heightwise: Great Dane hands down.
Weightwise: I'd Say the Pyranese is equal or heavier than the dane.
Reputable breeders of great danes?
There are many out there, however to find a reputable breeder you must do some research. Here are some tips to help you find one. Don't JUST go off recommendations. I know personally of a breeder that is perceived as reputable but continues to breed her dog (and not disclose) that her dog has tested positive for DCM. (heart disease)
I found a breeder in OR (I'm in CA) that were breeding dogs from the River wood line that were showing around 10-14years of longevity and were of great health which was the most important for me.
Questions to ask:
What's the lineage history? the more the better to assess health and length of life
Any health certifications for the parents and grand parents? Then crosscheck the OFA (http://www.offa.org for certifications for hips, heart, elbows, eyes and thyroid.
How old is the female and is this her first litter? I would stay away from breeders that bred before the dog is 3yrs old (some say two years is acceptable, but up to you) What kind of environment have the puppies been exposed to? I want to know that the puppies are in a home with kids and other pets that way they're socialized right from the beginning.
What is the dogs diet? I want to know they're feeding a quality food that has all the necessary vitamins and nutrients for mom and her puppies.
At the same time the breeder should be interviewing YOU. This really shows me they truly care about the dog. Once you feel comfortable with the breeder only then go see the dog b/c once you're there it will be almost impossible for you to leave empty handed should you discover you have a concern.
How much food does a great dane need pre day?
This will depend on the quality of food you feed your Dane. Less quality foods have more 'fillers' and there for require you feed more. I feed a higher quality Innova foods and feed my guy 5-5.5 cups per day. I feed two meals a day.
Why does my 10 month old dalmatian rip things around the house?
Ah the joys of puppyhood. Dalmatians are a very "needy" breed. When they are bored they are quick to destruct anything in site. I'd suggest finding a toy that he/she likes to chew(rawhide bone, pig ears, kong, squeaky toy, softy, etc.) and when you can't supervise him/her put her/him in her/his place with his toy (preferably in a kennel or crate-- we have their "dog room") and let him/her stay there. By giving them their own space with their own things the puppy is less likely to distroy your things.
Danes are giant dogs. A full grown Dane can be around 40 inches tall at their shoulder and can weigh as much as 150 pounds
What is the average size of a great dane?
Danes are giant dogs. Adult male danes can grow as tall as 4 feet and weigh around 150 pounds or more. Female danes are a few inches shorter than the males and weigh around 20-25 pounds lesser than them
I know someone who has one which is 37 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs 205 pounds. That is not the biggest one.
Does any one know where an English Mastiff mixed with a Great Dane breeder is?
No but I honestly would not recommend this crossing of breeds as the heavier dog the Dane is crossed with the more pressure it puts on the heart, Danes have very small hearts compared to their size in pure breed Danes..... plus the lower eye lid will sag and cause problems in the dogs eyes. If you want a large dog go for an Neapolitan Mastiff
Where ever he wants to in our house! They are a very loving breed and thrive on human company. Midge (my Dane) is my shadow - where ever I go he goes without exception. Love him to bits, he is 10 this July.......
