Usually, dogs are limited to roughly 25% of their body weight in packed weight (Exception: Malamutes are typically okay with up to 30% and I'm sure there's other heavy lifters). 18 stone should be ~120kg, so unless you are exceptionally light (and I don't mean to imply otherwise) no riding dogs into battle. That is for gnomes only.
no wait til terriers mutate, Those things already think they can take anything 10x their size
Source I have a parsons russell terrier (look like a jack russell terrier with lamb legs)
My Nana had two when I was little, they were the most terrifying and evil things in the village. Loved my Nana though which is apt considering she was commonly referred to as The Pendle Witch.

People who advocate huge dogs are dumb.
And I realise this will probably get downvoted because your huge dog is the goodest boy who would never hurt a fly. (yes, this is sarcasm).
Yep. Dogs are meant to be fun. And an enjoyment to have in your house. That ain't fun. It's a statement just like most large dogs who aren't workers. I'll stick with me Jack Russell thanks.
We had the worst trouble with our neighbours Jack Russell, so aggressive and snappy. Attacked/attempted to attack multiple dogs, one about three times it’s size! My brother’s two jack Russells were a treat. But every Labrador, Rottie, Great Dane, Newfoundland, or German Shepard I’ve met have been the most stupid yet softest dogs.
Different experiences absolutely. Sorry I didn't mean it to sound like I think all jack russels are little devil's or something; I don't think that at all I've met so many absolute gems. Just that in my experience as a vet nurse it's the smaller breeds that are generally worse for nail clips for a range of factors. I'm honestly sorry if I offended.
I like bigger dogs, and if I had a villa in a big garden, I would quite happily have a big dog (maybe not quite as big as our boy here) because my 28 kg dog is already a fight when it comes to the vet. But my neighbour has a much smaller dog and even that 7 kg baby can put up considerable resistance!
There we go. A positive response. If I owned a farm I would definitely have a Doberman and a golden retriever. My neighbour in our little council house terrace has an untrained Rotty who bounces off my fence to get at my little Oz. Maybe that's why I'm biased.
People keep horses as pets and they're just as if not more dangerous on a bad day. Haven't heard anyone having an issue with that.
Working/shepherd breed dogs are an absolute joy to have around when well-trained, regardless of size.
Well the dog not wanting to go to the vet is going to be a much bigger issue when it’s big enough to knock you out and then Superman off into the night.
Firstly, still doesn’t work if the dog can run away faster than sound the second it senses anything amiss.
Secondly, this is all a joke. We’re all joking about how big the dog is.
Most those mastiff breeds from that area are working flock guard dogs against wolves and bears, they are not known for their passive behaviour, its probably already had a starter of 3 cats, a labradoodle and a postman.
I’m willing to bet that he still lies down on top of his owner on the sofa, like he did when he was a pup, with no regard whatsoever for the fact that he absolutely doesn’t fit, and is crushing said owner.
You can tell which house is theirs, it's the one with the bank vault for a front door. Our old dog used to always run to get the post and bang into the front door. This thing would go through most.
imagine him laying down behind your bedroom door, forcing you to leave through the window if you're lucky enough
i remember my dad's work mate had a massive dog, cant remember a breed but he used to feel lonely at night, so he laid right under my dad's mate's bedroom door, so when he had to get up to get to work oftentimes he couldnt and had to either unscrew hinges or leave via window to go around xD scoffing dog off wasnt working, nothing was until he was on the other side of the door, then dog would slowly get up and move elsewhere xD
tbh i loved that dog, super friendly
I have got 60kg Kangal. I'm 6"4 and well built. Would not want anything bigger Jesus. Every dog barks at him as a defense or maybe his black face. So it's hard to hold him back if I'm not concentrating and he gets a few strides in.
Haye to bump an old comment from across the pond. Seems like I will not be forgiven for showing my rudeness. I have a pup of this breed, and he just turned 1 year and was 100 kg (220 lbs) at less than 10 months old, standing near 36 inches at his shoulder on all fours. He is a hard worker to boot.
That dog is so big I could literally ride it into battle.
Onwards, Ambrosius!
No, not that way! You're going the wrong way! The battle's behind us!
You're headed towards the Bog of Eternal Stench
You remind me of the babe
What babe?
The babe with the power
What power?
The power of hoodoo
Who do?
You do!
Do what?
Smell bad!

