Everything I've read tells me that the English Mastiff is the largest dog breed in the world. The ones I've seen are bigger than the one or two St Bernards I've seen. We're talking a 300 pound dog here!
Autchully the English mastiff weighs about 290 for males they can but the minimum is about 267 pounds The st.benard wouldn't fight the English mastiff because the St.benard has to be in a cold cliement but if they didnt the mastiff would win because it outweighs it and it is the biggest house-outside dog in the world other than the codiac or bear or black bear or anything else the English mastiff and stbenard are biger than even the Hyeana.
They are so similar to one another that if you bred them together the puppies would look like purebred mastiffs (as the color and coat are dominant in the mastiff). The behavior would be indistinguishable, as well. These are very, very similar breeds in temperament and intelligence, so you can just pick the one you like best for color, coat, or proximity of a good breeder. If you want a long haired dog, you need to go with the Saint.

It is officially named Saint Bernard, though there are alternative names, including St. Barnhardshund, Alpine Mastiff, and Bernhardiner.
If by bigger you mean larger then no. A fully grown male St Bernard can clock in at over 250 pounds while a Great Dane rarely exceeds 200 pounds. Although in terms of height, the Great Dane wins at an impressive 30 inches for males, 28 inches for females. Although both these dogs are huge, neither of them are technically the tallest or largest breeds on average. The tallest recognized breed is the Irish Wolfhound typically within the range of 30-34 inches tall (almost 3 feet tall at the withers). Then there's the largest dog breed, the English Mastiff. Males being a minimum of 150 pounds though it is not rare for them to hit 250, with a recognized record holder who reached an astonishing 343 pounds.Danes are taller, but st Bernhards are heavier.
Cujo was supposed to have been a Saint Bernard. In reality though, the Saint Bernard breed is usually extremely gentle, friendly and very tolerant of children. They're slow moving, patient, obedient, extremely loyal, eager and willing to please. **In response to your answer, Cujo was all those things before he got bitten by a bat and became rabid.

aprox. 400-500 pounds. The English Mastiff holds the record of the strongest bite force (500 pounds) for dogs. They measure bite force from the size of their head and English Mastiffs and Saint Bernards have just about the same size head, therefore they basically have the same bite force.
Beethoven and his family are St. Bernard. The breed is considered a mastiff type. Generally friendly and kind natured. They were originally used by monks to rescue mountain climbers. They come in long haired or shorthaired.Do you mean the breed of dog in Beethoven the disney movie? Thats a Saint Bernard.
I may say that the "English Mastiff" is the only domesticated dog that's bigger than a "Rottweiler". I am pretty sure that if the Rottweiler and the English Mastiff fought, of course the English Mastiff will win because English Mastiff's are heavy and if the English Mastiff fought the Rottweiler, I am sure that the English Mastiff with squish the Rottweiler to death.
English MastiffThe current record holder is a Saint Bernard however it is so closely followed by the Newfoundlander and Bull Massif that it doesn't really make sense to make a firm distinction.
In the movie Beethoven a Saint Bernard stared in the movie actually three Saint Bernard's stared as Beethoven.
The breed of Dog in the movie ''Beethoven'' is a purebred Saint Bernard.
I don't know, but to give you some idea, our St. Bernard is about 7 mo old, and weighs around 100 # already.
