When you welcome a smol awoo into your home and heart, you don’t want to think about the day when it grows up and loses its puppy fat. But the day comes when your pupper grows into a dog. And keeps growing. And growing. And doesn’t stop. You check the Canine Instruction Manual that came with your pet and you finally realize—aha! You forgot it’s one of those giant dog breeds that make you think Clifford, the Big Red Dog might be real.
Bored Panda has collected photos of the biggest, most playful, floofiest, and young-at-heart dogs that you’d want to hug all day long and get lost in their fur, so scroll on down and give the bestest boys and girls a boop on the nose with an upvote. Is your soul yearning for some more giant dogs who don’t understand how big they are? Check out our previous big doggo posts about canines who forgot their size here, here, and here.
However, just because a dog is big, it doesn’t mean that it has to be obese (aka a chonky chonk). All jokes aside, if you want your family pet to live a long and happy life, it’s vital that you help it stay lean and avoid entering the ‘overweight zone’ which requires extra effort on your part. Bored Panda spoke about canine fitness and doggo diets with the UK’s leading vet charity, the PDSA. Read on for our full interview with them if you want to learn how to help your dog live a quality life.

His name was Schultz and I am the guy underneath him. This image has been shared well over 3 million times across the internet now and it continues to make me happy. He passed away unexpected at age 8 (about 4 years ago). My wife and I started the Schultz Foundation with the Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta in his memory....He was only 18 months old in this photo and we had just rescued him about 3 weeks earlier.

Philip Grossman, I'm so so sorry for your loss. Schultz was beautiful and I'm sure you loved that big fluffdog as much as he loved you! Your ROTTIE is also very handsome. I hope he is still with you, helping you heal. He probably misses him too. Thank you for saving Schultz and for starting your foundation.

When I was a skinny 12yo girl I used to take my neighbour's Great Pyrenees for walks. Cars would pull over while occupants gawked in shameless disbelief at this 70 lb. child walking a 100 lb. dog. The inevitable question was "Yes but who is walking who??" followed by raucous guffaws. I love those memories--and I miss you gentle Colosse.

Bonner, Newfoundland, Can Often Be Spotted In Our Rehabiliation Unit Encouraging Patients
The PDSA explained to Bored Panda that a dog’s food is “an essential part” of their fitness. So you can’t just focus only on getting lots of movement—you need to give dieting and nutrition some proper attention, too! Similarly, you can’t get just the diet right while ignoring the importance of exercise.
“Making sure they are fed on a complete diet which keeps them at their ideal weight is important to keep them fit and healthy. As a general rule, we tend to give our pets too much food which can lead to obesity and reduced activity levels,” a representative of the PDSA told Bored Panda.

Once A Lap Dog, Always A Lap Dog
It’s better to err on the side of too little food than too much when we’re living in a society of overabundance, then. What’s more, you should do a bit of personal research to learn what the ideal weight for your dog breed is for its age. If in need, talk to a professional to get their take on what’s what.
Getting serious about health means putting in the time and energy to make your dog’s life better. And that means treating your pet’s health like you would your own if you’re all about fitness. So get your kitchen scales out!
“The best way to monitor your dog’s food intake is to weigh both them and their food. You can discuss your dog’s weight with your vet and check their body condition at home. Once you have a starting point and know what their target weight should be, start weighing and monitoring their food and treats to see how much they’re getting,” the PDSA said.

“You might want to try weighing out their portions at the start of the week to make it easy to keep track of what’s being fed. Reweigh your dog after a few weeks and see if they’ve gained, lost, or maintained their weight, then adjust their amount of food to fit your goal.”
Just remember—you’ve got to take into account any leftovers of extras that you might be giving your dog. So no munching on cheeky treats in secret!

