I love your show. I had a male mute that was 200 pounds when when he was older he was around 160 in his prime I love large dogs and I enjoyed watching your show. Thank you.
@@aaronlimebeer1829 way too low taking into consideration that the breeder I bought mine from has champions pedigree specimens and my pup is registered in the AKC as his parents too. He is now a year and half old and weights 175 lbs. he is not overweight by any means, we walk him twice a day every day for a total of 5miles, so just pure muscle and thick bones. I believe a full breed male weighting 120 has to be way underweight.
I totally agree. I know some males only get to 125 or so but ive seen em pushing 200.....Although alot go 140, 150 and are in great shape! I'm disappointed GP,s were not on the list
Love the entertaining/ informative videos. Would love to see a video on the Airedale Terrier, and if possible some info on the Oorang (mountain) Airedale Terrier.
I’ve a alpine mastiff X Spanish Mastiff male he’s 75 kilos but gentle giant and my soul mate, he’s adored by everyone he meets even those who are a little nervous he’s pure love. 🎄🙏💕🤩
I worked with mastiffs and rescued and rehabilitated them many years ago. I remember a neo great dane x English mastiff he was huge when he came in to our kennels he stood about 36 at the shoulder. And weighed in a massive 19 Stone. Our saving grace was he was a gentle giant. But we also had a English mastiff called Murphy. Who was actually bigger. Sadly he had to be put to sleep due to his aggressive behaviour. I also use to make collars and leads for mastiffs and some of those were huge for huge dogs . You are right Pilling on the pounds does not do the breeds any favours
We have an Irish Wolfhound. She's small for the breed, yet still over 5'8" on her hind legs and doing well at 10 years! Our 9-month-old puppy is a Bernese Mountain dog/Anatolian shepherd who already stands probably 5'4" or 5'5" on his hind legs.
I have a 4 month St Shepard I have never had a puppy this heavy she must be 25kg already shes 4 months . I raised 2 Malamutes male and female they were both huge but the male was massive. I think think this pup is gonna be bigger then both of them. She is so well behaved and learns very quick.
My 9 month old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is already 122 pounds and 28” tall at the shoulder! 😅 he’s well on his way to becoming a certified House Horse 😊 he’s the best family farm dog ever!!! Especially with our kids and literally any other kids he’s ever met. He looks and sounds very imposing and intimidating, but for women and children especially he is a big marshmallow 🤎
@@littlewigglemonster7691 I couldn’t agree more! He is the ultimate family and farm dog. I don’t doubt for a moment that he would kill for me or die for me - or for my babies! But at the same time he is super happy-go-lucky and every day is his best day ever 🥰 he is wildly perceptive of people though…I trust his judgment on strangers and environments 100%; which is why his name is Judge! He warded off his 8th coyote from our property today as well and truly looks rather scary when he’s in business mode!
Wow, when I was a teenager my family had a Newfoundland and I thought he was large. The Mastiff is definitely a wonderful breed. I had a client in Seattle who had a Mastiff sanctuary. She had one part of her house that was just for the Mastiffs (They tore it up!). She moved from that home and bought another that was more Mastiff friendly. Since then, she looked at a home that was a combination of a horse stable on the ground floor and a 1500 square foot house on the second floor. She was talking about buying that and converting it for a new Mastiff shelter. I don't know if she ever did that though.
Mastador is the most athletic I have seen, lab and bull mastiff mix, great nature but strong as hell, took me a half hour just to bring him to my pace, love to run with Sammy boy though. Good for the uphill 😂
Hello Anneka ,would you please consider doing a video on the Dogue des Bordeaux aka the French Mastiff one of the largest and strongest dogs in the world.
I feel so bad for them, they have way more hanging skin then the original molossuss and that makes them just ugly dogs and can cause skin problems, ...and the heavy weight is definitely not good for them and neither are the way too droopy lower eyelids that will cause all kinds of eye discomfort and problems... I wish people would not create life that will be in pain and discomfort just so the dog can look a certain way...
Those alaskan Malamutes are really smart dogs. They do like to wonder and explore so having allot of land is best. Sure it might bring back a deer leg. Totally normal. 🤪😁👍
The largest dog iv ever seen was up in the mountain region of Georgia used for watching over the sheep had collers with great big spike in so wolfs could not bite their throats
@@Animal-WatchAdvice you to visit few places of mountain region of Turkey.....you will come to know what's called the King of Canine Family & why ? No Cross-breed.....they're Antolian Lions. Always No. 1 in any dog list
@@Animal-Watch its a large portugeuse flock gaurdian which is used in the alentejo region of portugal. its name means: ''mutt of alentajo'' but its a full breed and very big. its also used in boar hunting.
@@Animal-Watch sadly theyre not very popular outside of portugal. portugal has 3 main flock gaurdians. the estrela mountain dog, the transmontano mastiff and the alentejo mastiff. which are all 3 not very popular outside of portugal
What about Saint Bernards and Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs? I had both (and miss them both so much!) and they were humongous! We rescued the St. Bernard from the animal shelter. He was a pup and was surrendered for becoming "too big". Duh!!! The GS was even taller than the St. Bernard, which is somewhat atypical. He was so handsome! I miss my two boys. Now we have a Newfoundland, a Caucasian Ovcharka, a German Sheperd, and a goofy Goldendoodle. Life is good!
