Dog Sets World Record For Longest Ears
Colorado Coonhound's Ears Measure 12, 13 Inches Long

Posted: Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Guinness World Records

Harbor, a black and tan coonhound from Boulder, Colo., has earned recognition from Guinness World Records as the living dog with the world's longest ears.

When measured by officials, Harbor's ears were 12.25 inches for the left ear and 13.5 inches for the right.

Owner Jennifer Wert told The Associated Press when her 8-year-old was a puppy, he would trip on his ears and roll down stairs.

These days, Wert said people often stop them to ask questions, take photos or tug on his ears.

The extra-long ears displayed on most hounds, particularly the Coonhound, are used not for hearing but primarily for smell. Harbor uses his ears close to the ground to sweep odours up into his nose.

Tigger, a deceased bloodhound from Illinois, laid claim to the previous record with a 13.75-inch right ear and a 13.5 inch-left ear, the AP reported.
