    Have you seen Giant George? George is considered the world's tallest dog. He is in the Guinness Book of World Records.

    You can see him in this short video:


    George Facts:
    George is a Great Dane.
    George is 43 inches tall.
    He weighs 245 pounds.
    He consumes 110 pounds of food every day.

    This is George's website: http://www.giantgeorge.com/

    I thought my Lab was big at 75-80 lbs! You'd have to be a strong person to control a dog this size. At least, the puppy stage would be very challenging. He was probably 80 lbs at 4 months old. LOL

    Do you think you would like a dog this big? It certainly would be expensive.

    Unfortunately I would pass up George at the dog shelter if one was there.
    I'll stick with medium size dogs. A friend of mine who farms animals said to me never choose animals you can't lift or put in the back seat of a car. He has goats.

    I would like to get one as big as Giant George. That's assuming that I have the space. I can just imagine going for a run in the park with a dog that size.

    Oh my...He really is big. I'd be so scared of him! I'm usually scared of big dogs. I'm pretty sure that my Homer is smaller than his head:p

    George is a very pretty dog and very tall dog, in really good shape. Reminds me of my grandfather's Great Dane, except he was light brown with a black face and was afraid to come up stairs.

    I like a big dog like George especially that he seems to be a very friendly dog. But I do not think that I can manage to take care a huge dog like that. :p
