The Great Dane is an ancient breed of dog famous for its huge size and amiable personality. It is often referred to as “the Gentle Giant”. In the old poem Beowulf, a large hunting dog is kept by the Danír tribe. This dog is the ancestor of our modern Great Dane. In the olden days, the Great Danes were used to hunt wolfs, wild boar and deer. The Great Dane is known to have a gentle disposition, but dominance issues can arise if you try to combine two dogs of the same sex. The Great Dane is generally well-disposed toward children and pets. It can however be fond of chasing small animals.
