While the Irish Wolfhound and the Great Dane typically are a bit taller, the English Mastiff -- nicknamed the gentle giant -- and the Saint Bernard are generally considered the heaviest breeds. The Mastiff generally comes in at about 180 pounds for grown dogs, but some experts say that they can be as heavy as 220 pounds. In comparison, Saint Bernard males can be 184 pounds or even more.
The largest Irish Wolfhounds weigh in at about 120 pounds, while the Great Dane male is said by some experts to weigh from 120 to 200 pounds. Mastiff males are about 30 inches in height compared to 32 inches for the Wolfhound. The Saint Bernard male is expected to be at least 27.5 inches.
The Irish Wolfhound is considered the world’s tallest breed of dog, based on its official breed standard. A male should be at least 32 to 34 inches tall, according to the breed standard, while a female should be at least 30 inches tall.
The Chihuahua is considered the smallest breed. They should not weigh more than 6 pounds, and they range from 6 to 9 inches tall. You can learn about the smooth-coated and long-coated varieties in the AKC profile.
The individual smallest dog in the Guinness Book of Records in 2004 is a long-haired Chihuahua named Danka.

The smallest breed is the Chihuahua although I had a neighbor years ago who had a 1 pound Toy Poodle it was a runt and about the size of a rat;however, as far as breed standard it's the Chihuahua.
The largest breed is the Irish Wolfhound by standard.Although there is a Great Dane that is right now actually the largest dog in the world. But again by standard it's the Irish Wolfhound
Another thing you also have ot watch these people who like to over feed. I was at a fun "dog show" where they had different cata gories like look alike, the waggiest tale, and the largest dog. I at teh time had a 8 month old Great Dane that weighed 95 pound, teh person that won had a 125 pound yellow lab. teh dog was at least a good 65 pounds overweight and had to be wheeled in on a wagon as it';s legs couldn't support it's weight. I unfortunatley heard the dog died about a year later form a heart attck and it was only 3 years ol. Gee I wonder what gave such a young dog to have a heart attack??

Chihuahua is the smallest. The Irish Wolfhound is the tallest. The Saint Bernard is known to be the heaviest. But the heaviest dog I have ever met is an English Mastiff, he weighed over 200 pounds. So I would have to say it is between the two, depending on each individual dog.

The biggest dog breed I know of is the English Mastiff.
The smallest dog breed, I am pretty sure its the Chihuahua. Not including those so called 'teacup' breeds, they are just poorly bred to make them unhealthily small and 'cute'
=D
I hope it was the answer you were looking for!

Any of the toy breeds are the smallest.
Biggest, I'd have to say Neo Mastiff, or St Bernard.
