Overview: | The Great Dane is a huge dog with a sweet and gentle nature. He needs a lot of space for exercise, though he can be very calm and well-behaved indoors. |
Breed Group: | Working |
Weight (lbs): | 100-120 |
Height (in): | male: 30-32, female: 28-30 |
Colors: | Brindle, black-masked fawn, blue, black, harlequin (white with irregular black patches). Mantle (black and white) |
Coat: | Hair is short and smooth. |
Character: | Great Danes are affectionate, calm, loyal, and intelligent. Although they do not bark very much, they make great watch dogs. |
Temperament: | This breed gets along well with children, other dogs, and most household pets. They are usually wary around strangers, but are good with welcomed visitors. |
Care: | The Great Dane should be grooming with a rubber brush during periods of shedding. |
Training: | This breed grows quite large, so for an early lesson he should be trained not to pull on the leash. He's quite eager to please, so a proper approach should provide great results. |
Activity: | The Great Dane needs a lot of exercise, including being able to run freely off the leash in open countryside. |
Country of Origin: | Germany |
Health Issue: | The breed is prone to hip dysplasia, bloat, tumors, heart disease, and tail injuries. |
