1. The origin of the Great Dane breed.
The Great Dane originated in Germany, and its earliest ancestors may have come from large dog breeds such as the ancient European Mastiff (Molossus) and Tibetan Mastiff. German hunters and nobles began to breed this breed in the Middle Ages for use as hunting dogs and guard dogs. Through crossbreeding with other large dog breeds (such as the English hound), the Great Dane we see today gradually formed. They are large in size and powerful, suitable for hunting large wild animals and protecting their owners, and eventually evolved into a docile and loyal family companion dog.
2. Origin of the Great Dane name.
The name “Great Dane” comes from a historical misunderstanding. Although this breed originated in Germany, the British mistakenly thought it was related to Denmark and called it “Great Dane”. In fact, it was called “Deutsche Dogge” (German Mastiff) in Germany.
3. Appearance of the Great Dane.
The Great Dane is known for its diverse coat colors, and its standard coat colors mainly include brindle, tan, blue, black and spotted (commonly known as “ugly character”). The brindle color is golden with black stripes, the tan is a uniform golden brown, the blue is dark gray with a metallic luster, and the black is pure black. This variety of coat color characteristics makes the Great Dane a representative of giant dogs with both elegance and personality.
3.1 Great Dane Breed
Great Danes do not usually have a clear “breed classification” like other dog breeds, but can be divided according to their color or bloodline.
- a. Classification by bloodline
• American Great Dane: Lighter body, smoother lines, more delicate head. More in line with the American Kennel Club (AKC) standard in dog shows.
• European Great Dane: Larger, heavier body, more bone, wider head. Considered more “mastiff” in appearance than American Great Danes.
- b. Classification by coat color (colors that meet AKC or FCI standards), it includes Black, Classic Blue, Brindle, Fawn,Harlequin, Mantle, Merle, white etc.
3.2 Great Dane Size
The size of the Great Dane is one of its most notable features. An adult Great Dane can reach a height of more than 2 meters and weighs usually between 50-90 kilograms. They have a large frame and well-developed muscles, which gives them a powerful impression. Even when standing, many Great Danes are taller than many other dog breeds at the shoulder.
3.3 Tallest Dog Breed
Great Danes are not only large in size, but are also often recognized as the “world’s tallest dog.” Historically, a Great Dane named “Zeus” was certified by the Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest dog. Its shoulder height reached 1.118 meters and it was 2.21 meters tall when standing! This record has not been broken to this day.
4. Great Dane Dog Personality.
The Great Dane is not the most intelligent dog, but its gentle character, loyal nature and good interaction with family members make it a favorite dog breed for many people.
5. What does it mean when a Great Dane lift one front paw up?
When a Great Dane raises its front paw, it usually means that it is showing friendliness, seeking attention or expressing interest to humans or other animals. This action is common in dog social behavior, similar to greeting or requesting interaction. In training, raising the paw may also be a movement learned through commands such as “shake hands” or “sit”. Therefore, raising the front paw is not only a dog’s body language, but also a reflection of its emotions and interaction methods.
6. The Great Dane Statue we completed recently
