New Tallest Dog in the World!
It’s always an exciting day at the dog health blog when we get news of a canine achievement or record breaker. Today, however, we’re especially excited to report that there is a brand new Guinness World Record holder for the “Tallest Dog in the World”!
Giant George from Tucson, Arizona, measures a mind-blowing 7ft 3in from nose to tail and 43 inches from paw to shoulder! That gives him legs that as long as mine, then half as long again – this dog is gargantuan! He’s not all skin and bones either; at 245 lbs, he just about outweighs me as well!
Despite his size, Giant George actually only beat the previous record-holder, Titan, by a mere 0.75 inches. Titan was also a Great Dane, which comes as little surprise to everybody who knows their dogs, as was Gibson – the record holder before Titan, who was a tiny 0.25 inches shorter than his rival. With an inch seperating the top three, there can be little doubt the competition for Tallest Dog in the World is fierce and Guinness World Records actually had to send their own official adjudicator to confirm the winner.
Guinness World Records is currently searching for pet records, so get in touch if you think your dog might have something special!
