Basically I’m asking what’s the largest dog breed on average and what is the biggest dog.
Great Dane’s are usually the biggest breed. However, the biggest dog of all time was a mastiff named Hercules who weighed almost 300 pounds.

The biggest dog breed for weight has to be the St.Bernard, however, they are not the tallest. I would think that goes to the Irish Wolfhound although this is from the top of my head and not researched.

Hercules is grossly overweight for his breed and should be listed as the worlds fattest dog!

Big how? In height or weight?
The tallest dog breed on average is the Irish Wolfhound.
BUT, the official world record is held by a Great Dane called "Giant George". He is 43 inches tall, from his feet to his shoulders (beating out Gibson’s record of 42.2", who was also a Great Dane).
The heaviest dog breed on average is the Mastiff.
The official world record is also held by a Mastiff called "Zorba" who weighed in at 343 lbs.
