Great Dane is the tallest dog in te world. It has been listed in Guinness World Records for tallest dog. Based on what i had read, in August 2004, a Great Dane named "Gibson" from Grass Valley, California was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's tallest dog, measuring 107 cm (42.2 in) at the withers. It is not in the best interest of the breed to attempt to achieve the "tallest" dog. Breeding for height will sacrifice structure and confirmation in the Great Dane and produce dogs that are unsound. The size of a Great Dane is slightly about the size of a pony. The nickname of Great Dane is Gentle Giant or Dane. It is also called Danish Hound or German Mastiff.
The following are the features of a pure breed Great Dane :
The male should appear more massive throughout than the female, with larger frame and heavier bone. In the ratio between length and height, the Great Dane should be square.
The male shall not be less than 30 inches (75 cm) at the shoulders, but it is preferable that he be 32 inches or more (>80 cm), providing he is well proportioned to his height.
In females, a somewhat longer body is permissible, providing she is well proportioned to her height. The female shall not be less than 28 inches (70 cm) at the shoulders, but it is preferable that she be 30 inches or more (>75 cm), providing she is well proportioned to her height.
Danes under minimum height must be disqualified. Males must weigh a minimum of 120 lbs (54.5 kg).
According to my own research, the market price of 1 pure Great Dane puppy is around 1 thousand US dollar. It is around RM 3800. It is really a big figure for me, maybe i am able to get one but it is very tough for me to rare this gigantic dog. Because this dog has a very very horrible appetite !!!!
I hope that one day i may affort to rare a lot of different kinds of domestic animals especially Great Dane.
