Canine Wolf Vs Dog Breed?

Question

Ok i know theres allot of breeds, like english mastiff, bullmastiff, dogo argentino, american bulldog and allot more that can kill a wolf, but now, which dog is taller. I think wolfs are no bigger then german shepherds, right? German shepherds stand 24 - 26 inches and weigt 75 - 140 pounds. But now i know for sure english mastiffs, irish wolfhounds, and great danes have to be taller, please let me know if im right. I know that the tallest is irish wolfhound then borzoi and another breed then great dane then english mastiffs, i also know that 60 % of english mastiffs get bigger then danes height whise, and ALWAYS weight whise, cuz there the heaviest dog breed, but thats besides the point. HOW TALL DOES A MATURE GREY WOLF GET?

Yeah i study dogs all the time. The irish wolfhound actually made a wolf species go Extinct.

The wolfs would be dead for sure. Actually proven fact, they used to do this with these dogs. An american bulldog vs a wolf, the wolf loses. An english mastiff vs a wolf, the wolf loses. A bullmastiff vs a wolf, the wolf loses. An irish wolfhound the wolf loses, saint berenard wins vs wolfs. And a dogo can deffinetly do it, they were bred to hunt pumas and jaguars. Also irish wolfhounds were bred to kill wolfs, actually they made a wolf species go extinct. And i know breeds, are dogs, and wolfs are canines.
And actually they used to pit humans and tigers and bears and even lions vs english mastiffs, and bullmastiffs, and bulldogs, and many other breeds, guess who won, the dog. All records state the dogs Always won/\

Lets not talk about animal on animal though, becuase it doesnt matter, its cruell and evil.

Answer 1

I had 2 grey wolves, they both stood 6ft on their hind legs. Two of the best animals i ever had. Why did you put in here, that can kill a wolf. Wolves are natural hunters, so who would be killed? Wolves are not dogs, dogs came from the wolf.

Answer 2

The person b4 me is wrong. I have a 125 pound dogo argentino male. And we live in crystal River florida. Theres allot of timber wolfs. And well one day i was walking him ( King ) And a grey wolf was like 65 feet away from me, Back in a field. And King barked and then kept walking. The Very next day i let him in the back yard, left home, came back, there was two dead wolfs torn apart. SOOOO then my dogo took them on 1-on-2. AND i know for a fact, that many breeds, have balls, againts wolfs. English mastiffs, neo mastiffs, dogo argentinos, rottweilers, american bulldogs, bullmastiffs, great danes, saint bernards, irish wolfhounds have all hunted and killed wolfs. American bulldogs, rottweilers, boxers, english mastiff, bullmastiff, and many others, have been pitted againts humans, dogs, wolfs, lions, tigers, angry bulls, bears, and many other large agressive dangerous animals, and all the records state the dog NEVER lost. And also like someone else said, the irish wolfhound made a wolf species go extinct. And the irish wolfhound isnt even a good guard because they dont wanna be, there ok watch dogs though. How about you do some research, on yahoo, or google, or anybody that knows a thing or two about dogs.

Answer 3

Ok, I have been doing some research of my own, the grey wolf is bigger than a normal German Shepherd. They are 26-32 inches at the shoulders in height where as the German Shepherd is 24-26 inches. The Grey wolf is 4.5-6.5 in feet from tip of nose to the tip of the tale and weights in at anywhere from 55lbs to 130lbs. German Shepherds are about the same in length but usually stay under 100lbs. In fact the grey wolf is the second heaviest of the wolves next to the artic wolf. The artic wolf male can get up to 175lbs.

As for the other breeds you mentioned, the Irish wolf hound stands 28-35 inches at the shoulder at weights between 90-150lbs. Mastiffs, or English Mastiffs males, stand 30 inches and weight up to 160lbs, where bullmastiffs stand 25-27 inches and weight between 110-130lbs and the Neapolitan Mastiff stands 26-30 inches and can weight up to 200lbs. Great Danes are 30-34 inches and can weight up to 200lbs. And Bozois are only 28 inches and weight around 100lbs. So it would appear that mastiffs are not large, weight wise or height wise than Great Danes. Where as an Irsih Wolf hound may be an inch taller than a Dane, it is not has heavy. I hope this information has helped you.

Answer 4

Actually i breed own and sometimes show bullmastiffs, english mastiffs, dogo argentinos, american bulldogs, boxers, border collies, and rottweilers. He was right english mastiffs weigh 170 - 250 pounds. Bullmastiffs, get 24 - 29 inches BUT 27 inches is prefferd. English mastiffs, are the heaviest dog breed. With saint bernards in second place, weighing up to 220 pounds, and tibetan mastiffs, the same, but genarly get 180 pounds. English mastiffs, do infact get 28 - 36 inches, and great danes 30 - 35 inches and 32 preferred. And 100 - 200 pounds, BUT genarly get 120 - 160. Irish wolfhounds can get as tall as 37 inches with 30 - 36 inches preferd. I think you should find better research tools, cuz i breed and show all these dogs, and he was exactly right, sorry. http://abcpets.com/dogsnew.html

Answer 5

Hello! I thought this question on Yahoo! Answers might be interesting to you.
The wolf grows up to 90cm high and 120 long.
I strongly disagree that a dog(any size dog)can kill a fully grown wolf.
Believe me i know what i am talking about.
I have seen those wolves with my own eyes(life).
I have had a farm in my country(the wolves came to eat my sheep).
One more thing,not many dogs have the bolls to even attack the wolf.

Answer 6

Wolf height depends on where it is from, different packs can have different height and builds . some a bit shorter muzzled some longer legged , it is all the genetics of individual pack , , wolves here are only about 24 inches at the shoulder , I think the average is between 23 to 27 inches at the shoulder .

Answer 7

The height of the wolf depends on genetics of it's pack, environment, and breed of wolf.

I know the wolves here in Alaska are often tall, lanky, and gangly, but I have seen pictures of short stocky wolves.

Answer 8

26 - 32 inches at the shoulder, 55 -115 lbs.

Answer 9
