A playdate between the world鈥檚 tallest and smallest living dogs went the way of most dog park encounters despite the 3-foot (0.91-meter) height difference 鈥� lots of tail wagging, sniffing and scampering.

Reginald, a 7-year-old Great Dane from Idaho, and Pearl, a chihuahua from Florida, are both certified winners in their respective height titles by Guinness World Records. The fact that Reginald is the size of a small horse and Pearl is as small as an apple didn鈥檛 stop them from getting along famously.

Pearl, a 4-year-old who stands at 3.59 inches (9.14 centimeters), comes from a long line of short dogs. Her aunt Millie, a previous record-holder in the same category, until she died in 2020, also was under 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) tall.

Both Millie and Pearl weighed 1 ounce (28.35 grams) at birth.

鈥淚 was not expecting to once again have the record,鈥� said Vanesa Semler of Orlando, Florida, owner of both tiny dogs. 鈥淭hat would be like unbelievable.鈥�

Guinness arranged the two-day meet up between Pearl and Reginald 鈥� who also goes by Reggie and measures in at a whopping 3-foot-3 (1 meter) 鈥� last month at his home in Idaho Falls.

Even though Pearl loves dogs, even big dogs, Semler said she was anxious because of Reginald鈥檚 size.

鈥淔or me, (it) was a huge, pleasant surprise from day one because Reggie is like Pearl, in bigger size,鈥� she said. 鈥淗e is so gentle, so friendly.鈥�

Reggie, for his part, might have been more interested in the Guinness film crew that accompanied Pearl than the tiny dog herself.

鈥淚 would say he likes people a little bit more than he likes other dogs,鈥� said Sam Johnson Reiss, his owner.

Pearl鈥檚 tiny size was also strange for the big boy.

鈥淗e was like very cautious, like a little anxious,鈥� Reiss said. 鈥淗e was very careful, like he didn鈥檛 step on her or anything or anything crazy. He was just very aware that she was there.鈥�

Reggie鈥檚 super size was evident early on, especially on a dog park visit when he towered over other Great Danes despite being only 9 months old.

鈥淭hey would be shorter than him, and they were like full-grown,” Reiss said.

There might have been a little jealousy shown over toys and beds, but Reggie and Pearl found common ground during their two days roaming the Idaho farm together.

鈥淚 think she found a good friend,鈥� Semler said.

Semler said Pearl is her prima donna, with the chihuahua even picking out the clothes she wants to wear every day by placing her paw on the outfits laid out before her. That comes in handy when news crews are lining up for interviews.

鈥淔or us, she was always our diva,鈥� Semler said. 鈥淣ow she鈥檚 a diva for everyone.鈥�

Pearl doesn鈥檛 have the top diva title quite yet, with Reiss saying Reggie 鈥� who has a new Instagram account 鈥� has his own diva moments.

鈥淗e鈥檚 pretty high maintenance,鈥� Reiss said. 鈥淩eggie鈥檚 just cheeky, like he鈥檚 kind of mischievous and silly and definitely tells you when he wants something.鈥�
