So, the thing is, the genes for size don’t add up or multiply, they overlap and the dominant ones win. If your goal is bigger then it’s better to just pick the biggest ones from many litters and breed them, as is the origin of many of the large breeds listed.
The first time I saw one of those was in person, and also the weirdest place. Was installing internet for a small business and they had a California king size bed in an office right behind the reception desk and this giant fucking dog was taking up the entire bed.
I hella want one so my huge ass could ride a dog like a horse. They are that big.
TBH I kind of like small dogs. If trained with proper strictness and authority they’re just as likely to attack babies and small animals as a big dog but far less capable of doing harm. I wouldn’t trust dogs with their own litters, I barely trust people to be rational so I would never expect a dog to just “be good.”

Nobody should. They need to be taught what is good and bad just like a person. If you want a pet that can basically care for itself, get a cat.
I dunno, she doesn’t look that big.
While that is using a bit of forced perspective, they are big dogs.
I knew someone with one and it could lick the dirty plates in the sink without having to jump on, or even reach over, the counter.
I think he weighed just over 200 pounds.
