Great Dane Puppies for Sale

Great Dane Puppies Temperament

Great Danes are true gentle giants. They have a naturally calm and patient temperament, and often enjoy spending time with their owners. They are affectionate, loyal, and will often follow their owners around the house to be near them. Great Danes are generally good with children and can make excellent playmates due to their gentle nature.

Socialization is important for Great Danes, especially during their puppyhood. This will help them to learn proper behavior around other dogs and animals. Great Danes are not typically aggressive, but their size and strength can be intimidating to other dogs.

Great Danes require love and attention from their owners, and do not do well when left alone for long periods of time. They are often referred to as “Velcro dogs” because they enjoy being near their owners as much as possible. While they are not typically barkers, they may alert their owners to strangers or unusual noises.

Great Dane Puppy Health Considerations

Though generally very happy and long-lived — with an average lifespan of around 7-10 years — our Great Danes for sale are not without their unique health concerns. Like every breed of dog, there are a few conditions you should be aware of before you consider purchasing one of our Great Dane puppies for sale.

Great Dane Puppy Coat & Coat Care

Great Danes have a short, sleek coat that is easy to care for. Their coat comes in a variety of colors, including fawn, brindle, black, blue, mantle, and harlequin. While Great Danes shed moderately throughout the year, they are not considered to be heavy shedders.

To care for a Great Dane’s coat, regular brushing is recommended. This helps to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils throughout the coat, keeping it healthy and shiny. Bathing should be done as needed, but should not be overdone, as it can strip the coat of its natural oils.

These pups are prone to ear infections, so it’s important to keep their ears clean and dry. Check the ears regularly for any signs of redness, swelling, or discharge. Use a damp cloth to wipe out the ears, being careful not to insert anything into the ear canal.

Nail trimming is also important, as a Great Dane’s nails can grow quite long and may become uncomfortable or even cause injury. Regular trimming can help prevent this. Additionally, dental care is important for Great Danes, as they are prone to dental problems. Regular teeth brushing, dental chews, and professional cleanings can help keep their teeth and gums healthy.
