KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A U.S. promoter hopes to break a world record by parading at least 700 costumed dogs, mostly Chihuahuas, down a city street on the Cinco de Mayo holiday.
Mark Valentine says the Kansas City parade will introduce Chihuahuas to their cultural heritage while helping a no-kill shelter.
In the U.S., Cinco de Mayo on May 5 celebrates Mexican heritage. The Chihuahua breed’s name comes from the name of the Mexican state
Valentine says the Guinness world record for most costumed dogs doesn’t specify a breed. He expects there will be more than enough entries to break it.
