Not that I am complaining, but since 2004, there have been two Great
Danes that have been crowned the tallest dogs in the world. So at
least for the last 7 years, the answer of Great Dane should get some
credit, whether or not it's 1/2, or full credit.

That's not what I had intended but since it is a reasonable interpretation
of the question I'll accept Great Dane.
