Great Dane Dog Breed Information
The Great Dane is the largest dog breed that combines in its regal appearance dignity, strength and elegance with grand size and a well-formed body. It is one of the largest working breeds, it never appears clumsy. The Great Dane was originally bred to hunt deer and wild boar. Great Danes are generally well-disposed toward other dogs, other non-canine pets and humans.
Great Dane dogs are also called charming giants, dog king, or the god of
beauty in the canine world. And it is true. Great Danes are really
gorgeous, strong, perfectly built dogs. These giants are also called
the largest apartment doggies.
Great Dane Dog Breed Origin
Great Dane in fact has nothing to do with Denmark.
Great Dane's ancestor is The Old German Mastiff. The resembling dog
breed was bred by Asian tribes in V century. There are also
testimonials of alike dogs existing in ancient Rome, Egypt, and even
China. The modern Great Dane dog breed is bred in Germany 400 years
ago.
Great Dane is originally bred as a hound dog for large prey and as a guard
dog. Great Dane is a mix of Mastiff and a Hound. People forget
often, that the calm Great Dane temperament hides a powerful guard
dog. In medieval times this dog considered to guard from evil
spirits.
Great Dane Temperament
In the recent times this dog have lost its aggression, that have
been so important for Great Danes as hounds. But nowadays the
function of Great Dane is just as a good companion and a family dog.
And it really is. Great Danes are lazy bones. They enjoy laying on
the sofa. So, it should be quite large. They are home-sitters by
their nature.
But their physical strength leaves no doubts in Great Dane origin
and original function as a guard dog and hound.
First of all it is about Great Danes height. They are really giant.
Great Dane is considered to be the highest dog breed in the line
with Irish Wolfhound.
In spite of Great Dane weight and height, this dog is very gracious
and elegant.
In spite of Great Dane origin, it is a very friendly, gentle, calm,
mentally stable and obedient dog. Great Dane is very devoted to his
family and especially to children. Though, a 6 months old Great Dane
puppy weigh usually more than a 6 y.o. child. That's why parents
should be careful to leave a Great Dane with children. Great Dane is
an active dog breed and needs daily walking. But he does not require
a great diversity of exercising and training.
Great Dane height in withers is no less 80 cm of dogs and 72 cm of
females.
Great Dane weight is to 90 kg.
Unfortunately, Great Dane life span is not long. It is about 7-8
years.
Great Dane Training
Great Dane training is easy and obedient if started at the puppy
age. If it is not started earlier, it may be difficult to train an
adult dog. The same touches upon other dog breeds training. But as
well as Great Dane is a large dog, it needs special attention and
careful approach in training.
Great Dane Care
Great Dane is a short haired dog breed. It is not difficult to care
for this dog. The Great Dane breeders recommend to use dry shampoo
if there is no special need in washing.
Frequent washing negatively affects dog fur.
Use special brush for large dogs. Pay attention to dog claws. They
should be short and not disturb a dog in movement. Use dog nail
clipper for this procedure. But do not cut them too short to prevent
infection.

I purchased your gorgeous Leather Harness for pulling and tracking. I was TOTALLY AMAZED at the QUALITY !!!! I am so pleased with it. I have used two of them for years now. No wear to them at all. They are very comfortable for the dog. Comfortable enough that Schautzie goes and brings me her harness when she wants to go out and run. I don't know what my top speed is..but tears were flying from my eyes. But I had Total control of her. If my male hadn't gone up to sniff a skunk all would have been perfect (tomato juice to bathe in takes skunk smell out, thank God)And for a disabled person this was just PURE FUN !!!!
