The tallest dog in the world right now is a Great Dane (he is an anomolie, tho)… ‘in general’, however…the breed that is considered the largest dog in the world is the Irish Wolfhound.

Answer #3

Yesss! Definentlyyy, by far Greatiiies. (great Danes) Size wise, newfoundlands beat MOST dogs. But big Doesnt always mean bad, but then again it could. xD. Anywayyy, yah.

Answer #4

“Bigger” and “taller” are two different things.

Height wise, certified by the Guiness Book of World Records, the tallest dog living is Gibson, a Harlequin Great Dane, who measured 107 cm (42.2 in) tall on August 31 2004. Irish Wolfhounds come in a close second in terms of height.

In terms of weight, the breed Old English Mastiffs take the cake.
