They come in all sizes, shapes and colors, and they’re human’s best friends. Over centuries, various dog breeds across the globe have been trained by humans to play important roles, from hunter to guardian, from herder to companion.For some of these breeds, size has been of significant importance, whether that was to hunt bigger game or guard a home with more authority, or even just to have the mass to survive in freezing climates. But of all the dog breeds in the world, who are the biggest?
The Great Pyrenees
Weight: 59 kg
Height: 81 cm
With a weather resistant double coat and a mane around the neck and shoulder, the Pyrenees is an ideal protector in cold weather.
They have an extremely intimidating bark. Earlier, they used to be nocturnal because of their protection duties and some even end up barking uncontrollably, at night, to this day. They are not great with accepting commands, especially if they weren’t disciplined during their early years. However, they prove to be a good family dog if trained properly.
Komondor
Weight: 60 kg
Height: 80 cm
The Komondor is a shaggy dog which originated from Hungary. This breed is being preserved and protected as Hungary’s national treasure. It is considered a family dog but not a great fit for apartments.
This dog is so protective that it keeps staring at family members for hours. If you don’t train your Komondor to judge situations properly, get ready to open your doors to multiple lawsuits.
The Tibetan Mastiff
Weight: 70 kg
Height: 75-79 cm
You must have seen images of this dog as it recently went viral for its gigantic size and impressive appeal. If you had a doubt, let us assure that these photos aren’t photoshopped. These dogs can actually grow this huge in size.
Centuries ago, this dog originated in Tibet and China. They were always used to guard livestock and families against wild animals. Even though it is a loyal dog, their independence and stubbornness might make them neglect your commands when it senses danger. This is why it is not considered a family dog.
Fila Brasileiro
Weight: 64–82 kg
Height: 65–75 cm
This is another Mastiff in the list. The Fila Brasileiro or Brazilian Mastiff is considered to be an ideal guard dog. It has remarkable agility, aggressiveness, and an unforgiving temperament. In fact, their unpopular aggression got them banned in many countries. Like most other Mastiffs, the Brasileiro’s first instinct isn’t to attack its quarry, instead, to hold them away from the animal/person being attacked.
The word “Filar” in Portuguese translates to “hold, arrest or grab”. Many years ago, these dogs were used to guard slaves and bring fugitives back to their slave masters.
Caucasian Shepherd
Weight: 100 kg
Height: 75 cm
Mountain Shepherds have grown apart in physical appearance from their land counterparts. Mountain shepherds have a much stronger built. They are believed to be originated frothe m Caucasus Mountain region. They are one of the most ancient, purebred dogs. The biggest hint of their ancient ancestry are their teeth. Not many breeds alive can match the length of their teeth. Today, they are used in prisons to chase escapees.
While some frame them as the most aggressive dogs, experienced trainers consider them a rewarding pet and even a good family companion.
