About
The Great Dane is a giant German dog breed originally bred for hunting that stands among the tallest domestic dogs.
Along with the Irish Wolfhound, this German breed ranks among the tallest domestic dogs in existence. Males are typically larger and heavier than females, carrying deep chests and thick muscular frames. When standing upright on their hind legs, some individuals can stretch over 7 feet (2.1 m) tall, easily towering over most people.
