Still Waters Posted December 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Standing at nearly 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and weighing a staggering 245lbs could this be the world's new tallest dog?Pictured here in the parks of Tuscon, Arizona, George, a four-year-old blue great dane, looks more like a miniature horse than a dog. The gentle giant, who measures 7ft 3ins from nose to tail, could be a prime contender to take the title from the former record holder, Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane who passed away from cancer last August. Now George's owners, David and Christine Nasser, are awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records to see if he has achieved the lofty heights. Read more... Here's a video of George. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/7294400/Meet-Giant-George-the-worlds-tallest-dog.html Edited February 23, 2010 by Still Waters Video link added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brlesq1 Posted December 23, 2009 #7 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Oh, man...I miss my Dane so much. She wasn't nearly as big as this guy--from the top of her head to her feet she was four feet tall. They're wonderful, the world's biggest lapdogs (as you can see from the picture). And don't worry--they won't eat you. They'll eat the guy breaking into your house.

MissMelsWell Posted December 23, 2009 #11 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I wub Great Danes and would have one if they didn't leave such enormous steaming piles in the backyard. I have a friend that's always kept two great danes, none as huge as this dude obviously. She's had some with weak builds who died very young, and others with good builds that lived into their double-digits. I have to say... George is well muscled and beautifully proportioned, he looks more healthy than a lot of normal sized Danes I've known! He's lovely! Danes are such big sweet lugs.

Bunny Munro Posted December 23, 2009 #13 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I think the photos have been edited to make the perspective look like the size difference between the owner and dog is greater, the first one looks very artificial to me. I also noticed the owner seems to have a pee stain on the inside of his left pant leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesspy Posted December 31, 2009 #18 Share Posted December 31, 2009 That dog cold clean my face with 1 straight lick of his tongue. He could do the whole body in one lick I think the photos have been edited to make the perspective look like the size difference between the owner and dog is greater, the first one looks very artificial to me. I also noticed the owner seems to have a pee stain on the inside of his left pant leg. lol yeah i thought the first one was a bit over done too. And I just noticed the stain now you mentioned it lol. I guess it wasnt the dog that peed on him cause the guy would have drowned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
