world records held by dogs

Penny doesn't hold any world records, which I think is a rather good thing, because I like her just as she is - maybe fame would go to her head, as it seems to do for humans.

However, when browsing the web I read at Canis online,a German blog, that Augie, a golden retriever,holds the world record for having tennis balls in the mouth - five balls. Of course, I had to see that for myself, so I went to Guinness World Records and saw a picture of her performing that feat.

Equally amazing was the record for the fastest time that a dog has unwound a car window - 11.34 seconds. Thank goodness Penny doesn't know how to do that.

Oh, but there are other Goldens that can hold 5 or more tennis balls in the mouth. I can only hold two the max but still, they tend to slip out on the sides. My mouth is too small & my lips are not big enuf to hold them in, lol! My hoomans will not be too happee of me winding down the car window. I've broken a record before & that record was me having the most clips on the face! If you search for my previous post or if you look at the sidebar, you can see a pic of me with more than 10 clips on my face. I'm the 1st dog in the world to have clips clipped to my face, hahahahaha!!!! I should be in the book or records man...

Amber, I remember that you can manage lots of clips on your face but I can't find the picture or the right posting at your blog. What date was it?

Yes, now I remember. It was a great post, Amber, and I learned how to do the shy trick.
