Video: Meet Tigger the bloodhound who has the longest ears on a dog ever
Published 21 July 2016
While taking a look through the huge Guinness World Records video library we found this amazing clip of Tigger the Bloodhound who holds the record for the Longest ears on a dog ever.
His super-long lobes measure a total of 69.1 cm (2 ft 3 in).
His left ear is 34.2 cm (13.5 in) long and his right ear is even longer at 34.9 cm (13.75 in).
Tigger won many show titles including over 180 Best of Breed awards. He was even inducted into the Bloodhound 'Hall of Fame' in 2003.
This incredible canine is owned by Bryan and Christina Flessner who are from St Joseph, Illinois in the USA.
Bryan told Guinness World Records that he had to spend a lot of time cleaning and looking after the dog’s record-breaking ears.
Tigger met fellow record-setting pooch Sweet Pea during a photoshoot for the Guinness World Records 2010 book.
Tigger sadly passed away in October 2009 - but his name lives on in the history books.
A black and tan coonhound named Harbor has the Longest ears on a dog living, with measurements of 31.1 cm (12.25 in) for the left ear and 34.3 cm (13.5 in) for the right, as of 8 June 2010.
This breed is traditionally a hunting dog and is famous for its droopy ears which it uses to sweep up scents from the ground. However, with his Guinness World Records title Harbor is way ahead of the pack.
