Great Dane puppies for sale in Alberta

Breed history

The Great Dane, often called the "Apollo of dogs" due to its impressive size and majestic appearance, originated in Germany. Initially bred to hunt large game like boar, these dogs were the result of crossing mastiffs with German hunting dogs. Over time, they became cherished as gentle giants and companions. Their enormous size, dignified demeanor, and calm nature have made them beloved pets worldwide, despite their relatively short lifespan. Though they were originally working dogs, today they are primarily kept as family pets and show dogs.
