i saw gibson at a local neighborhood dog event over the summer in the san jose area. i have a great dane too, but he's not nearly that tall (though he is taller than me when he's on his hind legs - probably about 5'6"). the only thing i worry about with gibson is strain on his knees and hips from being made to stand so much. dogs aren't made to stand on their hind legs like that, and i'm sure he weighs over 150 lbs, so that can't be good over time...

[devilot]

Holy moly... that is one tall doggie. I prefer big dogs... that is until they do precisely that-- stand on their hind legs and tower over me. :o He looks like a sweetie, though.

[ijimk]

Shaq look out. i bet even the dog hits free throws better than him. heck he would probabaly just work for doggie bisquits and be just about as tall lol :D

[Lacero]

Such a large animal, but so friendly too. :)

Good doggie!

[jefhatfield]

at 3 years old, he may get even bigger, or at least heavier

he looks like a big puppy still somewhat in his awkward phase

[katie ta achoo]

That dog probably weighs more than I do.

That dogs probally nicer than my chihauhau.

[devilot]

That dogs probally nicer than my chihauhau.Seriously... I've met nastier meaner little dogs than big ones. There was this one woman in the area who walked her doberman and her doberman-marking-look-alike chihuahua all the time-- the tiny one was evil, pure evil, but the big doberman was the biggest sweetheart.

[emw]

Amazing. It's good that Great Danes are generally so even-tempered. We had a neighbor that raised them, and one day one of her puppies got out and was roaming the neighborhood. Our dog was barking one night about 10:00 and I went out to get her inside and saw this dog looking over our gate, which was 4' tall. This dog was 6 months old.

We took her home, and she was still a rather clumsy puppy. Let me tell you, walking her back you knew when she ran into you. She almost knocked me over a couple times (I'm about 6' and was about 190 lbs at the time).

tiny dogs = pure evil, yeah i can buy that since i have seen it way too much...either they are mean or they can manipulate the heck out of you ;)

Our neighbors have 3 chihuahuas and they tend to roam the neighborhood unattended. Except in our yard, since one of them almost got eaten by our labs when they wandered into our yard (and our dogs are sweethearts).

They're just these little yippy nasty buggers. I know some can be fine, but these are just annoying.

[ipacmm]

thats a really big dog.

[MongoTheGeek]

Little bit bigger and you can put a saddle on it.

God that thing would need a pretty big dog house

you mean you wouldn't want to cuddle with this puppy? :D

[zelmo]

A guy I work with has a Saint Bernard and a VW Cabriolet. He brought his dog to work on an off day, when it was a mere pup. At 9 months of age, the dog was 120 pounds. It was kinda funny seeing him get the dog back into the car when he left. The dog, sitting in the passenger seat, was taller than the man.

Don't know how related it is, but he recently traded in that Cabrio for a Honda Element.

Dogs are smelly, slobbery SMELLY creatures!

Grooossssssss

[Lacero]

Dogs shouldn't be smelly. If they are fed the right diet, they actually smell 'normal'. My dog has a pleasant smell. Her natural odor is actually quite pleasant and comforting, especially when I am cuddling with her in bed.

[emw]

GrooossssssssSo my kids, but I love them too.

So are we. What's you point?

In reference to the OP: to quote my girlfriend's grandpa, "holy cows!"

[jsw]

"I've seen him twice now, and he's a really tall dog," a neighbor said.

Wow. That's a fine quote. :rolleyes:

Although the more I read it, the more it makes me laugh.

ANYway... cool dog. I've known a number of that breed, and they've all been sweethearts.

And KT: wait until you get married. You think dogs are bad? ;)

[katie ta achoo]

So my kids, but I love them too.

:D Class!

you can put deodorant on a human.

...my logic is astounding, yes.

edit to add:
And KT: wait until you get married. You think dogs are bad? ;)
blah. that's what pre-nups are for.
"by signing this document, I promise to shower every day" or something along those lines.

haha, so silly, dont worry, i'd much rather cuddle with you silly ;)

i bet dogs and cats think we reek

[jimsowden]

That's a huuuuuuuge bitch.

