What is the world's largest breed of dog?

Great Dane

Newfoundland

English Mastiff

Irish Wolfhound

Answer:

According to the American Kennel Club, the largest breed of dog is the English Mastiff (also known as the Old English Mastiff). Mastiffs are the heaviest dog, but not the tallest. The tallest is the Irish Wolfhound. The tallest Wolfhound was a recorded 5 foot high at its shoulders. According to the Guniess Book of World Records, the worlds heaviest as well as longest dog ever recorded was an English Mastiff named Zorba. In 1989, Zorba weighed 343 lbs and was 8 feet 3 inches long from nose to tail! That same dog also holds the Guniess record for the World's Largest Dog.

 

 


Our goal is to help as many homeless pets as possible. We want to place them in responsible homes. Not just any home, but the right home for them, where they will be loved and well cared for. These sweet pets are loved and protected by foster parents in their homes with families until they are adopted. The foster family's get to know the pet and help train them and let prospective adoptive parents know about the pet's personality, behavior and health. We work hard to find the best homes for our pets because they deserve nothing less. Come meet our dogs at these events:
