Question
I'm looking to purchase a large breed dog(puppy), the bigger the better, and am just curious as to how big a female Great Dane can get? Also, if you know where I can find a large female, I have searched ad's, but cant find any that are over 130 lbs. I appreciate your time, Thank-you!

Answer
There's three builds of large breed dogs,tall and leggy,like a great dane,wolfhound or greyhound,of about equal height to length,like Akitas,Alaskan Malamutes&rottweilers,and dogs that are shorter and stalkier,like French Mastiffs,Saint Bernards&Cane Corsos

130 pounds is about the heaviest female Great Dane you can get,not to say they aren't around,but the average is closer to around 115-probably the best way is to find a breeder that breeds 'European style' great Danes,as they tend to be a bit heavier.And the best way to find breeders is find out about any dog shows around your area,and talk to several and also talking to dog show judges,as they may know of many breeders,as they see a number of them
