If you want a long lived healthy Dane, you need to find a breeder that is less concerned with looks and more concerned by health and temperament. My great Dane is 10, healthy and alert. Hasn't really changed since he was 3 years old. He is a bit slower, but still the same. His breeder wanted healthy dogs. So he is a little lanky, not enormously tall or thick, and his one eye is half blue and half brown, but he is as strong as a horse. I asked the breeder what qualities she was trying to breed and she replied, long life and good health, as well as temperament. My Dane is a registered full blood Great Dane that wasn't $3000, he was $500 and he is an amazing animal and an awesome companion. Show dogs are the right dog for very few people.

Gaius Caligula, I lost my first one to bloat at 8 years of age. He was kind of a rescue (belong to a friend that couldn't support him no more). My girl, now very old, is a rescue. She's with me for 7 years, I don't know her age. I never wanted a GD. They have health issues, they are too sweet, they broke our hearts. But I'm a giant dogs person and shit happens to me 😂😂😂. I was so devasted with my Anúbis death that I bought a Caucasian Ovcharka, the mean killing machine and the opposite of a GD.

Ela Mongrella I don't get the dew claws since there is absolutely no practical reason for them to have them and they often get in the way, not to mention the nails don't wear down on their own since they don't come into contact with the ground. I have one dog with dew claws and one without, and I really wish the one with dew claws had them removed when she was a puppy. They get caught on rocks and brush, causing mostly minor injuries, but one time her whole claw got ripped out, leaving a gaping home in her foot that required a trip to the emergency vet. They also make it very difficult if not impossible to put on booties for hiking.

I had no idea there was any breed that needed the front dew claw removed! Do they really do that? I had a chow mix with double rear dewclaws, they were only attached by skin and had those removed... I've seen my dogs use their front claw to itch their ears, for instance.

@cre-kate-ive

@@julieb3996 Often it isn't necessary. Many reputable breeders take it case by case. If the dewclaws are only attached by skin, not by nerves, they may be removed to prevent injury(but usually don't have to be). If they are attached by nerves, they should usually not be removed. They can be useful to many dog breeds and I read that removing them has been shown to increase some health issues. So it really depends on the dog.

So you would rather see hound dog ears that get infected, torn and in a few years lose their hearing? No! The canine family all wild dogs naturally have ears that that stand UP! The floppy long ears are a genetic deformation of the origional German breed that were combined by the Creators of the breed! Unfortunately some of the breeds they used had long, floppy ears! It's a throwback from the origional breeders choice of dogs. Do more studying!

Good luck, because this is outdated information backed by no science which continues to be peddled by people who feel attacked for clinging to their entrenched, misinformed beliefs. The American Veterinary Medical Association has condemned the practice and it is no longer taught at Veterinary colleges in the US. 40 countries around the world have banned ear cropping, and in the UK the practice has been banned for 121 years.

I have had my Great Dane for over 2 years now. I have had a chow chow, golden retriever, Labrador (one black one yellow) and this Great Dane by far I have bonded with in a different and unique way that I ever have with any other dog I have ever had. He’s brindle with a bright copper coloring. I want him to live as long as possible so I make his food daily. He has a right eye and in the sun he’s extremely majestic looking. My chow chow lived 18 long years. My lab needed a total hip replacement which cost 7k. The saddest thing is I know he has a shorter lifespan but a great day will forever be in my home from now on. Those of us who have had the pleasure of owning these big loving softies totally understand. I thought everything opposite of this breed until I got one. I selfishly choose my dog because he was the best looking pup I have ever seen but now there is so much more he has taught me about the breed.

Wow this breeder gives a lot of great information about Great Danes. I love watching Dogumentary TV.

We got our first Dane in January and she’s amazing. So loving and so sweet. She is definitely my shadow. I needed a companion to be at home with me. I used to be an RN and was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. So she’s with me

yessss, true passion and knowledgeable on breeds and animal wellbeing in general

We have a black lab and she needed a companion. We were offered a blue American Staffy and took him, only to realise very quickly he was a Beautiful blue Great Dane. He’s grown so big so quick! I didn’t know a thing about them until he came along. Biggest and best blessing ever. I’ve grown up with all kinds of dogs and he is by far the most incredible breed. Besides the chewing, he’s perfect. Kind, smart, gentle, loyal, VERY well behaved and not too active. He’s amazing with the kids and has become our labs best friend. Brings tears to my eyes how much love I have for this dog. The BEST breed. My heart will break the day he’s gone. But I can say one thing for sure, if we ever get another dog, it will be another incredible Great Dane! Wouldn’t recommend anything else to anyone. If you want a best friend for yourself, another dog or your kids, these are the dogs! Mans best friend!!

