About Great Dane:

A Great Dane is commonly called the gentle giant of the dog world and rightly so. It has the perfect temperament to be a suitable. Due to their formidable size, it is safe to call them one of the world’s tallest dog breeds. In fact, the current record holder of the tallest dog in the world as per the Guinness World Record is held by Zeus, a Great Dane in the United States. Some even call them Apollo because of their presence in ancient Roman as depicted upon coins and scriptures.



The tallest dog breed is also one of the most loving temperaments you will choose to share space with. Although, with great stature comes great costs; they are likely to knock down a objects in their way including the young humans and the frail-bodied.



The Great Dane is known to be first bred and recorded around the 16th Century in Europe, however scriptures of an almost identical dog have been revealed dating back to about 3,000 B.C. The most likely originators of this dog are known to be English Mastiff and Irish wolfhound. Also known as 'German Mastiff', it is still quite a mystery where the name 'Great Dane' came to be.



Germany named this monstrous but friendly beast as their National Dog in 1876.



When they are about 12 months of age, they are already almost bigger than a 5-year old human. During the entire time they are growing, they seem to be completely oblivious of their size and presence..
