The Old English Mastiff
by Sharon Medforth
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 mastiff ,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 height 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
