bees bigger than that dog! How do you not step on it?!
8My dog who died two years ago was nicknamed Boo Boo...sniff! This little dog is precious.
9I usually don't go for little yappers, but this is SO cute!
10This is kind of sad to me- probably the product of inbreeding for the "smallest possible dog!" I would be concerned about medical conditions when it is that small.
11shes adorable
12love her! is she in barbie clothes???
13too Cute!!! I want one or tow or three....
14Dress or no dress It looks like Gizmo.
15I'd be afraid I'd break her!
16I would so step on this dog in the middle of the night on my way to the bathroom, were she mine. She's a cutie (though I agree with CestLaVie as far as medical concerns and inbreeding go), but I can't be trusted with anything smaller than a Golden Retriever.
And WHY must people put dogs in clothes? Dogs don't need clothes to be cute!
17sick nasty!
18World's cutest dog! Her tiny little face has big love in it! And her paws!!
19Boo Boo looks like a papillon!
20Sick and sad.
Dogs aren't accessories. Small dogs like that have health problems as well as skeletal problems.
Ugh.
21That's not cute. It's sad. Imagine the world from his frightened point of view.
22I want a dog soooo bad!
23aw cute doggie! i'm sure he has a great life like my puppy!
24OMG I loooove tiny dogs. How cute!
25AWWW! How cute. My dog (who will be 2 yrs old on New Years Eve) is 2lbs and smaller than a tv remote.
LOL
But Boo Boo beats that!
Too cute.
26I HATE when people spout off about something that they know next to nothing about without at least doing a little homework first. JUST SO YOU KNOW - My sister is Boo Boo's owner. She is a certified breeder and does NOT inbreed. Toy, teacup, and miniature breeds are not the effects of inbreeding. They result from mating the smallest from SEPARATE litters from DIFFERENT mothers and doing the same with their smallest pups until the desired size is reached. Boo Boo was a runt born prematurely and will stay small because of this and her applied genetics. Her brother is barely much bigger than her and he was full term. As for health problems, many breeds possess problems that come with the gene pool. Chihuahuas are not anymore subject to chronic health issues than any other breed. I personally had a friend who owned five of them and ALL of them lived to be at least 16. One made it 25, no kidding. It mainly depends on how well the owner takes care of them...just like children.
27pwned
28I recently saw boo-boo on the Oprah winfrey show, and your sister said she had raised Boo-boo since she was 2 days old on a bottle. The only reason i can see why the dog is so small is because she should have been raised with her mother and the rest of her brothers n sisters! It SICKENS me to see a dog soo SMALL and TIMID looking, get a real big dog who doesn't bark all the time and has a real PERSONALITY! I also think you need to DO YOUR HOMEWORK because Chihuahas do have more health issues than other breeds, all little dogs do. Oh yea id also like too see PROOF that a dog lived to 25 sounds like BS to me Pffft

30Teacups are big business. While undoubtedly cute and often surprisingly good-natured, most owners don’t know the trouble that goes into crafting these hamster-sized dogs.
Trouble = spontaneous abortions, mummified pups, C-sections with 50% survivability rates (if they’re lucky enough to be cut in time), pyometra and peritonitis (if they aren’t), neonatal pup attrition (death), and long-term immunologic, orthopedic, cardiac, respiratory or gastrointestinal dysfunction (to name a few)—not to mention the unlucky breaks that come with being tiny—easy fractures, severe periodontal disease, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, etc…
31awwww!!!! how cute but doesnt booboo get sick alot cuz shes so small? i bet its hard to mkeep her healthy huh.
32I saw this dog on animal planet. it said that when she was born she was the size of her owners thumd and almost didn't survie :*(
33I was told to go check out this site cuz I have a tiny dog, he is smaller then Boo Boo, he is all most 3 1/2 in tall and weighs 14 oz he is now 9 mo’s old, and I also have to work hard to keep the weigh on. The vet say’s he is healthy and everything’s seems to be working great, by the time he was 3 mo’s he already knew about 15 tricks and now he knows more. Don’t know if I would do the world record thing though I here a lot of negative things
34i wonder how big it was as a puppy!
35I hope this doesnt offend boo boo but i actually thing my rat westley is smaller then boo boo.
36cute
tho i would like to pointout that there is no such thing as a teacup chi
these are runts breed to runts.... fourtunaly this one looks very happy!
i know a person with a "teacup" & she has so many health risks that she is not aloud outside without a person next to her all the time.
on another note, chi's are actualy very healthy dogs in general, they have no major health conserns.... mabey you should check out animal planets pet breed selector, there is alot of good info on there page!
37he is so small i could eat him but i dont want to dogs r petz not food
