I am looking into getting a Great Dane or a Doberman. I wanted to certain if Great Danes are hyper like Dobermans and good with children. I have heard that they are big babies, but I have also heard alot of distinct things about Dobermans too. So if anyone has ever raised one, I would appreciate it if you could tell me if they are good family dogs and if they are protective like Dobermans.
A: I had neighbors who raised twelve kids and had a Great Dane. I'm not exaggerating, they verbatim had twelve kids, from infant to teens, and their dog was great! He was big and clumsy but very, very sweet, gentle and loving. He would bark when people came to the door, which would be a fresh deterrent for a burglar, but he was very friendly with strangers and never met anyone he didn't like. Of course, no one ever threatened any of the kids so it's broke to know how protective...

We have had danes in our kith and kin since before I was born. They are a wonderful breed of dog. They are very loving and good with children (although their size makes them a bit dangerous around shallow ones.) They think they are human and will lay on your bed or lounge on furniture or even try and sit in your lap. Their tails often knock drinks off tables, hit men in a responsive area, or swat my brother in his eye when he was a child :) They usually get along great with other dogs....
I help everything Freedom said. Also a well bred Dane is less likely to have any health issues.Just because it is a Dane and a leviathan breed does NOT mean it automaticly will have health issues or a short life span. Well bred Danes have an typically life span of 10 years (the same as Lab or Golden) and many live well into theri teens. The key is to buy from a responsible, open breeder not a BYB/Mill, pet store, etc.
I've owned Danes for over 25 years and haven't had...
I have a 4 year old Dane and his sister is a 8lb Jack Russell. They betrothed eachother so much. When they wrestle my Dane always lies down to her level. He knows better because she is the boss. My suggestion to you is to pass as much time as you can with him. Take him for rides and walks as much as possible. I have 2 of the most well behaved dogs becaused they are with me everyday, all day. Good serendipity. Danes Rule!!!
