Rockin' Danes

Temperament

 

Official standard for the

Great Dane is as follows:

The Great Dane must be spirited, courageous, always friendly and dependable,  never timid or aggressive.

​

   Temperament is especially important in a breed the size of a Great Dane. A bite from a big guy can do tremendous damage, especially to a child! Although the breed, overall, deserves its nickname of Gentle Giants, there are some individual dogs that do not. With breeding, proper socialization and training, you can guide your dog to be the best companion he can be! -Jill Swedlow
