I have taken my time to look at this picture and doubt how this dog is rated to be about 7ft tall.
The lady standing by the dog stands taller than the dog and she cannot be more than 5,8inches tall.
Now, how come the dog is 7ft? I wonder how the so called Guinness book get their measured this.

For those that doesn't know about this breed of Dog here is a quick info:

The Great Dane, also known as German Mastiff or Danish Hound, is a breed of domestic dog known for its giant size.


Hypoallergenic: No
Life span: 6 to 12 years
Temperament: Gentle, Friendly, Devoted, Reserved, Confident, Loving
Colors: Fawn, Brindle, Black, Blue, Mantle, Harlequin


As described by the American Kennel Club, "The Great Dane combines, in its regal appearance, dignity, strength and elegance with great size and a powerful, well-formed, smoothly muscled body. It is one of the giant working breeds, but is unique in that its general conformation must be so well balanced that it never appears clumsy, and shall move with a long reach and powerful drive." The Great Dane is a short haired breed with a strong galloping figure. In the ratio between length and height, the Great Dane should be square. The male dog should not be less than 30 in (76 cm) at the shoulders, a female 28 in (71 cm). Danes under minimum height are disqualified.

From year to year, the tallest living dog is typically a Great Dane. Previous record holders include Gibson, Titan and George however the current record holder is a black Great Dane named Zeus who stands 112 cm (44 in) at the shoulder. He is also the tallest dog on record (according Guinness World Records), beating the previous holder who was a blue Great Dane named George, who stood 110 cm (43 in) at the shoulder.

The minimum weight for a Great Dane over eighteen months is 120 lb (54 kg) for males, 100 lb (45 kg) for females. Unusually, the American Kennel Club dropped the minimum weight requirement from its standard. The male should appear more massive throughout than the female, with a larger frame and heavier bone.

Great Danes have naturally floppy, triangular ears. In the past, when Great Danes were commonly used to hunt boars, cropping of the ears was performed to make injuries to the dogs' ears less likely during hunts. Now that Danes are primarily companion animals, cropping is sometimes still done for traditional and cosmetic reasons. In the 1930s when Great Danes had their ears cropped, after the surgery two devices called Easter Bonnets were fitted to their ears to make them stand up. Today, the practice is common in the United States and much less common in Europe. In some European countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, parts of Australia, and in New Zealand, the practice is banned, or controlled to only be performed by veterinary surgeons.

Can't you guys read the handwriting on the wall. That dog is obviously a statue. It's not real. You'll agree with me with the position of it's legs. A dog cannot grow that tall.

Got you right but since the animal stands and walks with it's legs and hands, it should be measured with the legs and the hands on the floor/ground.

I tot Irish wolf hound was the biggest and tallest dogs.
Great Danes make good guard dogs.
This particular breed reminds me of USAIN BOLTS. I won't be surprise if it was injected with HGH.
