boosboss Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) This one is Huge! He weighs in at 282 lbs apparently the breed standard is 200lbs and he's not overfed etc, just huge. Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of WorldsBiggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff and has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds. With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the Three-year-old is far larger and heavier than his breed's standard 200lb. limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him normal food and he just grew".... and grew. and grew.and grew.

LurcherGirl Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Even if it was real, it looks more like a Neapolitan Mastiff anyway, not an English one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rotties Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 No not an english one, suppose it would have worked better with the right breed on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
