U.S. Dog Sets World Jumping Record

Owner Thinks Nestle Can Beat Personal Best

UPDATED: 7:59 am MDT June 29, 2005

A dog named Nestle recently set a world record.

The 3-year-old chocolate Labrador weighs 80 pounds and can jump almost 7 feet high, Lancaster, Pa., television station WGAL reported.

Nestle, who lives outside Hanover, Pa., with owner Angie Jones, set a world record at a jumping competition in Virginia two weekends ago.

Nestle will take part in a nationally televised jump competition in Florida next month.

"It is pretty impressive to see a dog get up to that height, amazing because it is a lot of fun to watch because the dogs love to do it," Jones said.

Nestle's owner thinks the dog can jump higher than 7 feet.
