Worlds tallest dog Irish Wolfhound is regarded as the tallest of all breeds of dogs, followed by Great Dane Worlds smallest dog The smallest dog in history was a tiny Yorkie from Blackburn, England. At two years of age and fully-grown this little dude was an incredible 2.5 inches tall by 3.75 inches long! He weighed only 4 ounces HE was approximately the size of a matchbox. Worlds oldest dog The oldest dog that has been reliably documented was an Australian cattle-dog-named Bluey. He was put to sleep at the age of 29 years and 5 months Did you know?That all dogs from the St. Bernard to the tiny Poodle are direct descendants of wolves. They can all breed together and produce fertile offspring. Technically they are of the same species.
