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.
