Large Dog Breeds - Pup Near You

Large dog breeds are admired for their strength, loyalty, and protective nature. They often make excellent guardians, working dogs, and family companions. While their size can be impressive, many large breeds are gentle giants at heart, known for their calm and affectionate personalities. However, because of their strength and energy, they require consistent training, socialization, and plenty of space to thrive.

Generally, large dog breeds weigh between 55 to 100 pounds (25 to 45 kg) and stand about 22 to 27 inches (56 to 69 cm) tall at the shoulder. Their size makes them well-suited for active families, rural living, or households with ample outdoor space. Large breeds often excel in roles such as guarding, herding, or serving as loyal companions for experienced owners.
