Parson Russell Terrier Smurf is arguably one of the most talented pooches that has ever earned a place in the Guinness World Records archives, having set a brand new record for the Most tricks performed by a dog in one minute.
 
At the age of six, the lovable canine executed a record-breaking 32 tricks on command.
 
 
His extensive repertoire includes reversing through legs, twisting in a circle, rolling over, speaking (barking), crawling backwards, walking on hind legs and even making a cup of tea.
 
Smurf lives with his proud owner and trainer Sarah Humphreys in Hertfordshire, UK.

Guinness World Records recently visited Smurf and Sarah at their home to have a chat about their incredible achievements and take photos for the brand new Guinness World Records 2017 book.
 
Sarah told Guinness World Records: “What makes Smurf so amazingly talented and unique is his diversity and his ability to learn new tricks in a short time frame.”
 
Smurf has already appeared on a number of television shows including Channel 4's Superstar Dogs and he frequently appears at the London Pet Show.
