Smallest and biggest dog breeds takes UK's tallest and shortest men for a walk

The dog for you is not always the one you think, says the Kennel Club, ahead of its Discover Dogs event. Statistics reveal people are following fashion and not doing their research..

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

Discover Dogs, taking place at Earls Court on 9 and 10 November, enables people to meet more than 200 breeds of dog under one roof. The Kennel Club is reminding people to do their research about differences between the various dog breeds, and to not always opt for the popular or fashionable choice.

New research by the Kennel Club has found that one in ten people do no research about which breed would be right for their lifestyle before they buy a dog.
