“Great” doesn’t even begin to describe this huge dog! As the largest dog breed in the world, Great Danes can be easily mistaken for aggressive however; they are very dependable, friendly, patient, and fantastic around children. While they may take up a little more room at the foot of your bed, they make fantastic house pets.
Inconspicuous is an adjective that has never been used to describe a Great Dane. With an average shoulder height of 30 inches, a healthy Great Dane will be nearly as tall as it is long. It’s no surprise that the tallest dogs on record have all been Great Danes. According to the Guinness World Records, the tallest dog ever recorded was a Great Dane named Zeus. Before his death in 2014, Zeus measured 44 inches from paw to shoulder. That’s nearly the height of a 9-year-old child!
Throughout the 16th century, the Great Dane was used as a boar and bear hunting dog. Its imposing size gave it an advantage over smaller dogs when it came to pursuing these larger animals. As hunting practices evolved over the years, Great Danes were needed less and less and the breed soon became domesticated.
Great Danes truly are gentle giants and are some of the most mellow dogs around. Their relatively slow metabolism leaves them with less energy than most dogs and it’s not uncommon to see a Great Dane sleep an entire day away. Even though they may be lazy, they are loving dogs that never miss a chance to show affection towards their owners.
