Harvey is a 3-year old Bloodhound who has been tremendously popular this year at the Westminster Dog Show 2010.http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//100212/483/a8c85ba4d7ec4719b644019650944032/#photoViewer=/100212/483/a8c85ba4d7ec4719b644019650944032
Harvey is owned by Zac Helmer and Heather Buehner of Cordova, Maryland.http://skiptonfarms.com/contactuspage.html Harvey's ears have been measured at 14". This beats the current world record held by tigger whose ears were measured at 13.75" back in 2004.
Sadly Harvey did not win the Bloodhound category at the show, this was won by Maverick. Once Harvey's ears are measured by Guinness though, entering the Guinness Book of World Records should prove adequate compensation.
