[国际新闻] 英国头号猛犬有点吓人 站起来近2米高

猎犬能长到多高多重?英国3岁大猎犬参孙给出了答案。这只猎犬高约1.27米,体重125公斤,个头和小马相差无几,被认为是英国狗中的头号巨无霸。因为年龄尚小,它的身高体重还会继续增长,但遗憾的是,即便参孙将来体重打破了目前“世界第一大狗”140公斤的体重纪录,它也无法被载入吉尼斯纪录。由于担心主人为破纪录逼宠物暴饮暴食,不久前吉尼斯组织已经取消了该纪录条目。

  参孙被认为是英国目前最大的狗。但是考虑到现在它年龄还小,体型将继续增大,它还将不断刷新纪录。

  据女主人朱莉介绍,她和丈夫2年前通过英国防止虐待动物协会收养了参孙。当时,参孙只有6个月大,但后腿直立起来已有1.5米高,体重超过110公斤,比同龄小狗都大。协会的工作人员说,他们从未见过这么大的狗。  % |6 S: o& d; y2 w% G

  收养参孙并非易事。伍兹夫妇每个月要花60英镑为参孙购买狗粮和火鸡腿等食物。同时,伍兹夫妇每天遛狗的总长度约9.7公里。

If there's a bigger dog in Britain, then Samson's owners Ray and Julie Woods wouldn't want to meet it on a dark night. But despite his huge bulk, they are happy for him to play with their eight-year-old, 4ft 3in grandson Josh, pictured right. "Samson is so gentle and wouldn't harm a fly," said Mrs Woods, 54, from Boston, Lincolnshire. The couple spend £60 a month on dried dog food and Samson gets through two large bowls a day, with the odd turkey leg for a treat.csuchen.de8 O  [( h  ]9 l

Mr Woods, 65, said other dogs keep a safe distance when they spot Samson straining on the leash during their daily eight-mile walks. The couple found Samson at an RSPCA centre when he was six months old. His parents belonged to the same owner and were not meant to mate but managed to produce a litter of 11, of which Samson was by far the biggest. Guinness World Records has scrapped its entry for heaviest dog because owners were overfeeding pets.
