The great dane is the second biggest dog in the world
Yes and no. Yes, because on average, the Irish Wolfhound is taller than the Great Dane with male Irish Wolfhounds typically averaging around 32-34 inches tall and Male Great Danes averaging probably around 30-32 inches tall. Meaning if you go find an ordinary Irish Wolfhound, and then go find an ordinary Great Dane, most likely the Irish Wolfhound will be taller. Although, Great Danes tend to greatly exceed their average height while Irish Wolfhounds do not, with basically all of the tallest dog in the world contenders being Great Danes, the tallest the dog in the world being a 44 inch tall Great Dane named "Zeus" recognized by the Guinness World Records after the death of a 43 inch tall dog nicknamed "Giant George", who was also a Great Dane.
