BREED DESCRIPTION
The Great Dane breed was developed in Germany, where it has been known since the Middle Ages. The Great Dane was used
originally to hunt wild boar, patrol estates and as a war dog. They were first imported into North America during the
18th century.
Great Danes were used as attack dogs because they were so ferocious. However, now they display an
even-temper, and are friendly and dependable.
The Great Dane dogs are said to be spirited and courageous. They e
njoy outdoor activity and daily exercise. They adapt well to city or country living but need room indoors as well as
out.
Males measure 30 in, 76 cm and females are just a bit smaller.
Their coat is short, smooth, thick
and glossy.
The coat requires minimal grooming.
