UTILIZATION: Companion, watch- and guard dog. FCI-CLASSIFICATION: Group 2 Pinscher and Schnauzer – Molossoid breeds – Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs. Section 2.1 Molossoid breeds, Mastiff type. Without working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: As forerunners of the present day Great Dane, one must look at the old “Bullenbeisser” (Bulldog) as well as the « Hatz-and Saurüden » (Hunting and wild boar hounds), which were midway between the strong Mastiff of English type and the fast, handy Greyhound. The term Dogge was at first understood to mean a large, powerful dog, not of any particular breed. Later, particular names such as Ulmer Dogge, English Dogge, Great Dane, Hatzrüde (Hunting Dog), Saupacker (boarfinder) and Grosse Dogge (Great Dogge), classified these dogs according to colour and size. In the year 1878 a Committee of seven was formed in Berlin, consisting of active breeders and judges with Dr. Bodinus in the chair, which made the decision to classify all the forenamed varieties as “Deutsche Doggen” (Great Danes). Thus the foundation was laid for the breeding of a separate German breed. In the year 1880, on the occasion of a show in Berlin, the first standard for the Deutsche Dogge was laid down. FCI-St.

  • Great Danes Are Helping All Kinds of People Find Their Balance in Life
    Great Danes are helping all kinds of people find their balance in life. By Mara Bovsun Lean ve Dahl is a pretty 10-year-old with a bright smile, but she has a condition—osteogenesis imperfecta or brittle bone disease—that made her feel uncomfort- able going out in public. eThat changed when Finnegan, Finn for short, came into her life in January 2017, says her mother, Deborah Dahl. Dahl says that Eve used to think that people were staring at her wheelchair. Now, Eve says that they are “looking at my cool dog.” That “cool dog” is a black and white Great Dane, who, at 155 pounds, is more than four times Eve’s weight. To outsiders, they may look like an odd couple, but they are a perfect fit. Finn is Eve’s balance buddy, a living, breathing, furry cane. With Finn by her side, Eve confidently takes swimming and dance les- sons, sells lemonade at a curbside stand, goes trick-or-treating, and participates in all kinds of activities that put the joy in childhood. He’s with her, always, waiting poolside to give her a kiss after a swim, to help her with rehabilitation after surgery, or to guide her when walking through a crowd. “I feel like he’s made me stronger, so I can do a lot more things,” on Eve told FD in a phone interview. Eve was about 6 months old when she was diagnosed with the condition. By her 10th birthday, her mother estimates she had expe- rienced roughly 100 bone breaks, although she admits she stopped counting at 75.

These virtues alone are priceless if the dog is to become part of his master’s family, which he should for the well being of all concerned. The Boxer has a faculty of worming his way into the good graces and the hearts of an entire household. He seems to offer something special to each person he meets. It’s astonishing, but true .
