The
Great
Dane
,
The
Great
Dane
combines,
in
its
regal
appearance,
dignity,
strength
and
elegance
with
great
size
and
a
powerful,
well-formed,
smoothly
muscled
body.
It
is
one
of
the
giant
working
breeds,
but
is
unique
in
that
its
general
conformation
must
be
so
well
balanced
that
it
never
appears
clumsy,
and
shall
move
with
along
reach
and
powerful
drive.
The
Great Dane
is
spirited, courageous,
never
timid; always
friendly
and dependable.
This
physical and
mental
combination is
the
characteristic which
gives
the Great
Dane
the
majesty
possessed
by
no
other
breed.
Great
Dane
originated
in
Egypt.
The
earliest
Danelike
dogs
were
called
Boar
Hounds,and
later
known
as
English
Dogges.
In
the
1600's,
when
German
noblemen
were
breeding
great
numbers
of
the
dogs,
the
biggest
and
most
handsome
dogs
were
kept
inside
their
homes.
These
dogs
were
called
Kammerhunde,
meaning
Chamber
Dogs.
These
pampered
pets
wore
gilded
collars
trimmed
with
fringe
and
padded
with
velvet.
Buffon
gave
the
breed
the
name
it's
known
by
today.
While
traveling
in
Denmark,
he
saw
the
slimmer
variety
of
the
Boar
Hound,
which
shared
more
similarities
with
the
Greyhound.
Buffon
remarked
that
the
Danish
climate
had
caused
the
Greyhound
to
become
a
Grand
Danois.
Thereafter,
the
dogs
became
known
as
the
Great
Danish
Dog
...the
Great
Dane.
