Can you imagine 170 pounds of canine nonchalantly parking his rear end on your lap (with front paws still on the ground) and settling down to watch the news with you? What can you say about a dog that gallops like a horse with total grace one minute and the next is walking and trying to scratch with its hind leg at the same time? (Multi tasking confuses them!)

How do you explain the strong deep bark your Great Dane makes when he stands up and protects you from strangers he doesn’t know, but then whimpers and tries hiding with his head under your arm pit when it thunders outside!?

Great Danes are noble, beautiful, loving, silly, gentle, playful, trusting sensitive giant dogs with unique issues. They’re special – very special. Having one in your life is indescribably rewarding, but trying to learn about them or to source items you might need that cater to them can be very frustrating.

Not here.

We’ve been dog owners and Dane lovers for over twenty years and have had the privilege of having a Dane in our lives full time for the last three years. What an education it has been! We’ve gone through just about every canine product out there and ordered every ebook there is (well, most of them) trying to learn all there is to know about our beautiful beasts!

Here we try and share the information we think is the very best. You’ll find general Great Dane information, behavioral articles, medical considerations for Danes, feeding and training tips.

We also review products when we use them and we’ll post these to help you make informed decisions before you purchase anything. Please browse through our site and if you don’t find the answers to all your questions about Great Danes, contact us and we’ll do everything we can to find an answer for you.

We couldn't imagine our lives without Great Danes and we hope we can help anyone with an interest in this "dog of dogs".

We also publish a monthly e-zine, focused on the latest Dane issues and the daily trials, tribulations and triumphs of Dane ownership. Please take 30 seconds and subscibe to The Dane Report to make sure you get the latest Dane tips!
