English Mastiff
According to the American Kennel Club, the largest breed of dog is the English Mastiff (also known as the Old English Mastiff). Mastiffs are the heaviest dog, but not the tallest. The tallest is the Irish Wolfhound. The tallest Wolfhound was a recorded 5 foot high at its shoulders.

The Neapolitan Mastiff is the heaviest, weighing in excess of 165 lbs. The largest being over 200 lbs. Bull Mastiffs rarely weigh more than 130 lbs. Some may be taller or have longer legs, but in my opinion this is the largest.

The muscle density of an Irish wolfhound is nowhere near that of the Mastiff; however they are the tallest.

The irish wolfhound is considered the largest dog. I don't believe however that they are the heaviest.
