Choosing a great dane puppy breeder

Finding a reputable Great Dane puppy breeder can be a time consuming task, especially if it is done right. Not unlike a marriage, you bringing in a new family member that you must love and care for, in sickness and in health, in good times and those moments that are filled with frustrations. It is worthwhile in the long run to do some research before, so there are no long-term regrets to deal with afterwards.

What is the breed history of the Great Dane?

The Great Dane’s origins can be traced back to ancient Egypt. There have been drawings found that resemble the royal looking dog dated as far back as 3,000 B.C. There is a debate to whether they originated in the land of Tibet (due to there similarities with the native Tibetan Mastiff) or with a more German influence where they are known as ‘Deutsche Dogge’ (translating to ‘German Dog’ in English) up until this very day.

What some of the breed characteristics associated with the Great Dane?

Great Dane’s are considered to be gentle, kind dogs that get along well with children and other animals despite there intimidating appearance. Because of their massive size, you would assume that more space is needed to keep them happy yet they are known to be just as content curled up by there owner’s feet in front of a small fire as they are running free through acres of land.

But, just like humans, every dog has its own unique personality and there are as many different types of temperaments with them as any other animal. This is one of the reasons it is so important to find a knowledgeable breeder. An honest breeder that has experience will not breed a dog that has an abrasive personality. Even with two docile parents, it is probable to have a stronger-willed offspring. (Look at your children or friends to affirm this.) You will have the responsibility to raise them to be the kind of pet you want, much like your own child.
