The term Gentle Giant was originally applied to those breeds of dog who were greater than 30" at their withers AND had gentle instinct. That being said it included the Saint Bernard, Newfoundland (who is shorter than 30" on average these days), Great Dane, (Old English) Mastiff, Great Pyrenees. The term was not meant to include the breeds of dog who can be greater than 30 inches at their withers, but who are not on average specifically gentle. So even though a Fila Brasileiro can be gentle, that breed is not considered to be a gentle breed. Neither is an Akbash dog specifically gentle, nor a Tibetan Mastiff, and certainly not a Rottweiller. Again, these dogs can certainly be gentle, but their breeds are not "Gentle Giant" breeds.