Great pics, great dogs, but I am a bit worried, that Great Pyrenees are depicted as 'gentle giants'. The male ones are certainly not, not in Europe, anyway. They are territorial guard dogs - not watch dogs, guard dogs. They take a defensive stance, at first, but eventually the get physical. And they are very independent, so they decide who and what needs guarding. Im aslo a bit stunned at how oversized some breeds are. I really hope that is not a trend in breeding because that woudl have disastrous consequences for the breed's health. Still: gorgeous dogs!!
cassiushumanmother 4 years ago
You made a good comment "Maybe it's because the European ones still have to do their jobs". You go a hint in your own comment. That's because a lot of working breeds are now "family dogs"so the breeders select the most gentle, the most tiny, the most cute over the most effective to work. That's a crime for me when it comes to a completely different breed and the lost of the "real" one. I have a finnish lapphund and i selected him carefuly, they can be like a pomenarian (look and almost weight...) or like a great sherpherd depending on the bloodline. You can get a lapdog or a wolf, behavior included. I'm fine with my little wolf and he won't get any disease from the GMO breeders. You can have a Pyrénées shepherd lapdog, or a real Pyrénées shepherd, depending on the bloodline. And as usual, some humans don't care since they make money out of it, and do not know a thing about the breed. The problem won't be solved until people stop to think "cute i want one!" when they see any animal.

Lots of text about feeding, but nothing about the quality of the food. Commercial kibble is highly processed and hyper-heated. Chemically it may have all the basic components of nutrition, but it is crap food. Purina is the worst. Grains are not a natural part of a canine diet. Nor are poultry bi-products like feet, beaks, and feather meal! Make your own dog food!!

SS Minnesotan war ein Frachtschiff, das 1912 für die American-Hawaiian Steamship Company gebaut wurde. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs war sie als USAT Minnesotan im Dienst der US-Armee und USS Minnesotan (ID-4545) im Dienst der US-Marine bekannt. Sie wurde als eines von acht Schwesterschiffen gebaut und im Inter-Küstendienst über die Landenge von Tehuantepec und den Panamakanal eingesetzt. Im Ersten Weltkrieg transportierte Minnesotan ab September 1917 Fracht und Tiere nach Frankreich. Nach dem Waffenstillstand gab sie über 8.000 amerikanische Truppen zurück. 1919 nahm Minnesotan den Frachtdienst zwischen den Küsten wieder auf. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde das Schiff von der War Shipping Administration requiriert und verkehrte zunächst zwischen New York und karibischen Häfen. In der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres 1943 segelte Minnesotan zwischen Häfen im Indischen Ozean und im folgenden Jahr zwischen Häfen in New York und dem Vereinigten Königreich, bevor sie in die Karibik zurückkeh

oh my gosh, I love big dogs! my family is thinking about getting another dog when we move, I'm hoping it's gonna be a big dog, not a medium like our other dog is, but I'd be happy with any dog! other than chiwawas, or other devil dogs...

My boy isn't tiny, he's about 90 pounds, 65 of which is hair I think. He loves to sit on my lap. He has two girlfriends in our neighbourhood, a Newfoundlander and a St. Bernard

When my mom was a kid my grandparents had a Saint Bernard. Every time one of them arrived home it was a race to get near a wall for support before he could reach them, because he would topple them over giving kisses . Mom still smiles remembering him.

We had an Alaskan Malamute who was 120 lbs. You didn’t walk her - she walked you.

Our malamute is such a good walker and he will go at your pace. Our husky shepherd mix on the other hand has to be in front and she always wants to go fast!

Great pics, great dogs, but I am a bit worried, that Great Pyrenees are depicted as 'gentle giants'. The male ones are certainly not, not in Europe, anyway. They are territorial guard dogs - not watch dogs, guard dogs. They take a defensive stance, at first, but eventually the get physical. And they are very independent, so they decide who and what needs guarding. Im aslo a bit stunned at how oversized some breeds are. I really hope that is not a trend in breeding because that woudl have disastrous consequences for the breed's health. Still: gorgeous dogs!!

