Great Dane Names
Unique Names For A Rather Large Breed
Great Dane names should be as unusual as these large dogs. Among the largest breeds of pet canines, these dogs are often compared to ponies in size. While extremely strong, this breed is also among the most elegant of companions. They are often referred to as the King of dogs and "gentle giants". They can make wonderful pets but, because of sheer size and children's tendency to want to ride on the backs of these big pooches, they do need some supervision when small children are present. This breed requires very little grooming due to the short length of their coats. The coat is often a beautiful tan color officially named "fawn" by the AKC. They also appear with brindle, black, steel blue-grey, irregular black and white known as harlequin and mantle which refers to a dog with black blanket skull combined with a white muzzle and most of the rest of the body should be white. A full description of this complex color scheme can be researched with the American Kennel Club. These dogs are frequently allowed to play in the yard and stay in fenced yards at night. While they do not tend to be fighting dogs, they will guard their homes and people and their huge size deters anyone thinking of trespassing.
