A mastiff from England, Zorba, is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as heaviest dog in the world, at over 140 kg. Zorba was exceptional, but even so, mastiffs are a giant breed of dog.

The Irish Wolfhound is considered the world’s tallest breed of dog.
While the Irish Wolfhound and the Great Dane typically are a bit taller, the English Mastiff -- nicknamed the gentle giant -- and the Saint Bernard are generally considered the heaviest breeds.
