Great Dane

The elegant and distinguished-looking Great Dane is a true giant among dogs. It is a very old breed - dogs resembling the Great Dane can be found in Chinese literature as far back as 1121BC, and huge dogs are pictured in Egyptian tombs around 3000BC. However, it was during the Middle Ages that the breed was refined and developed in Germany. Bred to hunt Europe's most savage and powerful boars, the original Great Dane was notably vicious, and it was not until the breed was introduced to the United States in 1887 that American fanciers transformed it into a charming and good-natured dog. The Great Dane's sharp intelligence and protective instinct make it a celebrated guard dog, while its friendly, loyal, and dependable nature means it enjoys constant companionship.
