Saturday Survey: Award-Winning Dogs

We posted earlier this week about Harbor, the dog who was recently named as being the world-record holder for having the longest ears on a living dog.  It made me think about awards my dogs might be able to win.  I think their biggest talent is the Oscar-winning performance they give, trying to convince each of us that no one else in the house fed them yet.  Continue reading Saturday Survey: Award-Winning Dogs

World Record Ears

Congratulations to Harbor, an 8-year old Black and Tan Coonhound from Colorado, who has just been named the world record holder for having the longest ears on any living dog.

Like most of us, Harbor is not perfectly symmetrical.  His right ear measures 13.5 inches long, while the left one is 12.25 inches.

His mom says he used to trip over his ears when he was younger, but has since grown into them.

The longest ears on any dog ever?  Tigger, a Bloodhound had ears measuring 13.5 and 13.75 inches.  Sadly, he was taken from us too soon, in 2009.

Until next time,

Good day. and good dog!
