ND woman’s 7-foot-long dog could be record holder
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and fun fact lovers! Wow, this is a morning for the bizarre and unusual!!!
Photo credit: AP | In this Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2009 photo, Boomer, a 180-pound Landseer Newfoundland dog, drinks water from the kitchen sink at Caryn Weber’s home south of Casselton, N.D.
Start of article:
Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, his owner thinks she may have the world’s tallest living dog.
Caryn Weber says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family’s farm house in eastern North Dakota.
Boomer can stare into a car window eye to eye with a driver. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts a couple of weeks.
Weber says the fluffy black and white dog “comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around.”
Weber plans to send Boomer’s measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a nearly 4-foot-tall Great Dane that died this summer.

Well, well, well, I know a certain someone named Romeo that might just be in the running when he is full grown??? Let’s just wait and see, shall we?
More tall dog stories later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

That is wild!
That dog looks like a black bear!
I saw that story earlier today. A Newf is another one of those breeds I have always wanted. Boomer is especially large though! I was thinking how much less mess there would be on our floor though if Nell and Sophie would learn to drink out of the faucet! Between their ears and lips, it seems like most of the water gets dripped all over the floor!
It does seem odd that there isn’t a Mastiff out there somewhere that is bigger than Boomer.
