What is the largest breed of domestic dog in the world?

I thought maybe Irish Wolfhound or Great Dane.
Answers:
irish wolfhound is the tallest,great dane not far behind.the largest in terms of courage is the tiny jack russell.
You stupid freak its Irish Wolfhouse..duh!
Largest in height or weight, or overall?
Depends what you mean by large.

The English Mastiff is the heaviest, the Irish Wolfhound is the tallest.
Digby?
Pound wise it's the English Mastiff.
st. bernard
Irish Wolfhound.
The explanation is here

not sure, but i think it's a Mastiff
Well it depends.

The tallest are like the great danes.
ZORBA. you've got to check this out!
Probably a mastiff. Like a Neapolitan Mastiff, like Fang in Harry Potter (the movies--I don't think he's that breed in the books.) Those things are ginormous.

But even Newfies are huge...they're like bears. Enormous. Newfoundland...Retrievers? Are they Retrievers?

But you also have to remember that hounds aren't that massive, not like some dogs. Irish Wolfhounds are pretty lean, not much bulk. They're tall...but not that heavy.

So it also depends on what you mean by "largest." Largest in terms of height, weight, what?
Weight? Mastiff

Tallest by breed is the Irish Wolfhound

but currently there is a record holding Great Dane that is freakishly tall AFAIK
In the Guinness book of World Records it is the Great Dane by height and the English Mastiff in weight.
English Mastiff

Actually, I always thought Great Danes were the biggest (not the heaviest). It appears I am right:

that mexican family that moved in down the street
I thought it's afghan hound. But looks like I am dead wrong
Irish Wolfhound is the tallest, but I think a Great Dane just past the normal size of a Wolfhound, but that's rare. As far as weight goes that would be the Mastiff Breeds a friend of mine has a Brazilian Mastiff that's already way over 200 pounds and she's still a puppy..and still growing!
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. Although most Mastiff males weigh around 160-230 pounds and females around 120-190 pounds. The height of a mastiff can range from 25 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 Old English Mastiff.
its the great dane by far
irish wolfhound
largest-st.bernard
tallest-irish wolfhound.
FACT!
I thought it was the Great Pyrenees... maybe its just all that fur. bigger than the St. anyway...
The Irish Wolfhound,
The answer to your question depends on your definition of largest. If you mean in height, then the answer is the Irish Wolfhound at 32 to 34".

If, on the other hand, you mean the weightiest then that was usually believed to be the Saint Bernard. The heaviest dog on record was a Saint Bernard named Benedictine, which weighed 152.5kg (336 lbs). An average male weighs in at about 184 lbs. However the English Mastiff is often over that weight nowadays. The heaviest on record in the UK in the last 30 years weighed in at about 23 Stone, or 322lbs.
Yes I believe it is the Irish Wolfhound.
im not sure but i think the biggest dog in the world would have to be some of those mountain dogs wow they are so big but the wolfhound would have to be close i might be wrong though either way they are both fairly big dog vonn
if u go on to yahoo vidoes and tipe in worlds tallest dog there should be a video of it. its a great dane whith spots
the Irish wolfhound is the largest breed of dog in the world
tallest standing is the irish woolfhound heaviest would be close between the mastiff and st bernard
