Smallest Chihuahua in the World?

Thanks for coming back! I appreciate it.

This picture of Lulu the Chihuahua puppy is care of the Ross Parry Agency

I read today in the British newspaper the Telegraph online about a really tiny Chihuahua bred in Yorkshire, England. Lulu (pictured above) is only four inches high at nine weeks. Her owner, Jean Tindall, who has bred Chihuahuas for most of her life, says she's never seen a smaller one and won't be selling her even though she's had a lot of interest in the tiny puppy.

Have you come across a Chihuahua puppy this small? You can read the entire article here.

Operation Chihuahua!

Rebecca Katz, director of San Francisco’s Animal Care and Control Agency

The numbers of Chihuahuas turning up in rescue centres across the United States since the release of the movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" have reached crisis point.

The problem is particularly bad in California where it has been dubbed the "Paris Hilton syndrome". In December twenty-five Chihuahuas were flown from Los Angeles to New Hampshire to be rehomed. Forty more are being prepared to make the same journey early this year.

Last week Virgin America flew 15 Chihuahuas from San Francisco to New York for rehoming. You can find Operation Chihuahua pictures and videos on Virgin America's Facebook page.

I bought a dog from a breeder when I got Farfl because it was the first dog I'd had in many years and I didn't want too many surprises. I know if and when I ever get another dog it will be a rescue Chihuahua. It saddens me that prospective owners don't do any research on dog ownership and the breed in general - they just see a cute dog in a purse or in a movie and buy one thinking it will be no more effort than owning a stuffed animal.

Farfl the Charity Chihuahua

Farfl appears on the publicity for a stand-up comedy charity event.

In a couple of weeks' time I'm doing a benefit comedy gig in aid of Gilda's Club Toronto - a charity named for Gilda Radner which supports cancer patients and their families.

Before Christmas we had the photo shoot in front of the famous red door of Gilda's Club. I took Farfl along and she ended up being in all the publicity pictures (check her out on the far left)!

It was a fairly brisk day so I bundled her up in her snowsuit and when we went for brunch afterwards she went to sleep inside her pet carrier and we didn't hear a peep out of her.

If you're in Toronto on Tuesday January 19th and you'd like to come and see some of the best female comics in town then check out the full details of the event on my personal website.

Thanks so much to Cylla Von Tiedemann for donating the photoshoot as her contribution to the event.

Chihuahua advanced training graduation

We couldn't find a mortar board big enough so Farfl stood on top of it instead.....

Right before Christmas Farfl and her fellow chihuahuas graduated from their advanced training course at PetSmart.
