London, October 08 : An American woman has claimed that she owns the tallest dog in the world measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to tail.

Caryn Weber is proud of Boomer, a Landseer Newfoundland dog, and intends to send its measurements to Guinness World Records.

Caryn, who comes from eastern North Dakota, said that the fluffy black and white canine keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen sink in her family’s farmhouse, reports the Telegraph.

She said that her pet “comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around”.

The 180-pound animal apparently finishes a 20-pound bag of dry dog food in just two weeks.

The previous record holder was a Great Dane that measured almost 4 feet tall.
