Big Dog Breeds

On this page you will see twelve black and white drawings of Big Dog Breeds. Included are sketches of a Bull Mastiff, a Newfoundland, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and several more. They were drawn by Felice Worden in 1945 for The Sketch Book of Dogs. Big dog breeds are generally defined as weighing 50 to 90+ pounds and standing 22 inches or taller at the shoulder. Typically bred for labor, herding, or guarding, they feature sturdy frames, deep chests, and powerful builds, often paired with loyal and gentle temperaments. You can find more Big Dog Breeds on the pages with images of Large Dogs and Hounds. Enjoy!
