Great Danes

In this episode we bring you a breed profile of one of the largest dog breeds, the Great Dane.
These are tall, sturdy dogs who have a serious, dignified expression. With an impressive physique and a big bark to match, are they hard to handle or big softies at heart? We spoke to several Great Dane owners at a show, some of whom were members of the Great Dane Lovers forum.
