There are big dogs, and there are really big dogs. Some people may view a 100-pound, slobbering ball of fur as an inconvenience, but we know a massive pup is just chock full of extra lovin'.

This pup seems to be a beautiful Samoyed, a dog first bred in western Siberia, that is typically used for sledding and cuddling -- to keep their owners and children warm, of course!

This is a Tibetan mastiff. In August 2013, a zoo in China's Henan Province tried to pass off one of these guys as a lion in an exhibit. The gimmick was up when the "lion" started barking... Obviously, Tibetans weigh a lot. Some can tip the scales at up to 200 pounds! 5. A fur coat that's always in season. Newfoundland dogs like the one in the rear have double coats that include a soft, dense undercoat and a coarse, long outer coat. The big guy in this photo is Samson, a great Dane/Newfoundland mix. He weighs around 280 pounds. 7. We're having a moment. With proper training, large dog breeds like this Leonberger can become extremely gentle giants. 8. The best mode of transportation. But their kindness can invite some unwanted side effects. Leonbergers can shed a lot. Two times a year the Leonberger will shed in very large quantities. Some owners have taken to referring to their dog's hair as "condiments." 9. A dog bed. St. Bernards were originally bred as working dogs and made a name for themselves rescuing avalanche victims in the Alps.

10. I'll be right here if you need me. The St. Bernard is gentle with children and know to be quite sensitive. Irish wolfhounds are known as regal, noble canines that bravely fought in battle, fiercely hunted wolves and loyally guarded homes. 12. We're gonna need a bigger car seat... Problems may occur when you own a large dog, like trying to fit them into your car, and having to spend exorbitant amounts on food. It can cost over $100 a month just to keep Fido fed! 13. No dog treats are safe. The great Dane is a dog of German descent and first bred as a boar hunter. 14. And then there's the George, the Great Dane, who was the world's tallest dog... He was three feet, seven inches from paw to his shoulder and almost seven feet long. Sadly, George died in October 2013, right before his eighth birthday. 15. But now there's Freddy, Britain's biggest dog -- er, puppy! This Great Dane measures in at seven feet, four inches on his hind legs, and he's only 18 months old!

When the puppies are born I will bThe Leonberger was first officially registered as a breed in 1846 by Heinrich Essig from Leonberg in Germany. Thought to have been developed by crossing a Newfoundland, St Bernard and Pyrenean Mountain Dog, however, as early as 1585, dogs of the same description had already been documented, so the real origin is unknown. They were used as farm dogs, able to pull small carts and act as watchdogs. Leonbergers are family dogs, happy surrounded by people and fit well into most homes; however they are huge. As long as they are with their family they are content and happy. They are excellent with other pets, dogs and children and tend to be submissive towards members of their human family. They are now bred for use as water rescue dogs, as they are powerful swimmers and have a natural affinity with water.

In some parts of the world they are still used to pull carts. They are intelligent, loyal, confident, not easily spooked and playful. They are kind and rarely show signs of aggression. Training, as with all dogs, is important but more so with a breed this size. An untrained Leonberger dragging you down the road would not be ideal. Obedience can take time, but this is mainly due to their daft, playful nature rather than their inability to learn. Leonbergers have a double coat. The long outer coat lies flat to the body, concealing a soft dense undercoat. They do moult profusely. Regular brushing is important, but the breed should not be shaved as they can cause the fur to grow back curly and prevent the dogs natural temperature regulation. A 'drag' comb should be used instead. For such a large dog, they don't require masses of exercise. A daily walk is sufficient to keep them happy as long as you are with them to give their ears a scratch when needed. Health wise, they are generally a healthy breed and strong.
