Description: The Great Dane, despite its great size, is somewhat of a delicate dog and shouldn’t be kept outside, but in the house as part of the family. It is a very friendly dog, and I think has one of the best natures of any dog I’ve ever seen. It has the gait more of a small horse than a dog, at least to my untrained eyes.
Many people refer to the Great Dane as a gentle giant, and that title seems quite apt. I have met many Great Danes in my life and they all have seemed more like overgrown baby dogs than fearsome canines! There is a beautiful harlequin Dane that I see once in a while from a nearby neighborhood, and I always marvel at his elegance. (Another elegant one is the greyhound cast as a gold charm - its part of my unique dog charms in gold.)
But the Great Dane can make a grand guard dog, and can be intimidating just because of his great size. It’s hard to imagine that at one time this dog hunted wild boar, a pretty savage wild animal, at least when being hunted! Now the Dane is a sweet and tender companion, never used now, as far as I’ve been able to ascertain, for hunting.
I hope you have a Great Dane in your live, and have a reason to wear this beautiful gold Great Dane charm!
