Want a super-sized dog with a super chill personality? With my elegant stature and easygoing attitude, I could be the breed you’re searching for. Sure, I’m one of the largest breeds around, but I don’t need much in the way of exercise. A few leisurely walks a day should do the trick. Live in an apartment? All good. Have a small yard? No problem. I may be a sizable pooch, but I don’t need a lot of square footage for it to feel like home. When I stand on my back legs, I’m pretty darn tall – taller than most humans! Sometimes I get excited and knock stuff over, but I promise I mean well. I’m naturally a little protective of my family, but if you can teach me to rein it in as a puppy, you’ll find I’m gentle and patient with people, including kiddos. After all, they don’t call me the “Gentle Giant” for nothing. Just one thing – us Great Danes sometimes get sick with something called bloat. It happens when we eat too fast or if we run around a bunch after a meal. You might need to get me a slow-feeding bowl, but always keep an eye on me to make sure I don’t get the zoomies right after I eat. It’s really serious, so it’s important to learn the signs before you bring me home. Other than that, you’ll find I’m pretty easy to care for (if you don’t mind drool clean-up duty) and overall a very friendly doggo. So, if you’re looking for a pup that’s pretty much down for anything, then you’ll be down with me!
