Guinness World Records Strips Bobi of Oldest Dog Title

Bobi, previously deemed the world's oldest dog, had his title suspended by Guinness World Records due to lack of conclusive evidence supporting his age claim. Guinness requires evidence such as microchip data, vet and witness statements, and documentation for all years of a pet's life. Bobi, a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, died in October 2023 at reportedly 31 years old. Guinness has not yet confirmed a new record holder and hopes the publicity encourages pet owners to come forward.

Guinness World Records Revokes Title of World's Oldest Dog After Investigation

Guinness World Records has revoked the title of "oldest dog ever" from a deceased Portuguese canine named Bobi after an inquiry found insufficient evidence to support the claim. The dog, reportedly 31 years old, had been living on a farm in Portugal and was proclaimed as the world's oldest living dog and oldest dog ever in February 2023. GWR opened an investigation following concerns raised by veterinarians and other experts, and found a lack of conclusive evidence from Bobi's microchip data. The group emphasized the need for documentary evidence for all years of a pet's life and stated that it was too early to identify a new record holder.
