The Great Dane is the tallest of all dog breeds, known as the Apollo of Dogs for its majestic, elegant appearance.

He is the softest, most gentle creature I have ever known. He has never knocked over my four-year-old despite being tw…
Read full review →People assume Great Danes need enormous amounts of exercise. Mine is perfectly satisfied with two moderate walks a day. He is calm, dignified, and surprisingly quiet in the house.
