Great Dane Dog
The Great Dane is a giant of a dog
with a patient and gentle personality. The Great Dane is
a sweet
natured dog breed that makes great family pet. Attentive
and devoted to their owners, the Great Dane dog is a
breed that is best
suited to those with some experience of dog ownership,
as they can be stubborn and bossy. Early and extensive
socialization is also important to promote a stable,
confident manner. The Great Dane dog is a bold, spirited
breed, and his size alone means that he makes an
effective watchdog. The Great Dane dogs do need plenty of
attention and devotion from their owners, and are not
suited to those with little time to commit to a pet.
Training should be consistent and firm, yet positive.
The house proud may want to think twice before
considering this dog breed, as they can be very messy and do
drool.
The Great Dane dog is both regal and
strong in appearance. The Great Dane dog breed has a big muscular body, a
square muzzle and a tapering tail, which is usually
carried straight down. The Great Dane dogs ears naturally hang beside
the head unless they are cropped, in which case they
appear erect and pointed. Its size does not affect its
general conformation that is so well balanced that it is
able to move with a long reach and powerful drive and
never clumsy. The Great Dane dogs short, glossy coat that covers its
well developed body, its finely chiseled head and a firm
neck that is set high and well arched combines to
produce the distinctive majestic elegance associated
with the Great Dane dog. Its ancestry is uncertain but is
generally believed to be a cross between the English
Mastiff dog and the Irish (Wolfhound) dog. The Great
Dane dog was bred in Germany
and not in Denmark as it name suggests. It is known as
the “Apollo of All Dogs” and the “Gentle Giant dog”.
