As per breed standards, I believe an Irish wolfhound is the tallest but a Saint bernard is considered the heaviest. On a personal note, the biggest dog I have ever seen and had in my rescue was a Giant malamute; weighing 226 pounds and measuring 35" at the shoulder. This is not uncommon for a giant mal.

The biggest dog (and breed of dog) in terms of mass is the English Mastiff. English Mastiffs are considered the biggest dogs as they are usually the heaviest dogs with weights over 200 lbs. not uncommon.
Giant Dog Reference:
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

height wise the Irish Wolf Hound is the biggest breed, they can be as tall as a full grown man when standing on 2 legs, if not taller
they are taller than Great Danes even....weight wise Im not sure though, Wolf Hounds are kinda heavy but Im sure not the heaviest

I don't know the breed exactly. But this dog takes a crap on my front lawn everyday. He buried my truck once! This is all I could get of him. And this is with a wide-angle lens! Maybe somebody here can identify him? http://www.stevecarter.com/d2x-dogs-nose.jpg
