Jax is an Anatolian/ Great Pyrenees mix. 11 months old as of a couple days ago, and at least 100 pounds. He might get as big as Jim’s dog, so between him and his brother that’s a few pounds lighter, the bears and lions just might look for easier pickings.
We have an overweight Minature Schnauzer that weighs in at about 18 pounds! memtb

My dog is nowhere in the running for biggest. 45 pound mini-Aussie German shepherd mix. Too smart for her own good. We go to a dog park though, and there’s a 7 month old Great Dane that goes about 140 or so, has no idea how big she is. Gotta keep your knees bent around her or she’ll try to turn you into a flamingo.
My Newfoundland, Buster, might have been a contender but he is no longer with me. 180 lbs and 32" at the shoulder in his prime. One of the best dogs I've ever had.
Delilah, a Fila Brasileiro, she is about 140. They were originally bred in Brazil to hunt down runaway slaves. Bloodlines of Mastiff, Bulldog, and Bloodhound. They cannot be socialized, but are very loving and submissive to the owner. She is a great dog, but people fear her. Wise idea.
We also have a Mastiff..... he is bigger yet
Seven more dogs here but nothing nearly as large.....
Dang! How do you feed these monsters?! My 65 pound Lab seems like a big dog to me. For whatever reason, most of my dogs end up in the 40 to 50 lb range (Boykin Spaniels, Pit Bulls, mutts etc.). I justify having more dogs since they don’t eat as much.