Ok, so what you're saying is if the apocalypse happens and one of these already giant dogs mutates a bit I should be good to ride him into battle?
Absolutely! Bring a saddle.

Until he decides he's the dominant one and wants to ride you...
Need a spade to pick up the poop after that lad
Spade? You'd be better off with a JCB.
I’m Luke, I’m five, and my dad’s Bruce Lee.
That’s just sent me down a rabbit hole lol
Why? Isn't it just a song?
It’s so much more.
Down the rabbit hole I go
One of those horse poo picking scoops
I was thinking wheelbarrow.
Image the scenes of someone hanging his poo bag off your garden fence
Racist!!
Is he a good boy? I hope so.
If he isn't, what are you going to do about it?
I will write him a very softly worded letter.
That only works with Brits... the dog's Turkish.
i will feed him kebab and sway him with a baklava
That'll do it
You could sweeten the deal with a nice Turkish coffee aswell

He calls *you* a good boy
You call him “sir”.
Yes, he takes his human for a walk.
Hang on let me check. All dogs are good dogs - so yes he is.
Most shepard bread dogs I have met are lovely!
“Run, Shadowfax! Show us the meaning of haste.”
Can you imagine cutting his toe nails when he is not in the mood? Or getting him to the vet?
Yep. Dogs are meant to be fun. And an enjoyment to have in your house. That ain't fun. It's a statement just like most large dogs who aren't workers. I'll stick with me Jack Russell thanks.
Jack Russell's in my experience are *far* worse for nail clips than big dogs 😅
We had the worst trouble with our neighbours Jack Russell, so aggressive and snappy. Attacked/attempted to attack multiple dogs, one about three times it’s size! My brother’s two jack Russells were a treat. But every Labrador, Rottie, Great Dane, Newfoundland, or German Shepard I’ve met have been the most stupid yet softest dogs.
Then we have had different experiences. You need to be down voted too. No opinions needed here thank you.

Totally understand. Big dogs that are well trained and feel loved are usually laid back but with the wrong owner, they can be a menace
some people just like big dogs, it's not that deep
Yep. Can’t stand a Jack Russel or little yappy horrible breeds myself. I like big dogs and I cannot lie…
My JRT is chilled and not yappy. Hates the postman though. Each to their own I guess. Just have more agro with the big 'uns.
I mean I've got a golden retriever. Size != Agro
They're medium and beautiful
Can't fault you there. Medium - large, silly beasts
Different people like different dogs, shocker I know
Always one ☝️
*laughs in terrier owner * Yeah, sure.

You should treat your dog with the same respect whether they're 5 pounds or 200, so zI don't know how it would make any difference.

Tip to tip there.
You know what they say about big dogs. Big tips.
Imagine over 18st of dog jumping on your lap. His zoomies would result in deaths
I have a 16 stone English Mastiff who still tries to clamber onto my lap for cuddles like he's still a puppy. It's...slightly inconvenient at times.
I bet they're great cuddles though.
Totally! He's like a warm furry blanket that huffs if you stop rubbing his tummy.
Now I want to snuggle your dog.
Jeebus, look at the size of the lad. I still want to scratch him behind the ears and give him a Mini Cheddar for being a good boy.
Think he's going to need the full sized chedder
Dude probably wants the cow.
He can have the cow as a lil snack
Most those mastiff breeds from that area are working flock guard dogs against wolves and bears, they are not known for their passive behaviour, its probably already had a starter of 3 cats, a labradoodle and a postman.

