Jodie Brazil believes that her pet chihuahua could even be the smallest dog in the world!

Jodie, of Wheatley Hall Road, revealed that her pretty pooch four-year old Lacy Lou is ‘smaller than a Barbie doll’ and can stand across the palms of her hands.

The pocket-sized pet, who loves nothing better than travelling around in Jodie’s handbag, has even received offers from the world of show business because of her miniscule proportions.

Jodie explained: “I got Lacy Lou as an eight-week-old puppy from a breeder in Luton.The breeder told me that his father, a pure white Chihuahua, has worked in the Nickelodeon studios in America and that some members of his family had been in the Guinness Book of Records for being so small.

"She told me that Lacy Lou is a special dog and at the time I did not know whether to believe her or not. His mother was also tiny, but as time passed, Lacy remained breed puppy . I was once his walk on the beach at Eastbourne, when I lived in the south, and someone came to me and offered me £ 4,000 for her. I said no, I do the 'd never sell.I was also approached by the man who trained the parrot to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, who said she would do well in show business. "

When Jodie is out to Doncaster with his tiny animal, she is regularly stopped by members of the public are surprised by the size Lacy Lou.

She said: "People often ask me if they can take pictures of her. It is so small, it's incredible. I was advised by a veterinarian that I can not reproduce it because it is so small that it could put your health at risk. As the world of show business, I do not know.If the right offer came, and Lacy was happy with it, we could go for it. I used to be a model part time and she loved posing with me. She also enjoys having her nails painted and dressed. "

Chihuahuas were originally thought to be descendants of an ancient, similar, but slightly larger breed associated with royalty in Aztec civilizations known as the Techichi. However, due to the lack of archaeological remains it is now believed that Chihuahuas were brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers. The most current theory holds that Spanish merchants brought Chihuahuas to Spain by way of their trade routes with China and from there to Mexico. The well documented practice in China of dwarfing both plants and animals is the basis for the theory that Chihuahuas originated there.[citation needed]But another theory is that they originated in Egypt and were traded into Spain and later Mexico.

Chihuahuas were first taken into the United States by American visitors to Mexico. The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog in the world and is named for the Chihuahua region in Mexico.

Chihuahuas are best known for their small size and large erect ears.

The AKC (American Kennel Club) recognizes two varieties of Chihuahua: the long-coat and the smooth-coat. Many smooth-coat Chihuahuas have very thin hair, but other smooth coats have a very dense, thick coat.

Breed standards for this dog do not generally specify a height, only a weight and a description of their overall proportions. As a result, height varies more than within many other breeds. Generally, the height ranges between six and ten inches at the withers. However, some dogs grow as tall as twelve to fifteen inches. AKC show dogs must weigh no more than six lb (2.7 kg); the FCI standard calls for dogs ideally between 1.5 and three kg (3.3 to 6.6 lb), although smaller ones are acceptable in the show ring. However, pet-quality Chihuahuas (that is, those bred or purchased as companions rather than show dogs) can, and do, range above these weights, to ten pounds or even more if they have large bone structures or are allowed to become overweight. This does not mean they are not purebred Chihuahuas, it only means that they do not meet the requirements to enter a conformation show. Oversize Chihuahuas are seen in some of the best, and worst, bloodlines.