Very honest and educational video. Great to see an American breeder against cropping.

Having a great dane, I can speak to many of the points she makes. I've had quite a few dogs over the years and I do have to say there is something special about a great dane that is unlike every other breed. Such an attachment that grows on you that's unlike anything else. Great companions. Amazing personalities, just straight up goofy. Yes they have short life spans, but what you get in return is well worth it.

I have two. A blue Merle and a blue Great Dane Best dog's ive ever had the privilege to be best friends with. Love my girls just like my kids

Thank you so much for featuring the Great Dane! I am on my third Great Dane and I agree with everything this breeder says. They're also very prone to DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy). I've had one drop dead suddenly at 2 years old and have heard from many people similar stories. They're also called the "heartbreak breed" for this reason as well as their short lifespan. Great Danes are such a sensitive and unique breed. I've owned different breeds of dogs in my life (labs, Am Staffs, and Cockers) and the Dane is by far my favorite. I will probably always own them! Thanks again for posting such a wonderful documentary!!!

that was an excellent overview of this breed by a very dedicated and loyal dog owner. I was a little watery eyed when she talked about her personal experience with her still born pup and how the mother brought her back to life. I owe my life to dogs as my life was saved from a frozen pond when I was a teen. I've always been dedicated to labs as this was the breed that pulled me to the shore that day. however after gaining more insight from this woman I'm sure that the Great Dane will be my next companion. thank you for putting this woman out there to speak about her dogs. 🙏🏼

Vast vocabulary-you can talk to them rather than just give a command. And they are definitely like shadows! Amazing breed. Definitely make certain to have the time and funds available to spend. & keep those nails trimmed on the regular! Awesome breed

Beautiful breed, I wish more people knew how cool they are.

GREAT video!!!i love Danes!!!i looked after two for 6 years.they are very expensive dogs...I would also advise future owners to understand bloat...both of my Danes went through bloat(very scary)..lucky they got to the vet quickly and underwent a very expensive surgery .i would also tell potential owners that these dogs take colossal size shits ...so picking up after your dog is a must...if your not someone who does then you shouldn't own this breed. I'm really glad she talked about the cropped vs uncropped ear decision....finally !! I loved the years with my Danes ...they are lovable and protective ...just great dogs!!thanks for another great video!!

Just got my first Great Dane puppy yesterday. One day he’s already a lot of work. I’ve been around plenty. I’m looking forward to learning more about the breed so I can be better prepared.

We had a great dane that lived a bit more that 11 years old. He was less than 12 when we eventually had to put him down cause of seizures that were getting too frequent. He was loving and loyal companion, especially to my dad, a really heavy lapdog. May they both rest in peace. Also I love passionate people represented in your documentaries and nice scenery. Keep up the good work!

Our Great Dane pup just turned 7 months old last week. Already is up to 96 pounds! Amazing growth rate on these dogs, seems like every day you come home, they grew more! Ours is a gorgeous gunmetal Blue, a bit of white on the chest and a couple toes. We get comments wherever he goes on being such a good looking dog. A couple months ago he discovered he enjoys riding with his head sticking out of the sunroof of whatever car he is in. Needless to say, he gets a ton of looks from passing motorists and brings a ton of smiles to peoples faces. I was a bit put off on the short life span but read a comment from an owner saying they would take 7 years with a Great Dane over 14 years with any other breed. That hit home with me and I am glad I got this one. He is fun, goofy, loving and just a joy to have!

that's such a great video. And that woman really knows a lot about the breed, thanks for sharing your knowledge

Great Dane forever. Unbelievably informational video. Great job

My friends have a great dane and 4 kids (Now 5 ). The first issue was having the dog recognize children shouldn't be jumped on or knocked over as a play toy. Was NEVER aggressive to any children and now he walks around the kids and doesn't make a game of it. He got out of the yard at around 1 year old and 65 kilos. They were in a panic thinking he was out doing something bad. He just wanted to go for a good run/walk. Got a phone call while I was there and the guy said he had just picked up their dog. Asked for the address to bring him home. He man got out of the car and looked like a drowned rat. Dog ( yes that`s his name ) sat in the car and did nothing but lick his head from the back seat. The man asked for a shower after dropping him off. As he was leaving Dog jumped up and looked him in the eyes and put his head on his shoulder for a cuddle. But Dogs a little bit of a naughty boy and definitely likes his personal time in front of the aircon or heater depending on time of year.
