Description
Monumental in size and personality, the Great Dane towers over other large breeds. Often thought to be the world's tallest dog, only the Irish Wolfhound can claim to be taller.
Great Danes, though, are said to be gentle giants, calm and friendly, despite their intimidating size. They do require love, attention, and plenty of space to exercise those long limbs, though, so they're ideal if you have a big backyard. Which is exactly what these people had....a large yard. And a trampoline. And this white canine was sitting right in the middle of that trampoline! As if he was guarding the house from his guard post! It was so cute, and of course, we had our cameras, so we turned around and went back to take a a photo of this Great Dane on "Trampoline Watch". And he did WATCH us to see what we were doing, making sure we did not get out of our cars and stayed our distance. I really did NOT want to see exactly how long those legs really were! LOL The current world record holder is 44 inches tall.
Originally, Great Danes were bred to hunt deer and wild boar.
The Great Dane combines, in its regal appearance, dignity, 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. The Great Dane is a short haired breed with a strong galloping figure.
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.
