HISTORY: The Great Dane is misnamed because it originated from Germany not Denmark. In fact in 1880 the German authorities insisted that it only be referred to as Deutsche Dogge following its early "adoption" by the British gentry and their subsequent change of its name! The Great Dane was much revered for its hunting prowess and regal stature. This breed of dog was probably derived from a combination of the Greyhound and some breed of Mastiff explaining its sleek lines and large size.
