🛑 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 INFORMATION AVAILABLE CLICK HERE👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

The calm, friendly, and dependable Great Dane is a breed of working dogs revered for its imposing size, strength, and grace. Originally bred for hunting European wild boar, the Gentle Giants have earned a reputation as one of the most patient and loyal dog breeds that is a joy to live with.
These giant working dogs are characterized by the following physical features:
Head: Rectangular, long, distinguished, finely chiseled, expressive
Eyes: Medium-sized, deep-set, dark with relatively tight and almond-shaped eyelids
Ears: High set, moderately thick, medium-sized, folded forward
Body: Firm, high set, well-arched, and muscular neck, broad and deep chest, short level back
Tail: High set, broad at the base, slightly curved when excited
The American Kennel Club recognizes different types of Great Dane based on their coat color, patterns, and markings:
Brindle: It has a yellow-gold coat with a black chevron pattern and a black mask. Black appears on its eyebrows and eye rims and occasionally appears on its tail tip and ears.
Fawn: It also has a yellow-gold base with a black mask on its eyebrows and black eye rims. Dark yellow-gold is always the preferred color, but white markings on the toes and chest or black front are not desirable.
Blue: It has a steel-blue coat, though white markings on its chest and feet are undesirable.
Black: Its coat is glossy black, however, the white chest and toes are undesirable.
Harlequin: It is characterized by a white base color with black torn patches spread over the entire body. Black pigments may appear in white areas while its neck can be fully or partially white.
Mantle: It comes with a black and white coat, as well as a black blanket that extends over its body. Its neck and legs are fully or partially white, while its skull is black with a white muzzle and its tail is white with a black tip.
Merle: It is characterized by a pale- to dark-gray merle coat and black torn patches on the body. It can be solid merle with white chest and toes or merle with the mantle pattern.

Competitive Registration/Qualification Information
The ancestors of Great Dane are believed to have been developed by the Greeks and Romans who bred the Assyrian dogs with the early English Mastiffs and Irish Wolfhounds. Since these dogs were bred for hunting wild boars, they were originally called the Boar Hounds.
In the mid-sixteenth century, they were named and spelled Englischer Hund or Dogge in Germany. During the late seventeenth century, the German nobles started breeding the Gentle Giants in their court and called them Kammerhunde (meaning Chamber Dogs) that were fitted with gilded collars. Aside from hunting boar, deer, and bear, they helped protect their loved ones from danger.
The German breeders are credited for refining the Danes to be elegant, gentle, and well-balanced. During the late 1800s, they agreed to give the breed a separate name Deutsche Dogge (German Dog) and established the Deutscher Doggen-Klub of Germany. Although it is not clear when the breed was imported to the US, the Great Dane Club of America was created in 1889.
The Great Dane, truly nicknamed the Gentle Giant, is one of the friendliest and most even-tempered dogs you can have in your household. It is a sweet, affectionate pet that has a desire to please and stays close to its people.
Because of its amiable disposition, it gets along well with strangers and greets them happily. However, it can also be fiercely protective of its family when it senses any threat to its loved ones.
The Great Dane is known to be gentle with kids and other pets in the household. Due to their large size, Danes can accidentally knock your child over easily. Make sure to keep an eye on the interactions between young children and your dog.
Being an energetic breed, an adult Great Dane requires 30-50 minutes of regular exercise, including a long brisk walk twice or thrice a day. It is known to make a good jogging or hiking companion, but you should avoid taking it out for jogging until it is 18-24 months old to prevent causing any injury to its joints.
Keep your dog on a leash while taking it out for a walk or jog and let it lose only in securely fenced areas. You may also train it to participate in obedience, agility, tracking events, and sports like flyball.
Weekly brushing using a firm, medium-bristle brush, hound glove, or a rubber grooming mitt helps in minimizing shedding. A daily brushing, however, is ideal during the shedding season. It needs a bath with a quality dog shampoo only when its coat is messy. Keep its nails from growing too long by trimming them frequently. Since it tends to drool, you can wipe up the saliva using a soft hand towel.
Bloating or gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) is a life-threatening health issue in Danes. Some of the other health problems commonly seen in a Great Dane include hip dysplasia, developmental problems, bone cancer, and heart disease.
Being sociable, friendly, and agreeable by nature, training a Dane is easy. However, a firm and consistent approach is needed to train a large and powerful breed like the Great Dane.
Teaching it commands like stop, stay, sit, wait, come, heel, and down during puppyhood is essential to keep a large dog like Great Dane from misbehaving such as jumping up and greeting visitors, reaching for foods, or accidentally knocking off cups on a table.
Because a Dane has a keen sense of smell and tends to follow a scent trail, training it to get used to wearing a collar and walk politely on a leash is important. It is also useful for mitigating mistakes like lunging, barking, and pulling.
Choose quality dog food for your Dane and make sure that it has a balanced amount of proteins, carbs, and other nutrients. Avoid giving your Great Dane pup regular puppy food and do not supplement with anything. The daily amounts of food, varying with age and gender, is as follows:
Give your puppy three meals per day until it is five months old and decrease feedings from three to two once it reaches six months.
Although unusual, a few instances of attacks by Danes on people have been noted like a woman was attacked in January 2019, and a three-year-old boy’s ear was partly bitten off in March 2018.

