Frankie the Frenchie is causing quite a stir. His owner, Danielle Myers, can't take him for a stroll without being stopped by admirers. The five year old French bulldog tips the scales at an impressive 26kg, turning heads wherever he goes. Danielle believes Frankie might just set a world record as the heaviest large French bulldog known worldwide.
Living in Eccles with Danielle, Frankie weighs as much as a small adult deer and is considered "unnaturally big". At just a few months old, Danielle noticed his "very long" body and oversized paws, and since then, he's only grown larger.

The massive mutt's size has made him a local celebrity, and Danielle, who works in training and recruitment for the travel industry, is convinced that Frankie could snatch the title of the world's biggest Frenchie from an Australian contender. Diaz, also known as Daddy Diaz, currently holds the heavyweight title in Australia at 22kg and has aspirations to be recognized globally. His owner, Aden Bedot from Sydney, knew Diaz was destined to be a 'big boy' from six months of age, reports the Manchester Evening News.
At his last check-up, Diaz weighed more than double the average for his breed, which typically sees males at 20 to 28 pounds and females at 16 to 24 pounds, standing about 11 to 12 inches tall. Weighing in at a whopping 26kg, Danielle believes her dog Frankie might just snatch the title for the world's biggest French bulldog, considering a Guinness World Records bid. Speaking with the Manchester Evening News, she remarked, "He's always been big; as a puppy, he was very long with big paws," adding, "I never thought much of it.".
