2 The World’s Tallest Dog & Biggest Dog .. video

Tallest Dog In The World - It's Official Feb 2010

A Great Dane from the US state of Arizona has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the tallest dog ever on record.Giant George, owned by David Nasser, stands 43in (1.09m) tall paw to shoulder, and weighs 245lb (111kg). Guinness officials say there were conflicting reports about Giant George's height, so they sent a judge to his home in Tucson to verify it.

Giant George - who has his own website - consumes 110lb of food each month.

Four-year-old Giant George made it into the record books by beating his nearest rival, Titan, a Great Dane from California, by three-quarters of an inch.

He was named by Guinness World Records as both the world's Tallest Living Dog and Tallest Dog Ever.

World's Biggest Dog 

The Tallest Dog In the World and the Smallest Dog In The World!

Though the AKC lists the Irish Wolfhound as the tallest of the breeds, that is a generalization. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the tallest dog alive is a Harlequin (black and white spotted) Great Dane named Gibson.

Gibson is a whopping 170 lbs of Dane that stands over 7 feet tall when he is on his back legs! At his shoulder he measures 42.6 inches! The average Irish Wolfhound stands about 34 inches at the shoulder – this should give you some prospective on just how massive Gibson truly is! His height has made him quite the celebrity; Gibson has been seen on Oprah, Larry King Live and Good Morning America (just to name a few!).
