Freddy the Great Dane Is Named the World’s Tallest Male Dog by Guinness World Records

On December 19, 2016, Freddy the Great Dane was allowed to inform the world that Guinness World Records named him as the “Tallest Dog Living – Male“, a record previously held by the late Zeus. We had written about Freddy in 2014, noting that he was definitely a contender. Congratulations Freddie!

The tallest dog living is ‘Freddy’, owned by Claire Stoneman (UK), who was 1.035 m (3 ft 4.75 in) tall when measured in Leigh-on-Sea, UK, on 13 September 2016.
