The Great Dane...The Gentle Giant
The Great Dane has earned his reputation as a great family pet.
Devoted to his family with his well to do with temperament. He is gentle with children and recognised as an animal of great intelligence making him easy to train.
His great size makes him the best of deterrents to all intruders.
With the correct rearing he will give a decade of love and affection to his owners.
As is the case with most breeds of dogs the males are generally bigger and stronger than the females.
Puppy
Great Dane puppies are typical of the giant breeds and need a careful combination of correct feeding, exercise and sleep in order to ensure they make good bones. It is advisable to follow the diet sheet your puppy’s breeder gave you and if in doubt refer back to them. It is important to get them use to having their nails trimmed, teeth brushed and ears cleaned. Grooming should be conducted regularly, particularly when they are losing their puppy coat.
Adult
A Dane will usually reach its full height by 12-14 months, then take another year or so to mature. Their diet will have changed as will the frequency at which they are fed.
Elderly
Great Danes tend to show their age from about 7 years of age. They take life at a gentler pace, cherish their routines more than ever and tend to feel the cold. If they have the odd accident they will usually be embarrassed, to which telling them off serves no purpose.
