THE GREAT DANE

The Great Dane, also known as the Apollo of dogs, is a giant breed. The breed is thought to have been around for more than 400 years. Great Danes descend from mastiff-like dogs that were bred by German nobility to protect country estates and hunt wild boar. One of Europe’s largest countries, Germany encompasses a wide variety of landscapes: the tall, sheer mountains of the south; the sandy, rolling plains of the north; the forested hills of the urbanized west; and the plains of the agricultural east. In the 18th century, Great Danes were prestigious guardians of estates. They were also popular with the upper class for sport, as few other dogs could bring down the countries largest boar As portrayed by Great Dane history, the Dane of old is certainly not the affectionate companion of today, yet it still maintains some physical traits and instincts of its ancestors. Great Dane history from the 14th century forward reveals that the early Dane was a courageous powerful hunter, capable of great speeds and swift attack. This muscular dog was developed primarily in England and Germany by combining speed of the Greyhound, with the muscle and strength of the English Mastiff. Many canine historians further link the Irish Wolfhound to early breed lineage as depicted by ancient Great Dane history. Please support the Channel by checking out my affiliate links!!!
