The adorable pup, who is owned by experienced dog trainer Doree Sitterly, beat the record of 41.67 seconds which was achieved by Cally the Wonderdog and Mitch Jenkins (both UK) on the set of Britain's Got Talent Live Semi Final back in May 2015.
 
Doree and Twinkie
 
Twinkie seems to have inherited her passion for popping from her mother Anastacia, who is also owned by Doree. Anastacia set and broke the record twice between 2005 and 2008 and then held on to it for seven years. She earned fame after demonstrating her talent on the Live with Regis and Kelly show.
 
Twinkie's mother Anastacia appeared in the Guinness World Records 2011 book.
