About the Great Dane
With their harmonious build and expressive face, Great Danes are gentle giants. Great Danes are happy, loving and fond of their human companions, particularly children, although they are wary of strangers.
A self-assured, calm and receptive Great Dane is a highly tolerant family dog with little in the way of aggression.
