Big dogs


Many people ask this: What is the biggest dog? or What is the tallest dog? These deserve different answers as tall and big are entirely different. Some of these dogs are actually surprises as certain breeds traditionally have the largest or tallest dog naturally.
For instance, the tallest dog today is Gibson , a Harlequin Great Dane, is 42.2 inches tall and almost 7 feet tall when he stands up, however Great Danes aren't typically the tallest dogs; the Irish Wolfhound usually takes home the prize of being the worlds tallest dog at 3 feet tall on average; that's just at the shoulder. Although they may be tall, Irish Wolfhounds are by no means big as they usually only range between 105-125 lbs, which is on the lighter side of the large breed dogs.