You made a good comment "Maybe it's because the European ones still have to do their jobs". You go a hint in your own comment. That's because a lot of working breeds are now "family dogs"so the breeders select the most gentle, the most tiny, the most cute over the most effective to work. That's a crime for me when it comes to a completely different breed and the lost of the "real" one. I have a finnish lapphund and i selected him carefuly, they can be like a pomenarian (look and almost weight...) or like a great sherpherd depending on the bloodline. You can get a lapdog or a wolf, behavior included. I'm fine with my little wolf and he won't get any disease from the GMO breeders. You can have a Pyrénées shepherd lapdog, or a real Pyrénées shepherd, depending on the bloodline. And as usual, some humans don't care since they make money out of it, and do not know a thing about the breed. The problem won't be solved until people stop to think "cute i want one!" when they see any animal.

I adore giant dogs, but they're very short lived. If in top health, most of these breeds live 8-10 years.

I LOVE big dogs! But, unfortunately, the bigger the dog, the shorter the lifespan :(

Not when it comes to malamutes usually. They can live to be 15!

Why do so many have mutilated ears? I know this post is supposed to be wholesome, and the doggies are adorable, but seeing these gentle giants with cut ears just puts a damper on the whole thing...

thank you for this i love the newfie and danes most. Growing up for a while I had a great dane loved him to bits his name was crash. he had was a harlequin and had a heart-shaped spot we joked it was he had such a big heart and gave him the middle name Valintine because of it. he passed when I was 11. guess when? valentines day. I now live by my self and have a Newfoundland affectionally called slinky because he is so flexible. he reminds me of Crash. I miss Crash he was my best friend growing up and sometimes when I see a great dane I want to cry and hug him because it looks like crash.

My Minerva just turned 1; she’s 105 lbs and almost 6 feet tall on her hind legs...her feet don’t fit yet, so there’s still some growing to do! She’s a Presa Canario, which is a type of mastiff from the Canary Islands. I got her from a shelter, so she’s an absolute mush, just loves everyone and every dog she meets! And yes, she loves to lay on her mommy like her cat sisters do! I’d post her picture but I have no idea how.

Lots of text about feeding, but nothing about the quality of the food. Commercial kibble is highly processed and hyper-heated. Chemically it may have all the basic components of nutrition, but it is crap food. Purina is the worst. Grains are not a natural part of a canine diet. Nor are poultry bi-products like feet, beaks, and feather meal! Make your own dog food!!

I've only ever had small dogs. I'd love to have a large breed dog, but most of them don't live nearly as long, and I feel like I'd just be signing up to be emotionally devastated every 8-10 years.

SS Minnesotan war ein Frachtschiff, das 1912 für die American-Hawaiian Steamship Company gebaut wurde. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs war sie als USAT Minnesotan im Dienst der US-Armee und USS Minnesotan (ID-4545) im Dienst der US-Marine bekannt. Sie wurde als eines von acht Schwesterschiffen gebaut und im Inter-Küstendienst über die Landenge von Tehuantepec und den Panamakanal eingesetzt. Im Ersten Weltkrieg transportierte Minnesotan ab September 1917 Fracht und Tiere nach Frankreich. Nach dem Waffenstillstand gab sie über 8.000 amerikanische Truppen zurück. 1919 nahm Minnesotan den Frachtdienst zwischen den Küsten wieder auf. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde das Schiff von der War Shipping Administration requiriert und verkehrte zunächst zwischen New York und karibischen Häfen. In der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres 1943 segelte Minnesotan zwischen Häfen im Indischen Ozean und im folgenden Jahr zwischen Häfen in New York und dem Vereinigten Königreich, bevor sie in die Karibik zurückkeh

I’ve raised Newfie’s. The are the gentlest dogs. They were the inspiration for Nana in Peter Pan and are very protective of kids. A very large friend was tickling our 4 yo and she didn’t like it, so Midnight moved between our friend and our daughter and nicely kept them separated the entire night. She never growled or got aggressive, she just kept between our little girl and our 6’5” 375 pound friend.
