Great Danes are domestic, giant sized dogs that are very gentle despite their looks. They are taller than most of the dogs and even people. They are sweet and serve as very good watch dogs, rather than guard dogs. Strangers might think twice to enter seeing its size. Danes come in six coat colors: fawn, black, harlequin, brindle, mantle, and blue. 

This breed like to please their human parents and require a lot of human attention. They do not do well when left alone and need human company. Great danes rank as the 24th popular breed in the registration by the American Kennel Club. They need a lot of space and preferred in homes with huge spaces and yards. They need to be socialized at an early stage.