German Boarhound
The Great Dane, also known as the German Mastiff or Deutsche Dogge, is a breed of dog from Germany. The Great Dane descends from hunting dogs known from the Middle Ages and is one of the largest breeds in the world.

In the middle of the 16th century, the nobility in many countries of Europe imported strong, long-legged dogs from England, which were descended from crossbreeds between English Mastiffs and Irish Wolfhounds. They were dog hybrids in different sizes and phenotypes with no formal breed.[2] These dogs were called Englische Docke or Englische Tocke – later written and spelled: Dogge – or Englischer Hund in Germany. The name simply meant "English dog". Since then, the English word "dog" has come to be associated with a molossoid dog in Germany[3] and France.[4] These dogs were bred in the courts of German nobility, independent of the English methods, since the start of the 17th century.[5][6]
The dogs were used for hunting bear, boar, and deer at princely courts, with the favorites staying at night in the bedchambers of their lords. These Kammerhunde (chamber dogs) were outfitted with ornate collars, and helped protect the sleeping princes from assassins.[7][8]
While hunting boar or bears, the Englische Dogge was a catch dog used after the other hunting dogs to seize the bear or boar and hold it in place until the huntsman was able to kill it. When the hunting customs changed, particularly because of the use of firearms, many of the involved dog types disappeared. The Englische Dogge became rare, and was kept only as a dog of hobby or luxury.
In Austria and Germany the Molossian hound, the Suliot dog and other imports from Greece were used in the 18th century to increase the stature of the boarhounds.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
In 1878, a committee was formed in Berlin which changed the name of the "Englische Dogge" (English mastiff derivatives) to "Deutsche Dogge" (German mastiff), this being the Great Dane. This laid the foundations from which the breed was developed.[15] During the 19th century, the dog was known as a "German boarhound" in English-speaking countries.[16] Some German breeders tried to introduce the names "German Dogge" and "German Mastiff" on the English market, because they believed the breed should be marketed as a dog of luxury and not as a working dog.[5] However, due to the increasing tensions between Germany and other countries, the dog later became referred to as a "Great Dane", after the grand danois[17] in Buffon's Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière in 1755.