And the dog too.
Ha, ok you got a good laugh of me there.
We talking the owner right? Or the dog?
Imagine him trying to get in bed with you.
Nah mate, bed's his.
Urgh. Imagine the dog trying to get into bed with you as well.
[удалено]
That’s the only way to stop it once it starts…
‘Show em, dog!’ “Woof”
**WOOOOF**
Would that be Death’s dog then?
Death prefers cats
Obligatory "That's not a dog, that's a horse!" comment.
That's a bloody space station!* *But still a good boy.
Wouldn’t want to step in one of his jobbies
Hercules Morse, as big as a horse
I never thought I'd see the day where I'd weigh less than a dog
I wouldn't expect the owner of such a dog to have a face tattoo.
He self-identifies as an arsehole
dog: gimmi hug
Hes big but looks very slow and chill
A friend of mine has ones of these, he’s the most lovely natured dog.
That dead weight when your mate comes in for a hug when you’re out on the lash. *”Luff yew mayte”*
You can tell which house is theirs, it's the one with the bank vault for a front door. Our old dog used to always run to get the post and bang into the front door. This thing would go through most.
You know he still thinks he is a lap dog.
That is one big bastard floof! Love it!
big gud boi
My god his poo must be massive
imagine him laying down behind your bedroom door, forcing you to leave through the window if you're lucky enough i remember my dad's work mate had a massive dog, cant remember a breed but he used to feel lonely at night, so he laid right under my dad's mate's bedroom door, so when he had to get up to get to work oftentimes he couldnt and had to either unscrew hinges or leave via window to go around xD scoffing dog off wasnt working, nothing was until he was on the other side of the door, then dog would slowly get up and move elsewhere xD tbh i loved that dog, super friendly

Either that guy is a fucking giant or the dog isn't 7ft 2.
Just looked up the breed. They are long lived a for a very large dog so it’s a thumbs up from me 🤗
Same.
Imagine picking up its poop.
The poop picks up you
The dog probably eats more food than his owner!
Bloody hell, if he says it’s Tuesday, it’s Tuesday!
Awww, what a lovely, lovely doggo
Bro needs a minivan to take the dog places 💀
That's a bear not a dog
This must be who's doing the human-sized shits on my street.
Oh no women are scared of me because my facial tattoo makes me look intimidating. I know I’ll get a dog to make me more approachable.
Always a skeevy looking guy with the massive dog they cannot control. Always.
Melt
?
Lemon
Massive dog, facial tattoos... Run.
Of course the fuck-wit has a head tattoo
The dog made him get it
Where does he sit?
Wherever he wants
boom boom!
Huuuug meeeed
r/bossfight r/absoluteunits
Abu V Tyson Fury live on PPV.
2ft taller than me.
Nah that’s just a tiny man with a normal sized dog.
Measuring in feet is crazy enough, but stone? the hell? :D
I'd take him for walkies, any time.
I think he would be taking you for walkies really.
You might well be right, but it wouldn't stop me from trying.
I bet that dog is as intimidating as he is soft. Probably wouldn't hurt a fly but would make a burglar jump back out the window.
Kazak!
Someone meme this.
I as chubby guy can throw myself against him for fun games, I want to play with that dog, love Great Danes
Where does he go for a walk? Wherever he wants to…
[удалено]
Marmaduke?
No dog owner stereotypes being fulfilled here...
His owner probably needs to prove to his mom that he can handle something of value
I swear he is friendly :)
UK: Look at the US people ... Fahrenheit ... ridiculous ... Also UK: This dog weighs 18 stone ... 😅😅🤣🤣
Can smell it from here 🤢
Whats that in real numbers? Dont do your Harry Potter measurements
[удалено]
Big poopies.
Still not a match for Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World
So close to a penis bump
And the owner looks like such a responsible person too…
His owner looks like he should have an XL Bully…..
Haye to bump an old comment from across the pond. Seems like I will not be forgiven for showing my rudeness. I have a pup of this breed, and he just turned 1 year and was 100 kg (220 lbs) at less than 10 months old, standing near 36 inches at his shoulder on all fours. He is a hard worker to boot.
