Great Danes are popularly also called “gentle giants”, and rightly so! Despite their huge size and powerful build, Great Danes are known to be calm, affectionate, and friendly in nature– especially with children. This makes them a grat addition to families with kids, that live in huge houses or farms. Their laid-back nature means they’re not easily agitated, making them ideal for a chaotic household. With proper training and early socialisation, Great Danes become loyal, gentle family members who love human companionship.
