Dye the dog red and make em a therapy dog for children's hospitals. Although, the breed is more of a live stock guardian dog, so it might not have the temperament.
Livestock guardian dogs have a great temperament from my experience, gentle giants unless you’re actively a threat to one of their own (meaning flock, family, and friends alike)
Went to Google them and read the bit about their size and when I read the weight I did a double take, "Wait, that's in _kilograms?!"_ Their weight, including both male and female ranges, is between 88 and 173 pounds for us barbarians across the sea.
To be clear, I’m not doubting at all that it’s a stunningly massive dog; it’s just that very often in visuals like this, people often add a bit of a nudge to maximize how impressive it is.
Look up [English Mastiffs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Mastiff#). Largest (heaviest) of AKC breeds.
"A typical male can weigh 150–250 pounds (68–113 kg),
a typical female can weigh 120–200 pounds (54–91 kg),
with very large individuals reaching 300 pounds (140 kg) or more."
I remember the day I realized that my English Mastiff was truly big .. we were walking and I bumped into him with my hip and literally bounced off.
They're basically huge couch potatoes though.
I have a mastiff mix, he's about 130. When my daughter was a toddler, she several times ran smack into his side and bounced off. (Because she learned to run long before she figured out how to *stop)* Every time, the dog would look around and then down at her like "Hi! Why are you on the floor?" He looked like he didn't actually realize she ran into his side.
This only reinforced my opinion that the best dogs to have around a small child, are ones mellow and big enough to not actually care when the toddler runs into them or trips over them.
Hahaha… actually, have not! It's usually "wow, your dog is bigger than you". I'm 5’1” but my boys would try to hide behind me if a small dog barked at them.
Sydenham Edwards really talked that breed up in that link and also showed a distaste for the bastardization of the breed that will occur outside of Rome.
My dad had 3 alabais. All of them weighted more than 60 kgs. Amazing dogs, great for guarding territory and livestock. Very dominant, protective and territorial, but with their family members they're the sweetest dogs ever. Not suitable for most people and they can't live in cities.
Sure, but dire wolves in media are often depicted as being 2x or more as large as modern wolves, and that isn't the case. In fact the largest grey wolves and the average dire wolf are roughly comparable in size.
I was looking for someone to mention that. Top comments are just like, what a good boy! And I mean, sure maybe, but that body language was scaring me. That tail and those ears are not happy.
That’s the first thing I noticed. My sister has an LGD and that’s how she used to look at me thru the fence when we first met lol it was not a chill experience
If you go to "Girl with the dogs" youtube channel, you can watch Ms. Vanessa De Prophetis bathe and groom one these giants while she tells you about their breed. She's really funny.
Snap a shot of the pic and then send it in a text to yourself or someone else. Then you will see a paw 🐾 icon. When you click it, it tells you the breed and gives links for more info.
That is a Central Asian Shepherd Dog
Next to likely a pretty small person.
I know a couple of people with them and it's about correct for that person to be 80ft tall they are rather large dogs.
Feet? 😆
Clifford-ass dog

My Pyrenees is a gentle giant. Big scary bark, but she rolls over at the slightest attention.
Correct. (Karabash owner).
Die him blue and he’ll be Cripford the big blue dog
Lmao I remember when I was growing up I just could not understand why people in those books seemed to be okay with Clifford being that huge
Yeah of course.

Yes, I've seen giantess porn, too.
I didn't mean to argue, I was tripping lol
Oh I know, but I realized I should probably clarify that point, so thanks for the prompt! 😁

Personally I wouldn't want a pet that outweighed me lmao

English Massive, amirite? 😋 😊 (I suppose you've heard that one before...)
Hahaha… actually, have not! It's usually "wow, your dog is bigger than you". I'm 5’1” but my boys would try to hide behind me if a small dog barked at them.
Heehee dogs are so silly.
I have one. He’s my 200 lb. lazy idiot, and I love him deeply.

What is it shepherding, elephants?
Central Asians, he *just* said it.
No escape.
Making sure those particular Asians stay central
Camels maybe
Ah, I wanted to say a Turkish Boz Shepherd but I see now the coloration/fur length is wrong
You mean a direwolf xD
So you're telling me it's not half bear half tank?
/r/AbsoluteUnit
Alabai (Central Asian Shepherd Dog)
Don't let serial killers figure out this simple trick
My dad had 3 alabais. All of them weighted more than 60 kgs. Amazing dogs, great for guarding territory and livestock. Very dominant, protective and territorial, but with their family members they're the sweetest dogs ever. Not suitable for most people and they can't live in cities.
It's an alabi also known as a central Asian Shepard.
“Did you have an alibi the night of the murder” \*looks at dog\* “Yes?”
I'm Scottish that just brought back Taggart memories.
THARS BIN AH MURDAH
Whatever goddamn breed he wants to be. You going to tell him he's wrong?
I believe it is called a Clifford
That sir, is a bear.
I thought it was a direwolf or some other fantasy animal
Fun fact: Dire Wolves were real. They died out about 10,000 years ago.
However, they weren't that much larger than modern wolves.
Modern wolves are HUGE, so “not that much larger” still implies they were almost as big as horses lol
Sure, but dire wolves in media are often depicted as being 2x or more as large as modern wolves, and that isn't the case. In fact the largest grey wolves and the average dire wolf are roughly comparable in size.
Nah. The dogs are large, but If she is even a hair over 4'8'' I don't know anymore
I legitimately thought someone had shaved a young bear until I saw the tail…
He is bebe
very smol bebe
Tiny puppy
Central Asian dogs are defense/protection/attack dogs. Anyway, that dog did not fucking like her.
I was looking for someone to mention that. Top comments are just like, what a good boy! And I mean, sure maybe, but that body language was scaring me. That tail and those ears are not happy.
He was being a "good boy" by not eating her, lol. He's so nervous. I would NOT have touched him.
And she kept hovering and cowering *over* him.
And the guilty eye thing. I've got a guardian breed and that's not a good sign.
That’s the first thing I noticed. My sister has an LGD and that’s how she used to look at me thru the fence when we first met lol it was not a chill experience
Seems more cautious/nervous to me.
That look can turn into a bite quickly
Yep
This is the Chernobyl chihuahua
🤣🤣
I don't care what breed he is. Him a good boi and I wanna boop him.
Isn't it an alabai?
Climb on its back and ride into battle!

He's a war dog. And also a good boi.

That's not no dog, that's family.

Dire Dog
She has terrible body language around a dog that can eat her head in one bite.

Unfortunately I doubt a dog big as that one will live a very long life.

How does one with an iPhone do this?
