Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of Worlds Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff And has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds. With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the Three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed's Standard 200lb. Limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules Weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him  normal food and he just grew".... And grew. And grew. And grew.

Check out old mate's picture !!!

Geez, I always wondered who would fit those super sized collars you see in the pet stores, guess that one would. If the dog is 2yr and weighs that much, why would she be expected to grow for 2 more years? That seems excessive..spe aking of Kell the dog they said was the real world's largest dog. Wonder what her parents looked like!

Ah hahahahaaha  Mason just saw that picture and he said... I wish Morph would get that big. And If he dont I want that dog.  TO which I asked.. How will you feed a dog that big??  His reply... Mom if you have a dog that big people will want to feed him all the time so you dont have to buy food.  Ohhh to be 5 again lol.

Whoa, I can't imagine any dog being that large, that's insane! Any dog over 200lbs let alone over 300 is wayyyyy to large for me lol..I couldn't handle that. I couldn't even afford to feed that! :o :o I love OEM's though and hubby wanted a Bull Mastiff before, but they are just too big for us.
