Males have a pronounced square format, females may be slightly more elongated.
The color of Great Danes is recognized as fawn (from pale gold to deep gold with a black mask), brindle (fawn background with black stripes parallel to the edges), marble (white with irregularly torn black spots), black and blue colors.
The sharply expressed instinct of the protector and guardian of the weak members of the “pack” turns the Great Dane not just into a guard – with such a nanny your child will be completely safe, the dog will never give him offense.
