The biggest Dog Ever According to Guiness World Records. Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of worlds Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff and whas 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.

ok this is bullshit... the breed standard for Mastiffs calls for it to be proportionate to the specific heights and lengths and that is absolutely impossible for it to be within breed standard at 200 lbs. IMPOSSIBLE. Males call for 160 and I think even that is a little high in order to clear a health clearance.
Bull Mastif's are comparable in size and aren't supposed to be much bigger than 130 tops...
no kennel club on the planet would ever accept standards like that, which means anyone breeding these oversized mammoths are hacks. Their life span is short enough as it is, what would you think would happen to your giant dog if it is bigger than the standard? Wouldn't live past 3 or 4 years old tops...
