What's the largest a canine could realistically get?

Giant dogs aren't uncommon in works of fantasy. Sif from Dark Souls comes to mind.

What I want to know is: what's the largest a canine could realistically get, what differences would they need compared to regular dogs in order to function, and what evolutionary pressures would lead a group of canids to evolve to such large sizes?
