    Great Dane

    The Great Dane may be a large dog but they are true gentle giants and as such they have become a popular choice both as family pets and companion dogs not only in the UK but elsewhere in the world too. They boast very kind playful natures and seem to have an affinity with children of all ages. Their devotion and loyalty to their owners matches a Great Dane's impressive looks.
