Boomer vies for biggest dog title

(Boomer, a 180-pound Landseer Newfoundland dog, stands with owner Caryn Weber at her home south of Casselton, N.D Photo: AP )

Measuring 3ft tall (1 metre) at the shoulders and 7ft (2.1m) long from nose to destructive wagging tail, he might be the world's tallest living dog.

Caryn Weber says her three-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen tap in her family's farmhouse in North Dakota.

Boomer can stare into a car window eye to eye with a driver.

A 20lb (9kg) bag of dry dog food lasts the 180lb (81kg) canine 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.

She plans to send Boomer's measurements to Guinness World Records.

"We started the process and we said we're just going to make sure we go through all the way. Whether we get in, whether we don't, it's been a fun process," she said.

The previous record holder was a nearly 4ft (1.2m) tall Great Dane which died this summer.
