This time the editor will take you to take a look at this large but easy-going dog.
1. Introduction
The English name of the Great Dane is translated from the French name "The Great Dane" (Dogue Allemand). Over the centuries, the Great Dane has had many names, and this is just one of them. Because it is still controversial whether its origin is Denmark or Germany. So in Germany it is called German Mastiff. In 1878, an inspection meeting of the dog breed was held in Berlin, which announced the name of this dog as "Deutsche dogge" (Great Dane), and other names were subsequently cancelled.

2. Experience
It is still controversial whether the breeding place of Great Dane is Denmark or Germany. It is generally believed that although the Great Dane's name originated from Denmark, it is actually a dog breed developed in Germany. It can be seen in many Pangu literary masterpieces. The Great Dane, which grew up in the sub-Mediterranean region, came to Germany with early Persian traders or Roman troops. It can be determined that the Great Dane's ancestors were raised by European royal families and nobles, and were a symbol of noble status. In the Middle Ages, the Great Dane was not just a mark of nobility, but also showed excellent skills in hunting wild boars and wolves.
The dog pattern that appears on ancient Egyptian monuments around 3000 BC is very similar to the Great Dane. The earliest depiction of a dog similar to the Great Dane can be found in a Chinese literary masterpiece from 1121 BC. Dr. G. Ciaburri of the Italian Great Dane Club stated in an article published in 1929 that famous zoologists believe that the Mastiff originated in China, but subsequent breeding mayin Germany.
The Great Dane, as an independent breed, has been bred for about 400 years. Like other ancient breeds, Great Danes were originally bred to help people work. The Germans used Great Danes to hunt wild boar. Of all the pigs on the European continent, the wild boar is the fiercest, fastest and strongest. In order to catch wild boars, they needed a very large dog, so the Germans bred the Great Dane, which the Germans called the Emperor of Dogs.
In the late 19th century, the Great Dane developed into its current format. In 1891, the German Great Dane Club adopted a set of thorough standards, or official standards, for measuring Great Danes. Indeed, owning a Great Dane with an elegant appearance, a large body, full muscles, and health and strength is a thing worth sharing.