I love my two big dogs... though they didn't make your list... One is a Borzoi... about 33 inches at the withers, and 124 pounds...all the way from China. The other is a Shepherd-Mastin cross, from Spain. Both are rescues...
@Animal-Watch Hi. Love your channel.. I have a Pyrenean Mastiif (not pyrenean moutindog) And would love if you could have a show about them. my 6 month is a big one 46 kilo (101lb) and 68 cm 29inch. Expect to be 80-90kilo when fully grown and 82cm it is a spanish breed and have the same work as the french pyrenean mountin dog. but have a longer life expectense. 10-120years. Thanks from Sweden
My Great Dane’s mother is 12 years old. If they are fed healthy raw or light cooking homemade food with nutrients, vegetables and fish with proper exercise they may live longer lives than 8 years old.
You Should Review The Moscow Watch Dog There’s Also A Other Fairly New Breed In The Making For 30 Years Called The Northern Caucasian Volkodav Both Originally Bred In Russia
I love being reassured without citation that the person reading the script on the channel is super duper qualified within the first 10 seconds of the video that didn't take me click off then & there after leaving this comment
So no Anatolian Shepards or Kangals ? I have an Anatolian Pyrenees male cross and at seven months old standing 30” tall and at 90lbs. Seamus going to be big and healthy god willing ❤️ he’s already had a bout with HOD so prayers happy taken !
I am extremely biased, but I love, love Great Danes, but again you have to train them when young, they are quite literally big babies, and are always the center of attention, I have had a few Great Danes and I still have one. If you’re looking for a great family dog with great size, you’ve gotta go with the king, the Great Dane
No mention of the St Bernard? My sister in law had one and he would rest his head on the dining table. The vet told them that Monty was very average, not big for the breed! I couldn't tell you how much he weighed, I should think it was a lot! 😂
So got to correct you. The old Irish Wolfhound was more a land race. There was one of the variant in Ireland that was a lot bigger than the current Irish Wolfhound. There was also short coat versions. The short coat version was crossed with Irish Mastiff and a very different sort of English mastiff or Roman mastiff and Greyhound to create the Great Dane. They were common enough in Ireland and Manor houses along with a particular type of Irish Lord. England ruled Ireland and gave dogs to German nobility a fair few times so the Germans just called them English dogs until they tried selling pups into places like France etc and swapped the name to Great Dane. Also the Scottish Deerhound is just a strain of Irish Wolfhound. Ireland had a kingdom in South West Scotland it then expanded and absorbed the picts and became the kingdom of Alba. The dogs are from our kingdom in Scotland. To this day the majority of dna in west/southwest Scotland is Irish. We are literally Scotland connection to anything celtic. The Deerhound was crossed with Greyhound and that is why is looks the way it does. Greyhounds literally come from our celtic hounds.
This is the BEST Dog History Lesson I've ever had! I had no idea where the Irish Wolfhound's and the Great Dane's lineage came from! I assumed that because of their sizes they had some sort of Mastiff genes. Thank you so much for this information!
My bro had an Irish Wolfhound. A very big dog. I saw that dog clear the dinner table with his tail. Unfortunately, my bro had to give the dog up. The incident involved one of his kids decided to take the dog for a walk. On the walk they encountered some children playing with a small dog. The wolfhound promptly charged at the smaller dog and grasped it in his jaws, then shook it to death. If that wasn’t enough he began to eat the dead dog. When I first heard of the incident, I thought the wolfhound would be euthanized as a result. But no, there was a law suit. My brother was ordered to pay a sizable monitory amount and was ordered to send the dog to a breeder who specialized in large dogs. That surprised us all.
and you're still forgetting about the portugese estrela mountain dog. i still want to see at least one video about them, since you've done so many on so many other live stock guardian dogs. i know there are estrelas in the uk and in ireland, so i can't help but wonder.. why not? 🙂
Because it’s just me that does everything on this channel and I’m not super woman. I haven’t prioritised this breed as I’m not that interested in it, but perhaps in the future..
@@Animal-Watch well.. the good thing is - noone needs to be a superwoman 🙂 as for prioritizing - you do what works for you. 👍 it's just quite difficult to find good information on the estrela mountain dog. they are quite rare, and one of the reasons i watch your videos is because you are very careful to talk about the downsides to every breed, as well as the upsides. i really appreciate those who are open and clear about the fact that some breeds should not be had by everyone. and out of pure curiousity - what is it about the estrela that is NOT interesting to you?
I wonder why the Akita isn't there? Some of them get so heavy they can't 'hug' their owners. I've seen some that stand taller than their owners. I tried to adopt one once but he kept eating and tearing down the wooden fence to find company which was causing him serious injury. We found a better home for him where he had other akitas to run around with.
I heard an Alaskan Malamute will help the burglars carry the TV out of the house.
So true
😂😂😂
They’ll even respond to email to tell you when the owner is on vacation
Also the Labrador
Annika..when are we getting married ?@@Animal-Watch
Love not only seeing all of the breeds but also love learning about them!

