Gibson, a Great Dane certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's Tallest Dog died August 7, 2009 after a battle against bone cancer. This 7-year old Great Dane from Grass Valley measured 7 feet, 1 inch when standing on its hinds legs. Gibson had appeared on "The Tonight Show," "The Oprah Show" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and on Japanese television in 2006 after being named the world's tallest dog.
Now, the record for the World's Tallest Living Dog is up for grabs. Boomer, a 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland dog breed from North Dakota measures 36 inches at the shoulders, 7 feet from nose to tail, and weighs 180 pounds. His owner, Caryn Weber says she will be sending Boomer's stats to the Guinness World Records to be considered for the title of world's tallest living dog.
