I was absolutely amazed at the huge number of people and none of them had small dogs.

If I lived in a high rise apartment and had to get up several times a day and take my dog down to the park to do his business, I would soon be trading him in for a cat!

We used to have a great dane named Bigfoot. He weighed 180 pounds and was just over 6 feet tall. Most gentle, sweetest dog ever!

Yes they are the tallest dogs.
Wonderful Great Danes though, I love the big guys, they usually have the sweetest temperaments.

I love big dogs. Don't know if I could handle a dog as large as Gibson or Bigston. I'm just shy of 5 feet 2 inches, myself. The dogs are probably almost as tall as I am, when they're on all 4's.

There's no place like home
That's a Harrlequin GD. A neighbor of mine had 2 of them and they were gigantic dogs!!

I had a very large greyhound whose head (while standing on all 4's) was at my waist. When he stood on his hind legs, he looked down at me by far (and I'm 5'5").

Big dogs are just wonderful!!
