Can dogs have naturally long eyelashes?
Just like humans, dogs’ eyelashes protect their eyes.
When dogs play outside or explore the park, their lashes protect them from debris and other harmful object to enter their eyes and settle under their eyelids.
Unlike humans, dogs only have eyelashes on their upper eyelids.
It is O.K. to trim dog’s eyelashes, but if they are at the proper length and do not bother the dog, it is best to leave them alone so they can offer the proper amount of protection to the dog.
Dog lashes that are trimmed will grow back.
Certain breeds, like Long-haired pooches such as Cocker Spaniels, are more likely to have long lashes than others.
Other breeds that are known to have strikingly beautiful lashes are Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus and Poodles.
The current World Record holder for dogs with the longest eyelashes as of 2014 is an Australian Labradoodle that lives in Tokyo Japan and was named Ranmaru. Ranmaru’s eyelashes were measured at 17 centimeters long.
