The Old English Mastiff is the LARGEST breed of dog in the world
. .They can weigh anywhere from 110 pounds to the 343 pounds.
Zorba,an English mastuff ,held the world record of the world's
largest dog. Most Mastiff males weigh around 160-230 pounds and
females around 120-190 pounds. The hight of a mastiff can range
from 26 inches at the shoulder to 36 inches . The Irish Wolf
Hound and Great Dane can be taller then the mastiff , but do not
match the mastiff for weight and over all size . The mastiff is
also one of the most powerful dog in the world . My friends
mastiff "Abraham " was the top weight pull dog in North America
in 2004 "PULLING 7300 POUNDS More on this subject can be found
