How Big Are These Dogs?

Let’s get a sense of just how big they are:

“We do so much work preparing the environment for a 2-year-old, why don’t we do that for a dog?” A Great Dane can be as tall as a 5-year-old child — and if you’re creatures of the same size, it’s trickier to make your oversized minion obey.

A Saint Bernard can weigh the weight of a motorbike (50-80 kg).

An Indian Mastiff is four times as strong as a fox.

They are not just dogs, they are powerful animals. Unless well-trained, they can be difficult to manage.
