The Great Dane is said to have descended from the Molossus hounds of ancient Rome. In the 1800’s, the Chancellor of Germany crossed Great Danes with mastiffs to get the ‘gentle giant’ dog we know today. As one of the tallest dogs, it is known as the Apollo of dogs. In Germany, it is known as Deutsche Dogge (German Mastiff). A Great Dane is good natured, devoted to its family and friendly with other animals.
