It depends on the strength of the owner. If the owner can't lift and carry it, it's a big dog. I was able to carry my 80lb lab even when he was younger and pushed 100lbs. Now that I'm older, I can't do that anymore. Anything bigger than my 45lb basset is a big dog. And when my basset gets too heavy, my definition of "big dog" will change.

Add if you can't lift and carry it to the list, and we've got a good definition of a big dog!

Well, then I have to put Artie into the "big" category now. He's only 38 pounds and I can't lift him. He's awkward and squirmy... and I only weigh 94 pounds myself.

I have a 108 pound weimaraner. He's not fat, but he's a big friggin dog. The vet said if he was perfect weight he'd be around 95 pounds (but he's old so we let him get away with it).

I consider 60+ to be large.