The Great Dane is a large German domestic dog known for its big size.[18][19]
The Great Dane combines, in its regal appearance, strength, and elegance with great size and a powerful, well-formed, smoothly muscled body. It is one of the giant working breeds, but is unique in that its general conformation must be so well balanced that it never appears clumsy, and shall move with a long reach and powerful drive.[18] The Great Dane is a short-haired breed with a strong, galloping figure.[20]
In the ratio between length and height, the Great Dane should be square. The male dog should not be less than 30 in (76 cm) at the shoulders, a female 28 in (71 cm). Danes under minimum height are disqualified.[18] From year to year, the tallest living dog is typically a Great Dane. Previous record holders include Gibson, Titan, and George; however, the current record holder is a black Great Dane named Zeus that stood 111.8 cm (44.0 in) at the shoulder before his death in September 2014.[21] He was also the tallest dog on record (according to Guinness World Records),[21] beating the previous holder, the aforementioned George that stood 109.2 cm (43.0 in) at the shoulder.[22]
The minimum weight for a Great Dane over 18 months is 120 lb (54 kg) for males, 100 lb (45 kg) for females.[20][23] Unusually, the American Kennel Club dropped the minimum weight requirement from its standard.[24] The male should appear more massive throughout than the female, with a larger frame and heavier bone.[18]
Great Danes have naturally floppy, triangular ears. In the past, when Great Danes were commonly used to hunt boars, cropping of the ears was performed to make injuries to the dogs' ears less likely during hunts. Now that Danes are primarily companion animals, cropping is sometimes still done for traditional and cosmetic reasons. In the 1930s when Great Danes had their ears cropped, after the surgery, two devices called Easter bonnets were fitted to their ears to make them stand up.[25] Today, the practice is common in the United States, but much less common in Europe. In some European countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, and Germany, and parts of Australia and New Zealand, the practice is banned or controlled to only be performed by veterinary surgeons.

According to the breed-standard, Great Danes have five to six (depending on the standard) show-acceptable coat colours:[18][26]
Other colours occur occasionally, but are not acceptable for conformation showing and they are not pursued by breeders who intend to breed show dogs. These colours include: white, chocolate, smokey fawn or buckskin, blue fawn, blue brindle, blue harlequin or porcelain, mantled fawn, mantled brindle, mantled blue, onyx or reverse brindle, various merles (fawn merle, brindle merle, blue merle, mantled merle, chocolate merle, silver or platinum merle and tri-coloured merle), piebald, fawnequin, brindlequin and merlequin. The white Great Dane colouring is typically associated with vision and hearing impairment.[30]
The Great Dane's large and imposing appearance belies its friendly nature. They are known for seeking physical affection with their owners, and the breed is often referred to as a "gentle giant".[18][31]
Great Danes are generally well disposed toward other dogs, other noncanine pets, and familiar humans. They generally do not exhibit extreme aggressiveness or a high prey drive.[32] The Great Dane is a very gentle and loving animal and with the proper care and training is great around children, especially when being raised with them. However, if not properly socialized, a Great Dane may become fearful or aggressive towards new stimuli, such as strangers and new environments.[33]
Great Danes, like most giant dogs, have a faster metabolism. This results in more energy and food consumption per pound of dog than in small breeds. They have some health problems that are common to large breeds, including bloat (gastric dilatation volvulus).[34]
Nutrition places a role in this breed's health. Bloat, or gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), is the greatest killer of Great Danes.[35] To avoid bloat, a rest period of 40 minutes to one hour after meals is recommended before exercise.[36] Their average lifespan is 6 to 8 years; however, some Great Danes have been known to reach 10 years of age or more.[37][38] Like many larger breeds, Great Danes are at particular risk for hip dysplasia.
Dilated cardiomyopathy and many congenital heart diseases are also commonly found in the Great Dane, leading to its nickname: the heartbreak breed, in conjunction with its shorter lifespan. Great Danes also may carry the merle gene, which is part of the genetic makeup that creates the harlequin coloring.[39] The merle gene is an incomplete dominant, meaning only one copy of the gene is needed to show the merle coloring; two merle genes produce excessive white markings and many health issues such as deafness, blindness, or other debilitating ocular issues. Great Danes can also develop wobbler disease, a condition affecting the vertebral column. Since these dogs do grow at a rapid rate, the bones in their vertebae can push up against the spinal cord and cause weakness in the legs. This can be treated with surgery or may heal itself over time.[40]
