ND woman's 7-foot-long dog could be record holder
CASSELTON, N.D. – Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, he might be the world's tallest living dog. Owner Caryn Weber says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family's eastern North Dakota farm house.
Boomer stares into car windows eye to eye with drivers. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts the 180-pound canine a couple of weeks.
Weber says her furry black and white dog "comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around."
Weber plans to send Boomer's measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a nearly 4-foot-tall Great Dane that died this summer.

I've never seen a dog that big. I'm surprised that 20 pound bag of dog food lasts a few weeks. You'd think it would eat more as big as it is.

I promise you that's not the biggest dog. We were at Fry's (I don't guess it matters, but it was the electonics version, not the grocery) one day and I swear I kid you not -- there was a full sized truck w/ a full sized bed with a dog who took up the whole stinkin thing. I remember it so well cause he left it in the truck w/out being tied up or anything. Ppl were petrified. I was gonna walk up to it and love on it but my husband wouldn't let me. I've posted about this dog before, if anyone thinks I'm making it up, you can look it up... I'm 5'3 and the dog was atleast as tall as me... it's head was twice as big as a soccer ball... this dog was amazing. The owner finally came out (apparently not surprised by all the ppl taking pictures) and said he'd had it imported from Australia (I think)... anyways, it turned out to be this giant lapdog... the sweetest thing... I would not want to feed a dog that size... but damn!

I have 2 dogs.. one is a lab and one is mutt.. 1/2 english shephard, 1/2 airdale terrier and he is HUGE. when he stands on his back legs he is about 6' ft tall. I go thru a 40 lb bag of food in less than 2 weeks. They get fed twice a day.. about half huge pickle jar each at each feeding
If ya ain't careful, this flea will bite your arse!

I can't imagine the dog food lasting as long as they say. I go through that much with 3 dogs in 2 weeks.
He is a nice looking dog, dh would never let me have one LOL
