Are you a dog person? 🐕

Here at Guinness World Records, we love to champion talented doggos with superlative skills.

Whether these cool canines can skateboard, shoot basketballs or stand taller than their pooch peers, they are all Officially Amazing! 🥳

Let’s meet some of the newest furry members of the GWR family… 

Largest Dachshund dog walk

CUTENESS OVERLOAD! 😍

To become the first holders of the largest Dachshund dog walk record, 342 mutts and their owners met up for a wander around Marble Hill House in London, UK.

The event was organised by Agria Pet Insurance, who donated £5 to Dachshund Rescue UK for every pup that took part. 

What is your favourite breed of dogs? 🐕


Longest human tunnel travelled through by a dog on a skateboard

Japanese super pooch Coda wagged his way to GWR glory by travelling under the legs of 40 people… on a skateboard! 🛹

The English Cocker Spaniel broke this record on our Italian TV series, Lo Show dei Record, in Milan, Italy. 📺

With the help of his owner Satomi Asano, Coda zoomed past the previous mark of 33.

How pawesome is that? (ha! get it?) 🐾

Most times to catch a flying disc (frisbee) over 10 metres by a dog in 3 minutes

In just 3 minutes, Sully the 6-year-old Border Collie caught a frisbee 22 times with the help of his human grandpa, Scott Howard, from USA. 🥏

Scott thought that attempting this record would be fun and memorable because whenever he looks after Sully for his daughter and son-in-law, they play with frisbees in the garden.

Such a cute idea! 🩷

Milo also holds the record for most consecutive basketballs traversed by a dog (10).

He is a su-paw-star! ⭐
