Little and large dog walk
James Lusted with great dane Ruach

Tallest and shortest men walk chihuahua and great dane

The UK’s tallest man, Neil Fingleton, and one of the UK’s shortest men, James Lusted, took Pickle the Chihuahua and Ruach the Great Dane for a walk in London’s Green Park, ahead of the Kennel Club’s Discover Dogs event.

Discover Dogs, which will take place at Earls Court on December 9 and 10, will enable people to meet more than 200 breeds of dog under one roof.

The Kennel Club is reminding people to do their research about various dog breeds and not to opt for the fashionable or popular option. It says: “The dog for you is not always the one you think.”

Research by the Kennel Club found that one in ten people do not research dog breeds and which breed would be right for their lifestyle before they buy a dog.

Neil Fingleton took Pickle for a walk, while James Lusted took Ruach, highlighting the need to ensure the breed you buy is right for you.

The Kennel Club are keen to increase the population of native breeds such as the English Toy Terrier, as their numbers are declining due to fashionable breeds of foreign origin being far more popular, such as the Chihuahua.

People are invited to Discover Dogs by the Kennel Club to find the right breed for them, and to explore the differences between the nation’s 212 breeds.
