Breed All About It – Great Dane
next to Irish Wolfhounds Great Danes are the largest purebred dog breed but don’t let their size scare you they’re extraordinarily sweet and gentle dogs much preferring a couch to a confrontation Thierry Dilys tan breeds and shows Great Danes but mostly she works with them making her living by featuring her dogs in movies and television shows Hey the difference I find with the Great Danes versus maybe another breed is migrating think they they think they’ll sit there and go hmm why are we doing it this way would it be easier to this a month like no I know might be easier to do it this way but I really want you to go this one here well no let’s try it this way as Marty demonstrates Great Danes are remarkably tolerant of other dogs and those big heads are filled with big brains I fell a Great Dane is a very very very intelligent dog very smart aggression has pretty much been bred out of the breed but that small comfort for the rare instance when you’ve got a very angry 170 pound dog who towers over you baring its teeth so anyone considering a danger the puppies breeder can attest to its individual temperament and lineage the Great Dane standards a does call for dogs to come in five and only five colours brindle which is a golden black striped coat black blue bond and finally Harlequin the standard calls for Harlequins to be white with black patches like torn paper Harlequins with proper show markings are fairly rare and as such are held in high regard by breeders and owners there is one other color which will soon be allowed into the standard it’s called mantle basically a black color with white markings but for all their lovable quirks the real uniqueness of owning a day always comes back to its size I think their looks are a big big seller knowing that you have this large dog who is going to eat your lunch
