Worlds Largest Dog
This is just unreal. I have 2 Mastiffs that are 200lbs but this is
ridiculous.
Hercules: The World's Biggest Dog Ever According to Guinness World Records
Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of Worlds Biggest
Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff and who has a
38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds.
With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the
three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed's standard
200 lb. limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules weight is
natural
and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him normal food and he just
"grew"... and grew. and grew. and grew.
(I'm curious that if Hercules took off running - would his owner truly be
able to hold onto him by the leash?)

ok this has to be fake but what a cool picture. I will try to find out more on this. I know for sure the largest mastiff ever was named Zorba and was 8'3" from head to tail and weighed in at 343lbs.

I would hate to attacked by that dog. lol
I had a buddy in Hawaii who bred Neapolitan Mastiff's. I couldn't beleive how fast they grew, and big. The father was nearly 6'5 on his hind legs. This dog would eat combat boots, bras, baseball, ect. It was nuts.
They are a pretty dog though, he had a lot of Blue Hairs I beleive that is what they call the color.

That picture has to be fake if that dog was real it would be closer to 500lb. Zorba is the record holder. Seen a picture of him somewere on the net and he is nowhere close to the size of the dog in that pic
