There is a saying that all dogs are puppies, but some of our canine friends decide to push this idea to its very limits. I’m talking, of course, about the largest boys, the most sizable specimens.

We’ve gathered a selection of the biggest and cutest dog pics that netizens have shared online. We also got in touch with Katlin Longfield, owner of the 2Husketeers to learn a bit more about big dogs, keeping them, and other cute stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

    PSA: Don't crop your dog's ears and don't buy from breeders who crop their dogs. Docking is acceptable in certain situations (i.e., in Dobermans it can be acceptable to help prevent Happy Tail syndrome.) There is no "immediate" medical need/reason to crop a dog's ears. Some livestock-guardian breeds (such as the Kuchi Dog) are still regularly cropped in their native countries, in order to prevent predators from damaging the ears, but if your dog is just going to be a pet, then you're a complete tool if you crop its ears/buy a cropped puppy for vanity reasons.

    When people adopt doodles, they are often unaware that their coats are NOT "easy to maintain" - they are often somewhere in-between a Poodle's waterproof, thick, harsh, curly coat and the coat type of whatever the other parent breed is - which can make grooming a nightmare (or mats to form rapidly if the dog is not brushed/groomed regularly.) Watson here looks like he is well-maintained! But it's something that people should be aware of when considering adopting a doodle - they ARE mutts and are not "standard" breeds with standard coat types.
