Jiff, a Pomeranian dog, was already cute and lovable, but now he's proven he's speedy too.

The 4-year-old has blazed into the 60th edition of the Guinness World Records for his unusual talent of running on just two paws - hind legs and forelegs.

He can run 10 metres on his hind legs in 6.56 seconds and 5 metres on his front paws in 7.76 seconds. Both times are faster than any other dog on the planet has clocked. Watch the video above to see him go!

Jiff is used to the spotlight - he's a regular on television and a model. His owners have chosen to remain anonymous so they don't detract from his popularity.

They claim that besides running, Jiff also shakes, closes doors, covers his eyes, stamps his autograph, bows and skateboards.
