I had a Dane 4 " shorter that weighed in at 237#. All black untrimmed like Zeus. Gorgeous. Too big to be nervous. Great personalities.

How much does Zeus weigh? (Googles) A little more than 150 pounds. Pretty light for that height.

When your “turf” is really carpet, you can have it any color you want. I know that real grass is a pain (and expensive) to keep up but I’m glad we didn’t have to play on carpet when I was in school.

7’ 4" is a fantasy! Any quadruped’s height is measured from ground to (shoulders, withers, whatever). Length of back or hind legs is not included.
