HUGE dog, check this one out.
Standing 6ft 5in tall on his hind legs, it's no wonder visitors think twice about walking down the garden path when Samson pops his head over the gate to greet them.
But although he might be the size of a small horse, owners Julie and Ray Woods insisted yesterday that Samson's bark is most definitely worst than his bite.
The Great Dane/Newfoundland cross tips the scales at an incredible 19 stone 10lb (276lb) and is believed to be Britain's tallest dog.

I bet his drool quotient is not to be believed!

We had a yard sale several weeks ago, and had a dog like this who made Fargo look like a poodle. He was a gigantic mastiff. Boudreau. He was quite impressive.

Fargo is about 5'10" on his hind legs. Just as tall as reprehensor. :D

9. What a great mix, too.
Dane/Newfie. Probably fantastic with children, and I'll bet his bark is deafening.