[katie ta achoo]

i bet dogs and cats think we reek

but they don't have opposable thumbs, so they can't take off the cap of.. cat/dog deodorant... because that exists...

Also, they can't yell at us.

actually, every time I get out my viola or violin, both the dog and cat go friggin' nuts. BLA! I have to practice in the bathroom sometimes. (has the best acoustics in the house!)

[jsw]

I was following emw's post in a didn't-get-any-sleep-last-night brain dead sort of way and TRYING to mean babies but it came across as husbands.

But, yeah, husbands too. Shower they may, but chili will get to them. And the blankets pretty much contain the result to you and him.

[jsw]

Maybe they're music aficionados... :D

Just kidding!

Well, maybe. Any recordings of you playing available? ;)

Nooo!!!!

well, just as long as he doesn't have a giant dog.

not yet.
thankfully.
you don't want to hear this mess I have going on.

I'll post a few after my senior recital!

[jsw]

[devilot]

So my kids, but I love them too.:shudder: That's why I can't imagine having kids for a loooooooong time. :p

Barring accidents, you always have kids for a loooooooong time.

Be careful, one thing could lead to another...

What kind of sick bastard...

That is one huge dog. In the picture, it looks like the dog is standing on the person but is standing on a chair or something like that. For some reason the body just doesn't seem long enough (despite the fact you can't see the whole body).

I was just going to post this and when i clicked on the second page i see you beat me to. I can't remember what movie i saw this in, i do remember that the huge bitch and the main character are walking around someone and someone out of the screen yells it, damn now i can't go to bed till i figure this out.

[devilot]

It's platonic, honest. :)

Psst, Toreador93 dunno if my computer is messed up, but I can't see your image.

pretty dog. I love dogs. Not small little rat-dogs though.

[RedTomato]

I like intelligent dogs, especially working dogs. Not the stupid ones.

I used to dislike dogs, till I met a working sheepdog when I was a teenager. That dog was more intelligent than half the people I'd met up to that point. A few hours playing with her changed my views with dogs forever...

An aquaintance has a lapdog, some sort of poodle / chiwahuana crossbreed. It's so dumb I got fed up with it. We went to the park, and it would walk a couple of meters, start feeling lost and mewl around for its owner, who was standing a couple of feet behind it. I started wanting to punt it over the hedge. Deffo true what they say about dogs being as intelligent as their owner. (Rimshot :)

I'm thinking of getting a Hearing Dog for the Deaf, as my family and 9 month old kid are all Deaf, and she's getting to the point where she's gonna be wandering around having adventures and getting lost.

I used to be quite against Hearing Dogs for the Deaf (I'm Deaf myself) as I think it's insulting to the dog to use it as an alarm clock or doorbell alerter (buy a vibrating alarm clock and a flashing doorbell!).

Also the charity that trains them fundraises far more easily than many organisations that do more important work with the Deaf community (Do i seem cynical? Me?)

Now that I have a Deaf daughter, a dog could be useful in helping us to find her when she falls over / gets lost / aid family communications.

Why specifically a Hearing Dog? Tho I'm not keen on that name, in the UK, they have greater legal rights than most dogs, it's easier to travel with them, and they can enter restaurants and so on.

Recently their training has been changed so I can specify what training they get - I don't want an intelligent dog's brain wasted on becoming a canine alarm clock - so I'm a little more easy with the idea of getting a Hearing Dog now.

Little bit bigger and you can put a saddle on it.

:)

Good idea. Then you can ride it to work. The money you save on gas could be used to feed that monster. ;)

The title reminded me of this picture:

[Les Kern]

Dogs are smelly, slobbery SMELLY creatures!

Grooossssssss

Agreed.
And cats were put on this earth to be fed to dogs... by the truckloads, the smug little bastards.
And nothing, and I mean nothing, smells as bad as cat urine.
As you can see, I love animals... that's why I keep a raincoat and sledge hammer handy at all times.

