Guest Anonymous Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Largest weight wise would proubly be the Mastiff or also called the Old English Mastiff Now height wise it would be the Irish Wolfhound Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 i thought the weightwise was the saint bernard?? ya the irish wolfhound is HUGE bigger than the great dane! :lol: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Have you ever seen a good sized Mastiff? They are huge and fat. But then with Irish Wolfhounds they are tall and lean so they would not even weigh as much... nope I would say the Mastiff overweighs the Saint any day. A Bulldog can weigh more than a GSD.... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Same here newfiemom! They can be soo dang big! Just there heads are like 20 pounds! Geeez! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 To date the heaviest dog in the world is an Old English Mastiff which weighs a scale busting 315lbs. Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 That depends on if you mean individuals or as a general rule.. Height wise: the irish wolfhound is a bigger breed but the largest individual was a great dane. weight wise: THe saint bernard is the heaviest on average but the heaviest individual was a English mastiff but the heaviest living dog is a Neopolitan Mastiff.

imported_Kat Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Yeah the Old english Mastiff is certainly the heavyweight of the doggy world. I was helping my friend in Fife run her parents kennels and cattery a few summers back and we had a big mastiff called Homer in. He was short haired apart from this wee silly tuft on his head that made him look so soft hehe. He was a monster though when he decided to play rough, and had me down on the ground one day and it took my friends brother and her to drag him off me, the big lig! Quote

I realised this was an old post when I saw it - I thought funny that, what is that post doing back here? Then when I saw beagle I realised exactly how old it was! :lol: Quote

Aroura Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Oh Hercules is my type of dog!!!! And he's not at all obese!!! He must have a few medical problems though... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 But oficially Irish Wolfhound is the largest breed on the world. My friend has one of them, he is 92 cm high and he has about 130 kg :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 tallest not largest. the largest dog is based on height and weight combined. the tallest dog ever was a great dane but because the mastiffs can be considerably shorter and still out weight them the mastiffs are larger. the tallest breed on average is the irish wolfhound, much like te heaviest breed on average is the Saint.
