About the Great Dane:
Great Dane information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

Serious consideration needs to be taken before adding a Great Dane to one's household. A giant breed costs more to feed and medicate than smaller dogs. Males can grow up to 35" at the shoulder and they need plenty of space to maneuver, a cramped apartment will not work. Early obedience training is a must with this breed because they get so large. Remember that things a 25lb puppy does may not be cute when the dog is over 100lbs (like jumping up to lick your face). Special care must be taken during puppy hood not to undertake strenuous exercise as their bones are still forming. With proper training this breed can be gentle with children and other animals and makes an excellent watch dog.
