This giant dog breed is all brawn and power on the outside, but deep down it is a lovable, mushy companion--and often a bit of a couch potato! These dogs can top the scales at 220 pounds and be 30 or more inches tall. However, it looks like a large percentage of the weight is in their huge heads.

And, though itâs hard to believe, these gigantic breeds are really as big as a horse â OK, maybe a miniature horse.
