Though all the Mastiffs can boast a huge weight, English Mastiffs are leading. This breed is considered the heaviest dog known today. This fact is reflected in the Guinness Book of World Records. An English Mastiff weighing about 286 pounds became famous thanks to its outstanding size.
The Neapolitan Mastiff standard states that a dog should weigh about 110-150 pounds depending on the sex. However, this breed does not seem to be willing to get behind English Mastiffs. Larger dogs appear to be more awesome, which is highly valued by those wanting to have guard dogs in their homes. This feature is rather influential in the process of breeding. In fact, many breeders and owners prefer having Neapolitan Mastiffs that are over 150 pounds. Thus, they appear to be much larger than in the standard.As for Dogue de Bordeaux, there is no significant weight difference in males and females. The Dogue de Bordeaux weighs usually 120-145 pounds.
