Great Dane
Average price: $ 2000*
Country of origin: Germany
The GD is one of the largest dog breeds in the world. In fact, the record holder for the largest dog in the world was Zeus, a Great dane who measured 3.67 feet from the leg to the shoulder. The size of the breed is usually between 30 and 34 inches, which makes Zeus defenseless.
Great Danes originated in Germany and are the descendants of the hunting dogs of the Middle Ages. The huge breed was used to hunt big game, from wild boars to deer and bears. They come in a variety of colors, from beige to spectacular dark brown.
The GD is known for its loyalty and restraint. The average life expectancy is less than 10 years. He is a gentle dog, but very protective of the family. Fun fact: Scooby-Doo, a dog from the children’s favorite American cartoon, is a Great dane.
