According to the Guinness Book of Records, the biggest dog in the world is English Mastiff named Zorba. He is weighing 156 kg, 94 cm high at the shoulders and is 2.5 meters long, measured from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. Still, when people ask about the dog’s size the question has to be more precise because “how big a dog is” and “how tall a dog is” are two different things.
The tallest dog in the world was Gibson, a Harlequin Great Dane. He was 107 cm high at the shoulders and almost 215 cm tall when standing on his hind legs. His successor and currently the tallest dog in the world is George, also a Great Dane.
George is 109 cm tall at the shoulders and 220 cm long from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. Speaking of the biggest dog breed, all experts agree that English Mastiffs are the biggest. Although the Great Dane and Irish Wolfhound are taller, they don’t have the body mass of the Mastiffs.
