big dog

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1252928/Measuring-7ft-Giant-George-enters-record-books-worlds-tallest-dog.html

This huge hound officially entered the record books today as the world's tallest dog - standing more than seven foot on its hind legs.

'Giant' George claimed the prestigious title after Guinness Records officials measured him up at 43 inches from paw to shoulder, or 7ft 3in when 'standing' on his back legs.

The four-year-old great dane weighs a staggering 17.5 stone and consumes 110lb of food each week.

Looks a lovely dog, pity Great Danes don't live long - average is 7 or 8.

If you know both its parents are good natured with people then that's fine, but they are a guarding type of dog, and I wouldn't personally have one near children.

Sandy by the time your lab puppies have reached 14 years old I don't think you'll be wanting a Dane  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Never too old for a Dane, or Swede, or Scott in fact ;) ;) ;)A big dog would pull me up that hill anyway, mind you, lot's heavier poo to clear up so maybe not!

I think you're obsessed by poo, Sandy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  If snow is do-able tomorrow and I get out might come in past to see how pups are, need to get sealegs for Bobby -if he's not sick he's drooling!
