Q: What is the world's biggest dog breed? A: The Irish
Wolfhound is considered the world’s tallest breed of dog. A male should
be at least 32 inches tall and can be up to 34 inches, while a female should be
at least 30 inches tall. The Great Dane is also a very tall dog, ranging
from 30 to 32 inches tall for the male, though some can be as much as 34 inches
tall. Q: What if you want the heaviest dog, not the tallest dog? A: 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. The Mastiff generally comes in at about 180 pounds for grown dogs, but some experts say that they can be as heavy as 220 pounds. In comparison, Saint Bernard males can be 184 pounds or even more. The largest Irish Wolfhounds weigh in at about 120 pounds, while the Great Dane male is said by some experts to weigh from 120 to 200 pounds. Mastiff males are about 30 inches in height compared to 32 inches for the Wolfhound. The Saint Bernard male is expected to be at least 27.5 inches. Q: What dog breed has the biggest ears? A: In 2004, a Basset hound named Jack, from Fulda, Germany, holds the record for the longest ears, measuring 33.2 cm or just over a remarkable 13 inches. Q: What dog breeds are least intelligent? A: The same expert says the least intelligent on his list of 79 breeds are Borzoi, Chow Chow, Bulldog, Basenji and Afgan Hound, the Afgan being at the bottom of the list. Q: What breeds are least popular? The 10 breeds with the fewest individual registrations are;, German Pinscher, Plott, American Foxhound, Komondorok, Skye Terrier, Finnish Spitz, Ibizan Hound, English Foxhound, Harrier, and the Otterhound in the last spot, with just 17 dogs registered. Q: What is the oldest breed of dog? A: This is a complicated question, but there are helpful clues. It appears that two semi-domestic dogs -- the Dingo of Australia and the New Guinea Singing Dog -- are considered the last existing representatives of early dogs developed in southern Asia. These dogs are thought to have traveled with their human companions all the way to Australia and New Guinea. Another candidate is the Basenji, whose ancestor is also thought to have developed in southern Asia; it then moved with people into Africa, starting in Egypt. [See below for new confirmation from the latest dog genetic research]. The Canaan Dog of Israel traces to ancient pariah dog stock of the Middle East. Now, new genetic research published in May 2004 has identified 14 ancient dog breeds, with the oldest being the Chow Chow, Shar Pei, Akita, Shiba Inu and Basenji.
