If There Are Big Cats, Why Are There No Big Dogs?
There are many remarkable, gigantic dogs in the world. But all these mega-breed giant dogs are breeds. Hence, created by man, from a much smaller, naturally existing canine species. And they are all of the same species. The Big Cats are all of their individual species and created by evolution. They gained their size to be the most successful predators possible in their hunting style to survive. There are no natural canines that fit that description, to the same extent that the Big Cats do.

I've always considered Bear's to be the alternative to Giant Dog's.

Fun Fact: Canids used to have retractable claws and more powerful forelimbs, certainly nowhere near felines but it’s still impressive. Canids eventually lost those traits because the change in strategy.

I think it’s because canines evolved to work together meaning that they didn’t have to be very large. A smaller animal requires less resources. Aside from Lions, most big cats are solitary meaning they have to be bigger to survive.

I seen a Timberwolf once that was easily twice the size of a standard German shepherd. 25-30 yards away, got a real good look, we stared at each other for probably 10 seconds before it walked into the brush and out of view. Big animal but still no match for the big cats.

The dingo has a relative that "sings" and no one thought to call it the singo?

Big cats are solitary so they need size to survive. Dogs run in packs so they are smaller. The perfect example of a dog like carnivore that is solitary is the bear, some of which, are bigger than any big cat.

TL;DR Dogs = big stamina. Cats = big damage.

The limbs part also kinda explains the difference between domestic cats and dogs. Notice when your pet cat attacks something, it uses its paws to strike first before biting. Meanwhile, your pet dog goes straight for the bite

I don't think people GET how big some wolf species really are.

The "bone crushing dogs," called Borophaginae as a group did adopt a more solitary and ambush hunting lifestyle that helped them grow larger than what most modern dogs, which evolved from a different group, referred to as Caninae... or the "true dogs." But what's believed to have happened was that as cats began to evolve and spread out of where they first evolved and began to turn to that ambush predator niche, they actually proved to be BETTER at it than the Borophaginae were. Thus, in time, cats actually outcompeted the dogs that had evolved to be ambush hunters in the art of ambushing prey, leading to the Borophaginae being driven to extinction by the Pliocene.

I remember walking through the big cat exhibit at the Chicago zoo and wondering how a dog that likes chasing cats would act in the presence of lions, tigers, leopards and such. Would it run up to the cages or be looking for the exit?
