Informative Twitter Thread: The 10 Largest Dog Breeds In The World

Here at ICanHasCheezburger we looooove doggos. Big dogs, small dogs, short dogs, tall dogs, we are doggy-positive no matter what. But we must admit that we have a special soft spot for enormous chonky dogs that act like gentle giants. Many large dogs seem to have a complete lack of awareness for how big they truly are, which gets extra funny when big dogs try to act like small dogs and sit on people's laps. It's also adorable watching tiny children playing with enormous dogs, nothing could be heckin' cuter than that.  

From enormous baby doggos, to giant senior doggos, there's no pup we don't want to learn more about. That's why we're so happy that twitter user @Bigmozel created this informative twitter thread about the top ten largest dog breeds in the world. We know that we learned a lot from reading through, and we really hope you enjoy it:

    Dog - BIGMOZEL - TOP 10 @Bigmozel 1. Caucasian Shepherd Dog The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a breed originating from ancient Caucasus dogs. The breed was developed from dogs of the Caucasus Mountains and the steppe regions of Southern Russia.

    Look at what a serious boi this doggo is, walking through the cold like it's nothing! This big boy is so intimidating, he could yell 'fetch!' and we'd be scared to say no to him. In addition to being known as a ferocious large dog, the Caucasian shepherd dogs have been described as "fierce family protectors" (source: dogtime)
