Newfoundland
This adorable, furry pup is actually a large working dog. They are typically either black, brown, or white-and-black (called Landseer) and they originate from good ol’ Canada. Originally the fisherman in the Dominion of Newfoundland (now Canada) bred the Newfoundland to assist them. This large breed is known for its giant size, intelligence, tremendous strength, calm dispositions, and loyalty. Newfoundland dogs excel greatly at water rescue/lifesaving because of they have a very muscular build, thick double coat, webbed feet, and innate swimming abilities.

Great Dane
Now a list like this could never be complete without including the Great Dane. This breed is a large German breed of domestic dog known for its giant size. No kidding, eh? It’s actually known as the tallest dog breed. Actually, the record holder for tallest dog was a Great Dane named Zeus (who sadly died in September 2014 at the age of 5), that measured 111.8 cm (44.0 in) from paw to shoulder. Crazy, right?
