Sylvia, who was the smallest female dog ever, was 2.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches long. And, she only weighs 4 ounces. Unfortunately, she died in 1945. Sylvia also came from a Yorkshire Terrier the size of a matchbox. Sylvia is a Latin dog name meaning woods or forests.

Tiny Pinocchio grew 2.75 inches tall and 8 inches long. His teacher likes to put a red ribbon on Tiny Pinocchio’s head. It is so small that you could step on it. So, she goes in a birdcage if there are guests. Her nickname is Noki. She is just a short form of Tiny Pinocchio.
