Elwood, the tiny Jack Russell terrier may be the smallest dog in the world. According to his owners, Elwood is 3 and a half inches (9 centimeters) tall, 6 inches (15 centimeters) long and he is only 15 oz (425 grams). Elwood has already passed the one-year age milestone, so if his measurements were confirmed by Guinness, he could officially become the World’s smallest dog, breaking the rule of chihuahuas and teacup yorkies.
Meanwhile, you can watch Elwood doing tricks:

OMG that dog should be in the movies!!!!
Wow! He’s so awesome! I have trained Great Danes and a Bloodhoundo
Elwood is adorable and extremely smart. He shows the intelligence usually attributed to a Jack Russell. Was he bred to be that small or was it nature’s magic?
I am curious, does he have any health issues associated with his petite size?
I’m officially in love with Elwood. How old is he and does he have any health issues with his small size?
I met Elwood today! He is so cute and tiny!
sooo… Elwood just happens to love talk show hosts who might put him on tv and make you famous? And not because you say their names while giving him treats? Sounds a bit dodgy really.
Why would anyone promote breeders who are intentionally profiting by selling dogs that are bred well below any recognized breed standard? As a result of such practices these “teacup” type dogs, often suffer serious health consequences and enjoy significantly shortened life spans. Exploitation comes in many forms!

Christ on a bike – why can’t some people just leave off with the sniping, jealous and negative comments!?!? Elwood is gorgeous, and in my opinion deserves to be on TV! He is also very lucky indeed to have the longevity gene that all JR’s have, my JR lived to be 19, I miss him dearly! Way to go Elwood! And to his owner, you’re very lucky indeed x
