The Great Dane

Big presence. Soft heart.

Great Danes are known for their imposing size, but good Danes are typically affectionate, steady and deeply attached to their people.

Companion nature

They thrive on being included in family life and generally prefer being close to their people rather than living isolated outdoors.

Calm confidence

With good breeding, socialisation and training, Great Danes can be composed, friendly and wonderfully easy-going in the home.

Early guidance matters

Because an adult Dane is extremely powerful, polite leash manners, recall, boundaries and calm handling should begin in puppyhood.

  • Early human handling and household exposure
  • Age-appropriate socialisation
  • Careful matching of puppies to suitable homes
  • Practical guidance on feeding, growth, exercise and training

Looking for your next Great Dane?

When we have a litter, available puppies and litter information will be published on our Puppies page.

Responsible placement matters to us. Prospective homes should be prepared for the size, cost, training, space and long-term commitment of owning a giant breed.
