concept of force is very concerning.What criteria do we measure it?By weight, that dog could lift or drag?In relation to the weight of the load lifted his own body?By number of battles won in the ring?If we look in the Guinness Book of Records, the title of "the strongest dog in the world" belonged to-male St. Bernard Writes Brandi Bear.He lived in the seventies of the last century in the United States, in Washington state, and set an official record (for which he was listed in the Guinness Book) when 90 seconds dragged on the concrete pavement in the truck with a load of 2905 kilograms per 4.57 meters.
Writes This feat is not surprising when you consider where and why this breed was bred.Prior to the construction of tunnels under the Alps, Italy, linked to the rest of Europe only a few passes.The most popular of these was the St. Bernard Pass.As it moved the main stream of pilgrims on their way to Rome.Caravans of traders and travelers move on foot all year round, because the road rises above sea level to a height of two and a half thousand meters.Fog, unexpected blizzards, colliding even in summer, avalanches made this a very dangerous path.In 962, the pass was built shelter where Bernardine monks provided hospitality to travelers.When the breed was bred "St. Bernard Dog" - no one knows, but the fact that this is the strongest dog - no doubt.
in the Alpine valleys are still legends about St. Bernard, who lived in different years and even centuries, are torn from the thickness of snow and brought to the shelter came under an avalanche of people.And as the mountains in the winter walk is not little children, you can imagine the power of this animal, able to pull out of dam and smuggle considerable distance adult male.This is the strongest dog has a very thoughtful and quiet nature.She is smart, though, and phlegmatic.Bernard became the hero of the movie "Beethoven", where the character of these dogs revealed most vividly.
Guinness mentions one more record holder - Alexis Barbara Dark Hans.This bitch Newfoundland - the strongest dog in the world in relation to its own weight.In 1979, the 44-kilogram Barbara dragged a cart with a load of 2289 kg.Newfoundland (we call them more "divers") were bred in the eponymous province in Canada as service dogs.Externally, they resemble St. Bernard - a massive, hairy, slobbering, with drooping ears.However, this breed there are a variety of colors, but most of all - black and chocolate.
A very strong dog, canine wins the battle - tosa or Japanese Mastiff.Also, a fair means of different other mastiffs - Naples, Iberian (shepherd dog Patou), Tibetan (like a lion because of its "mane"), Spanish.The name of the breed Irish Wolfhound speaks for itself about the ferocity of its representatives.Also menacing Caucasian Shepherd Boerboels and Turkish Kangal.
However, the strongest dog - not the most dangerous.Newfoundlands, St. Bernards and Leonberger generally can not cause harm to humans.Friendliness of these animals, even though they are the size of a closet, knows no bounds: even cats have nothing to fear these giants.And the biggest dog in the world - English Mastiff (male Zorbro set a record - 156 kg weight and height of 96 cm at the withers) - has also established itself as a gentle and loving family member.
