The tiniest dog in the UK! At under nine inches tall, Sporle mini mutt Daisy can fit inside a shoe!

The smallest dog in Britain has been revealed, and it's a Yorkshire-Chihuahua cross that's only eight-and-a-half inches tall, about the size of an iPad mini,and lives near Swaffham.

Grace Sheppard, from Sporle, lives with her husband and children and Daisy, who weighs in at a teeny 31oz.

The Chihuahua is so small that she can fit inside a shoe and mum Grace, 26 said she "loves to be carried".

Grace told the Sun newspaper: "She may be a little – but she has a big heart. She is just so loving.

"My husband could hold her in the palm of his hand when we got her as a puppy at eight weeks.

“We were told that she was mostly Chihuahua, but had a little bit of Yorkshire terrier in her her.

“I expected her to grow to be the size of a normal Chihuahua – but she never did.

“I have friends with Chihuahuas and they are double her size. Everyone says how little she is.

"She loves to be carried around but is a little lazy."

The micro mutt has to be walked on a kitten harness instead of a regular dog harness but what she lacks in size she makes up for in attitude.

Grace said: "She bosses our other dogs around, even though they are bigger than her."
