    Pudsey may be Britain's most talented dog, but he certainly isn't the smallest. According to the (U.K.) Daily Mail, that title now belongs to Mini, a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix who weighs only 1.3 ounces.

    At birth, Mini was easily overshadowed by her brother and sisters, who were about three times larger. Worried about Mini's small size, her owner, Emma Williams, started a special feeding schedule. Along with meals from her mother, Mini receives extra bottle feedings every two hours.

    The extra servings have worked. Mini is growing and is now big enough to hang out with the rest of the litter. Mini is currently 1.9 ounces, which is still much lower than the normal 4.5 ounces for a dog her age, but large enough to give Williams hope that Mini will pull through.

    Smaller size means smaller appetite. While Mini's siblings are getting a full ounce of milk a day, Mini can handle only one tenth of an ounce. But even with the reduced diet, Mini can still strong-arm her brothers and sisters. Now that she's back in the mix with her litter, Mini has no problem snagging a meal from Mom.

    Mini's petite puppy frame is one trait that she didn't get from her parents. Unlike their remarkably small puppy, Mini's mom and dad both are large for their breed.

    Williams told the Daily Mail, "Mini was the second puppy to be born, so at first I thought she was a normal size and the other was big and chunky. But as the others came out it became apparent she was so dinky. I couldn’t believe it when I saw just how small she was."

    Williams began to understand just how unusually tiny Mini was when she visited her vet's office with the newborn. All the doctors at her office admitted to never seeing a puppy that small. Vets expect that Mini will reach only 1.5 pounds when she is fully grown.
