The Great Dane (18th Century. French: Grand Danois), also known as German Mastiff (German Deutsche Dogge) or Danish Hound (German Dänischer Hund), is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) known for its giant size. The breed is commonly referred to as the "Apollo of all the K9 breeds". The Great Dane is one of the world's tallest dog breeds. The current world record holder, measuring 109 cm (43 in) from paw to shoulder; 220 cm (7.2 ft) from head to tail, was named George. The previous Great Dane to hold the world record as tallest living dog was named Gibson, who was 31⁄2 ft (106.7 cm) tall at the whithers and 7 ft 1 in (215.9 cm) on his hind legs.
