What is the tallest dog breed in the world?
Correct answer: Great Dane
Montana Lady
Wrong! I showed Great Danes for decades. The tallest living dog is a Great Dane, but the tallest breed on average is the Irish Wolfhound.

I always thought irish wolfhounds were the tallest dog breed?? 🐶

The Irish Wolfhound is the tallest dog breed in the world. There is great deviation among individuals in dogs, just like people. Even though a great dane is the tallest dog in the world, it doesn't mean the breed is.

Rlud75, you are correct. A specific Great Dane might be taller than a specific Irish Wolfhound, but as a breed overall the Wolfhound is tallest.

Irish Wolfhounds are taller, on average, than Danes. Love my Great Dane, but I've seen Wolfies at shows, and they are definitely taller.

They love to try to curl up in your lap! lol!

Chezikeets, unfortunately they are short lived. Called the Heartbreak dog. I have a mixed breed pound puppy. Best personality, loyal, not much to look at but less genetic tampering!

I have always believed Irish wolfhounds to be the tallest dogs.

My father was 6'4". Our Great Dane Duke could put his paws on my dads shoulders and look him in the eye.

irish wolfhound is bigger

Am I right in thinking that Great Danes have a very short life span...5-7 years? It's odd that smaller breeds live longer than large; generally in life it's the other way round. A friend's Yorkshire Terrier lived to be 21!

Montana Lady, you are ABSOLUTELY correct!

Interesting fact: In Denmark a Great Dane is called a Grand Danois, which is French for Great Dane.

Player #3748832, yes but its not a registered breed in America.

Rlud75, They are about the same size. My neighbors have one of each.

Taranchalanche, so true. the larger the breed of dog, the shorter the lifespan.
tinabobina
Montana Lady, well isn't that what the question asks, not the tallest breed on average. Depends how you read it I suppose.
Bulldogsmomma
Montana Lady, exactly what I thought. Either way I absolutely love both breeds. But, of course I prefer my English Bulldogs. 😀

Montana Lady, you are right, they are wrong!
