This is Giant George from AZ. He's going to be on Oprah today, too. (These are not shopped... he really is 235# and 7 feet long!) I love dogs, but that thing is like 15 kinds of disaster. Too big. I wonder do giant breeds of dogs have the same problems that human giants have? IE; prone to joint injuries, overworked hearts, blood sugar problems requiring very strict diets, etc. FB page: http://www.facebook.com/GiantGeorge website: http://www.giantgeorge.com

Hello Teamrose, Aww shucks, Ive just missed Oprah. I wont tell my husband about this. We have a 100lbs Labrador and he thinks he's tiny. He says he wants a BIG dog. Im not so keen on it. I dont think Id be able to hold him with a leash, he'd probably take ME for a walk haha! I dont know if they have the same health problems but it would be something to look into if someone cant provide the care for these dogs.

Wow, a 100 lbs Lab. Please tell me you don't keep him in the house. Your grocery bill must be enormous. Have you always wanted such a big dog?

Thanks Pola. I'll have to watch it online then. Teamrose, he's he weight that much and remains at 97-100 lbs. He's always indoors but we take him for walks at least twice a day. Our vet says he's healthy but shouldnt put on anymore weight, so we keep an eye on his diet. He's my first dog, so I wasnt sure what I wanted exactly. We got him as a pup at 6 weeks and he sort of grew on me hehe!! As for the cost of feeding him.....yeah its quite a lot, but it goes with the pleasure of owning a dog.

I have not....but I wish I have. I met huge dog years ago. The poor boy was sick and couldn't walk, four people needed to carry him outside... I may watch Oprah on line to see George.

I am just now watching photos of George and HE'S HUGE man. I mean, do dogs grow that big?? even for his breed. But he's cute. All dogs are just adorable. They are man's best friend after all. I bet that George require a lot of attention...he really is huge, can't get over that fact, I will watch him on youtube.
