Each Tuesday we will share a photo we received claiming to be the World's Largest Dog. A lot of you might have seen these photos. We couldn't verify the source so we leave it up to you to believe it or not. Photoshop can make look anything big. Let us know what you think. Have you seen any of these dogs in person? Do you have a photo that you want to share with us?

4) The Largest Irish Wolfhound:
This week's featured largest dog is an Irish Wolfhound again - just like last week. Again, I have a feeling that this photo is real and the photographer picked a very good angle, which makes the dogs look larger. The dogs are in front of the camera while the little old lady sits on the couch in the background as a comparison.

Look at this little fellow! His bravado fails to impress the badass cat who looks right into his innocent soul, and know that he won't hurt a fly!



The beautiful daughter of Donald Trump owns a Yorkshire Terrier. They have a very playful nature, and are the second most popular breed in the US after the Labrador Retriever. They are not noted for 'Alpha' male behavior and relate very well with other dogs. This is an advantage if you are looking for a second or third dog for your home.

Dog owners know that they love to dig. If you don't have a carefully tended garden, you may enjoy watching her do this, but for some people, digging can really ruin their lawns.

To control this, try cordoning off an area for your dog where you can leave her when you go out. Fill this area with fresh dirt, so she can dig all she wants without spoiling the rest of the lawn. You can put cement blocks around the area to ensure that she doesn't get out.

Over time, she will come to understand that that area is hers and she can dig to her heart's content.

As an estimate of how much people love their dogs, over 1 million of them are slated to inherit all their master's wealth when their owners pass on!

After all, they're family right?

4) The Largest Irish Wolfhound:
This week our featured Largest Dog in the world is an Irish Wolfhound. Guess what?! I am sure this photo is not fake and shows the actual size of the dog. Although, I must admit that the photographer did a very good job to make it look bigger than it is. There is one thing we cannot be sure though! Is it really the largest dog in the world??? Hard to tell... probably not but it does look huge!

Largest Dog in the World


Many people falsely believe that the largest breed in the world is the Great Dane (height: 30-34 inches or 76-86 cm). While, Great Danes are called the King of All Dog Breeds they are not as tall as the Irish Wolfhounds (height: 28-35 inches or 71-90 cm). The two breeds are very similar in size but in average, Irish Wolfhounds are larger.
