His owner has even considered entering the super size pooch into the Guinness World Records. A FRENCH bulldog owner whose pooch weighs as much as a deer has hit back at people who stop her in the street to call her dog too fat. Danielle is the proud owner of 26kg Frankie the Frenchie, her five-year-old canine that constantly turns heads in the street.

She says she can’t walk anywhere with Frankie without her being stopped in the street by people who call the dog too fat, despite her not overfeeding him. Danielle said: “I get asked what I feed him; I don’t overfeed him, he’s just on dried food, no special diet or anything like that.”.

Danielle reckons the dog could be a record-breaker as it weighs in at more than any other known large French bulldog globally, she told Manchester Evening News. Frankie has been described as “unnaturally big” and weighs as much as a small adult deer.

Danielle, who lives with Frankie in Eccles, Greater Manchester, says the dog has always been large, even from when he was just a few months old. She described him as “very long” and as having big paws in his youth, before he began to grow even larger and attract attention for his unusual size.
Danielle, who works in training and recruitment in the travel industry, now believes Frankie may be the world’s largest French bulldog, outranking another supersized pooch from Australia. Diaz, otherwise known as Daddy Diaz, weighs 22kg and lays claim to being the largest French bulldog in Australia, but had been hoping to gain the global title.