Good idea!!
Especially if also large. Like the Giant Schnauzer.

They're huge but beautiful they mind really well just amazing just amazing
I love your show. I had a male mute that was 200 pounds when when he was older he was around 160 in his prime I love large dogs and I enjoyed watching your show. Thank you.
A full breed Saint Bernard weighs between 165 to 220 pounds, mine is only 1 year old and weighs 170 pounds, definitely should have made the list.
Breed standard for a male St Bernard is 120-140lbs according to AKC.
They are large.
@@aaronlimebeer1829 way too low taking into consideration that the breeder I bought mine from has champions pedigree specimens and my pup is registered in the AKC as his parents too.

Yes, "Biggest" would be better defined by mass, not height and the Saint Bernard is a lot larger than many on this list.
@@VGAPIthey might be 5
I love your youtube and love dogs. You have been enlightening and dimissed many myths. I find it to be a privilege to have these animals.
Thankyou xx
Surprised the Great Pyrenees didn't make the list...not at the top, but certainly heavier than the 120 lb breeds at the 9 and 10 spots.
They even have a Mastiff Pyrenees, which is huge.
I totally agree. I know some males only get to 125 or so but ive seen em pushing 200.....Although alot go 140, 150 and are in great shape! I'm disappointed GP,s were not on the list
The AVERAGE size for a great Pyrenees is 100 for males and 85 for females. There is a male somewhere on TH-cam that tops 170 but he's not average.
@underpar3250 not true. Every male Pyrenees I've ever seen has been over 100
I would also consider the Bully Kutta, Spanish Mastiff, Pyrenean Mastiff, Bucovins Shepherd and St. Bernard as part of this category.
Love the entertaining/ informative videos. Would love to see a video on the Airedale Terrier, and if possible some info on the Oorang (mountain) Airedale Terrier.

Enjoyed the video but some of the weight conversions were well off.
Well blame Google conversion then..
My English Mastiff was weighed 200 pounds. On her hind quarters she was over 6'2". She was the best ever.
In regards to the Molossuss did the owner take into account how the weight may impact the breed’s joints?
I feel so bad for them, they have way more hanging skin then the original molossuss and that makes them just ugly dogs and can cause skin problems, ...and the heavy weight is definitely not good for them and neither are the way too droopy lower eyelids that will cause all kinds of eye discomfort and problems...

So got to correct you. The old Irish Wolfhound was more a land race. There was one of the variant in Ireland that was a lot bigger than the current Irish Wolfhound. There was also short coat versions. The short coat version was crossed with Irish Mastiff and a very different sort of English mastiff or Roman mastiff and Greyhound to create the Great Dane. They were common enough in Ireland and Manor houses along with a particular type of Irish Lord. England ruled Ireland and gave dogs to German nobility a fair few times so the Germans just called them English dogs until they tried selling pups into places like France etc and swapped the name to Great Dane. Also the Scottish Deerhound is just a strain of Irish Wolfhound. Ireland had a kingdom in South West Scotland it then expanded and absorbed the picts and became the kingdom of Alba. The dogs are from our kingdom in Scotland. To this day the majority of dna in west/southwest Scotland is Irish. We are literally Scotland connection to anything celtic. The Deerhound was crossed with Greyhound and that is why is looks the way it does. Greyhounds literally come from our celtic hounds.
This is the BEST Dog History Lesson I've ever had! I had no idea where the Irish Wolfhound's and the Great Dane's lineage came from! I assumed that because of their sizes they had some sort of Mastiff genes.
