Great Danes are not cheap to own. They eat a lot, require a lot of medicine when they get sick, and that is because of their enormous size. With a Great Dane, everything is just doubled or maybe tripled! Everything costs more.

You need to know many things before getting one of these gentle giants, and we're going to discuss that in this article!

Nevertheless, it's great to have a Great Dane as part of any family.

#1 Amazing temperament!

...(you can turn your dog off forever with enough negative attention) so it requires more work to get the perfect result.

#10 When you do go choose a puppy, they won’t flock to you.
