No, because the great Dane is the specific name because the Dane which it was first called, is very great and big, and was named after King Dane, because he had one, and king Danes dog was named Greaty (graaatee) so they named it the Great Dane
Sorry, but the above is not correct. Great Danes originated in Germany and had nothing to do with Denmark. They were originally called Deutsche Dogge and German Mastiff. Originally bred for boar hunting but quickly became used to guard German royalty. That protectiveness is still part of their genetic structure. They became"Great Danes" only after a French writer accidently encountered one on Denmark. He called it a Great Dane and the name stuck.
