many don't reach the top of their impressive scale.

Dog Stools
The American Kennel Club standard states the male Mastiff should be a
minimum of 30 inches tall at the shoulder, and have a muscular, heavy-boned body
that is in proportion with its height. Many Mastiffs average up to 190 pounds, but
it's not unusual for these giants to weigh around 225 pounds at full maturity.
However, a dog comes along once in a while that amazes even the most seasoned
big dog enthusiasts. On that note, it's time to meet Zorba.

Mass is one thing, height is another. Up until 2009, Guinness' record holder for
height was Gibson , a Harlequin Great Dane that stood an unbelievable 42.2 inches
tall at the shoulder. This amazing beast was about 7 feet tall when he stood on his
hind legs!
GiantGeorge
As of 2011, a blue Great Dane named Giant George was the Guinness record holder
for tallest dog. According to GiantGeorge.com , George's height was measured at
43 inches. He also weighed in at a whopping 245 pounds.
HeavenSenttheChihuahua
Just for fun, compare Zorba and these other big dogs to one of Guinness' smallest
living dogs of record. Heaven Sent Brandy was a Chihuahua that measured just 6
inches in length from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail.
