12. Irish Wolfhound: weight: 105-125 lbs. height: 35-35 in. Great Danes: weight: 100-120 lbs. height: 28-32 in. English Mastiff: weight: 175-190 lbs. height: 27.5-30 in. Neopolitan Mastiff: weight: 150-180 lbs. height: 26-31 in. Newfoundland: weight: 130-150 lbs. height 28-30 in. Saint Bernard: weight: 150-200 lbs. height: 27-30 in. * Height is measured at the shoulder
13. I found this list: Mastiff Great Dane Akita Inu Great Pyrenees Newfoundland Saint Bernard and the Rottweiler This is not from largest to smallest, nor does it include the many variety of mixes of any of these breeds that would also produce very large canines.

15. Great Danes and Irish Wolf Hounds are just about the tallest, but the biggest dog breed in terms of mass is the English Mastiff, followed by the Neopolitan Mastiff, Tibetan Mastiff, Newfoundland and Saint Bernard. Irish Wolfhound: weight: 105-125 lbs. height: 35-35 in. Great Danes: weight: 100-120 lbs. height: 28-32 in. English Mastiff: weight: 175-190 lbs. height: 27.5-30 in. Neopolitan Mastiff: weight: 150-180 lbs. height: 26-31 in. Newfoundland: weight: 130-150 lbs. height 28-30 in. Saint Bernard: weight: 150-200 lbs. height: 27-30 in. Anatolian Shepherds, Swiss Mountain Dogs and Caucasian Mountain Dogs are also pretty huge, with the males all coming in at easily more than 100lbs.
