Reports artwork and artifacts indicate that a dog resembling a Great Dane might have existed over 2000 years ago. It is believed that dogs similar to the Great Dane first belonged to one of the tribes of Asia called the Assyrians. They used this dog to hunt wild boar and other large game. We can be certain that the Great Dane first developed and flourished in Germany but the Great Danes origins are not entirely clear. (the Germans took the breed and refined it)
