Guinness has just named the tallest living dog in the world and it sure isn't a Newf http://www.postchronicle.com/news/strange/article_212267963.shtml . Unfortunately if you read about his physical condition, this Dane is another example of big is not necessarily better.
Guinness also stated that only dogs 40 inches or more will be considered so at 36 inches, Boomer was never a contender.
I'm wondering how the World Record people decide their tallest dog thing, since the original lady thought her 3 foot dog could be the 4 foot tall record...?
