IT'S A DOG'S LIFE (continued): • Although the collie has never made it to the Number One spot in popularity, its status took a huge leap during the 1940s after the release of the hit film Lassie Come Home, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Roddy McDowall. It maintained the rank of third for several years, aided by the long-running Lassie television series. The collie now places 35th. Likewise, the 1962 movie Big Red about an Irish setter vaulted that breed into 3rd place for a time, but it now ranks #72. • For city folks and apartment dwellers, small dogs are the most popular, with the Yorkshire terrier leading the pack, followed by the poodle, dachshund, and Shih Tzu. The Shih Tzu originated in China, and was once the prized pet of that country’s royalty during the Ming Dynasty. It weighs between 11 and 16 lbs. and stands about 10.5 inches tall. • It’s no surprise that the Chihuahua is the smallest breed. This breed’s owners can expect their dog to weigh under 6 pounds and measure between 6 and 9 inches tall and live between 10 and 18 years. The record holder of the title of world’s smallest dog is Milly, a Chihuahua living in Puerto Rico. She stands just 3.8 inches tall and weighs about a pound. Milly’s birth weight was less than an ounce and she fit nicely in a teaspoon. • Close behind the Chihuahua in size is the Affenpinscher, a German breed belonging to the Pinscher-Schnauzer family, dating back to the 17th century. Its unusual name is the result of its odd monkey-like facial expression. In the German language, Affen means “monkey,” and the breed has earned the nickname “monkey dog.” It weighs between 7 and 9 lbs. and stands less than a foot tall.
