Great danes are recognised as the world’s largest dog species with a male usually growing in excess of 30 inches (76.2 cm) tall from paw to shoulder. A great dane named Zeus was recognised as the world’s tallest dog measuring in at an impressive 44 inches (1.12 meters) tall. When Zeus stood on his hind legs he would dwarf his owners standing an unbelievable 7 feet 3 inches (2.21 meters)! |
