A List Of Giant Dogs That Don’t Quite Understand How Big They Actually Are

Who says big dogs can’t be cute? Just take a look at these adorable giant dogs who still think and act like the tiny puppy they were. From the smallest Chihuahua pooch to the larger English mastiff, canines have the biggest size variation of any mammal. Whether you prefer a cute miniature pooch or a giant canine companion, there’s a particular breed just for you. But, no matter how big they become, they will always be pups at heart.

We’ve seen a lot of giant dogs such as Tibetan mastiffs and Alaskan malamutes still doing puppy things despite their massive size. And they can really look super cute when they act that way. Imagine a gigantic floofball sitting on your lap or a 100-lb doggo getting scared of a 2-lb kitten. Aren’t they just the cutest thing in the world?

If you’re planning to get a dog, it’s always wise to do a bit of research about the specific breed you’re eyeing. Some big dog breeds can grow up to 30 inches tall and weigh around 200 pounds. Of course, these large canine breeds start as cute and small puppies. So, having knowledge about a particular breed’s adult size will save you from the shock when you see them grow into giants.

Many people are intimidated by the size of big dog breeds. Some may even think that a giant pet may take up a lot of space and require more upkeep. But despite their massive size, these gentle giants are as affectionate and cuddly as their smaller counterparts. When they’re around you, they tend to forget how big they are by sitting on your lap or cuddling with you. However, they won’t hesitate to put their daunting physique to use against intruders or whenever they see that you’re threatened by strangers.
