Characteristics, Temperament, and History

History:

Great Danes’ history goes back to as early as 3000 BC. Through stone carvings, there is archeological evidence that Danes were used for hunting and fighting bears and bulls. However, over time, the Dane has developed into the friendly, sweet, gentle giant we know today. As a boarhound, the Dane of yesterday was very different, both in structure and temperament from the Dane of today. When no longer used for hunting, the breed changed to become one of a companion and guard dog.

Temperament:

Great Danes are spirited, courageous, friendly, and dependable. They’re easygoing dogs, affectionate with family members, and confident with strangers. The Great Dane has a stable, easy-going nature, preferring to lounge on the couch near a loved one to almost any other pastime. They’re gentle, active, and protective, which is an excellent combination for busy households with children.

Height and Weight:

The Great Dane is a giant working breed and appears well-proportioned for its size. Mature males are at least 30 inches at the shoulders and between 120 to 200 lbs, while mature females are no less than 28 inches and 99 to 130 lbs..
