Coco the dog, from California, USA, has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest eyelash on a dog ever.
The six-year-old newfiedoodle dog is named Coco and is a hybrid between a Newfoundland and a poodle. Rachelle Parks and Michael Babich own it.
The dog’s eyelash measures 17.8 cm (7 inches) in length, the longest in the world. This record has been going on for more than 20 years, and the standard has progressed massively since then. It was initially held in 2000 by the golden Cocker Spaniel Sua (Spain), who had 4 cm (1.57 in) lashes, according to the Guinness World Record.
The longest lash on each dog is far longer than the previous record, which has been broken numerous times. For example, the Australian labradoodle Ranmura (Japan), who held the last record in 2014, had lashes that measured 17 cm (6.69 in).
A veterinarian has confirmed that Coco’s eyelashes are safe and have no effect on her vision other than making her the most attractive dog in the park.
The record book also states that Coco’s lashes were confirmed to have grown entirely naturally without any help. In addition, the distance between the eyelid and the tip of the eyelash was estimated.
The proud owners of Coco, Rachelle Parks and her husband, Michael Babich, are pleased by this news.
Rachelle Parks said, “When we go out, she gets a lot of attention, not just because of her lashes but also because of her size; she’s a big girl. People are amazed at her lashes. A few years ago, they were like 5 1/2 inches long, and when I checked on Guinness World Records, the current world record was longer.”
“Late last year, I checked again, and they had grown a lot, and then I realized that she would break the record, so I applied. I’m sure they are still growing, and I also tell the groomer not to cut them,” she continued.