[wrxguy]

I have a beagle....a dog that is that big is way too big....

*locks cat in bathroom*

So he doesn't poo on the carpet? What a nice dog.

Edit: Cat's rule.

[katie ta achoo]

naw, he poos on the carpet, but don't take him and drown him in the river.

that would be bad.

STUPID DOG.

maybe it's just a tiny dog and they needed a story.

I know! They're all awful awful pictures. :rolleyes:

[Lord Blackadder]

Hmm, judging by the pictures it looks like the owner of the World's Tallest Dog is also owner of the World's Crappiest Car...:rolleyes: :D

I mean, geez lady, get something a little roomier for your hobby eh? :eek:

[wdlove]

That is a very nice looking dog. He would certainly dwarf me. Someone that is above me in in height makes me nervous.

[runplaysleeprun]

I've had three Irish Wolfhounds, and I would almost swear that the second one (now deceased, on my birthday, no less) was about 7 feet tall standing. I'm 6'1, and it was significantly taller than me. i'll hunt down a photo, I think any photos of him on his two hind legs predated my digital camera, so I'll have to grab a scanner, too. and, when I was in ireland a few years ago, I went to one of the breeders of irish wolfhounds, and they had one that was a little larger than the one I had. The one I have now, though, is a female, and shes only a year and half or so old, and shes about as tall as me standing up, maybe an inch of two shorter. irish wolfhounds: most gentle dogs ever.

Neither of the two of the dogs we've had have been very big... on the other hand, they were both competely bat(dog?)**** insane. I'm not sure if there's some connection there.

[OutThere]

I thought this was the world's biggest dog:

<snip the obscene image>


AHHHG...my eyes :eek: :eek: Don't make me think about that movie again.

*cries in corner*

[camomac]

That's a huuuuuuuge bitch.

thats a freakishly huge bitch.

[runplaysleeprun]

this is shortly after we got the puppy. i think shes about 2 months old in this. I'm on the left, and I'm just over 6 feet tall. those shorts are a bit hiked up on me, his back was just level with my waist.

[mpw]

At lunch today I popped to the bank and outside as I went in there was a women with a large dog, which looked like a cross between a labrador and a doberman. It looked like a young dog but was still pretty big and as she crossed the road it just lay down in the middle of the road and refused to move. The stubborn son of a bitch just lay there and refused to move, as I went in she was having to lift it's rear end a shift it then lift the front end to 'walk' it across the road.

I came out again about ten mins. later and she'd made it to the side of the road out of the traffic and was on the phone, to I'm guessing her husband, saying "..well I can't bloody lift him and he won't walk. You'll have to come and get him.."

She was well pissed when I took a photo with my cellphone:D

[raggedjimmi]

he'd eat my grandmas shih-tzu, shes 4 and very small. have trouble with my dog though, shes a stubborn one. she wouldn't want to get eaten i dont think.

Different breeds have different smells.

Rottweilers (I'm SURE that spelling's wrong!) smell like wet dogs when they're dry. They STINK.

I had a half-husky that actually smelled NICE...

Of course, I had two cockers where one smelled good and the other smelled like ear wax... :p

[jayscheuerle]

It's platonic, honest. :)

http://www3.telus.net/poojja/sammy.jpg

Instant cocker!!

[jayb2000]

but dogs Rule! :-D

I have owned both in my life and I like cats, as long as they are outdoor cats.
Litterboxes are right up there with open sewers as far as hygiene and smell goes. Plus, it seems indoor cats are always a little bit crazy. I mean, if you need to declaw your cat because it is going crazy and shredding the furniture, or having to deal with "marking" (basically the cat spraying pee/musk over everything) maybe its not supposed to be in the situation it is in. :rolleyes:

On the other hand, after a couple of weeks of training, any dog will go outside to do its business, and dogs actually are glad to see you when you come home, regardless if its feeding time or not.

Currently I have a 3 year old, 115lb, female Bernese Mountain Dog, named Scout. Attached is a pic from last winter, she loves snow!

Its tiny, but I don't have the pictures on this POS work computer.
