∙ 6y agoOf the currently recognized "dwarf planets" in the solar system, the one that orbits farthest from the Sun is Eris (136199 Eris).
Although its closest approach to the Sun is inside the orbit of Pluto, its highly-elliptical orbit takes it nearly twice as far away as Pluto (97.5 AU), with an estimated orbital period of 557 Earth years.
The furthest dwarf planet is Eris at a distance of about 67.67 AU
The furthest planet is Neptune with a distance of about 30 AU

∙ 6y agoNo. There are other Kuiper belt objects, as large as or larger than Pluto in the Kuiper belt that are further out than Pluto (for example: Eris).
Even in the past when Pluto was considered to be the 9th planet, it was not the furthest from the Sun all the time as its orbit brought it within the orbit of Neptune for a part of its orbital path.

∙ 6y agoNo, the following dwarf planets are farther from the Sun than Pluto:
- Haumea
- Makemake
- Eris
Note: There are also hundreds of possible dwarf planets farther than Eris, but they have not yet been confirmed as of 2017.

Eris is the farthest dwarf planet from the sun its also the brightest
