1. The Characteristics of a Great Dane Puppy and Dog
“The Great Dane is a very big impressive dog, and one of the largest breeds there is! The average height is roughly 28 to 34 inches tall, and average weights can be from 100 to 200 pounds, with males usually being taller and heavier than the females.”
“The Great Dane is commonly referred to as the “Gentle Giant”, just like their close relative, the mastiff. They are also referred to as the “Apollo of Dogs” after a Greek God.”
“A Great Dane is such a large dog, that just likes other large size breeds, its life expectancy is that of only roughly 8 years, but it will be good times if you treat your Great Dane nicely. Teach him or her to have some good behavior!”
“The Great Dane makes excellent family pet. As long as you are aware, that most of the time a big giant size dog like a Great Dane sometimes thinks he or she is a lap dog. They will want to crawl and snuggle with you, even thou it seems like you have an elephant in the room with you sometimes!”
“The Great Dane was originally breed to hunt wild boar, but you might not know that when they are just lying around the house. The Great Dane can make a good watchdog just from their size and powerful load bark, which they hardly ever use. Great Danes would rather be friendly to perfect strangers, unless they feel their human family is being threatened, and then their instinct will take over to protect their family.”
“One of the things that stand out about Great Danes is their joints keep growing until they are about 18 months old. It is very important not to take your Great Dane out running or exercising with you, as their bones and joints need more time to grow. This could put stress on their bones and joints, so you need to wait, since they are going to be so big!”
“You would want to make sure you have plenty of room for your Great Dane to walk around and play in. Great Danes seem to be in slow motion, and that is one of the things that are so neat about them!”
“Great Danes should never be left outside in the cold. Your fence should be a minimum of 6 feet to make sure your dog stays where you want him or her to stay. The Great Dane is such a fun loving family pet, and when introduced as puppies to your family, they make such great additions, and get along so well with children.”
2. What You Should Know About Puppy Teeth
“There is no doubt about it; puppies are going to chew on things! Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth. When a puppy is roughly, 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in. All their baby teeth should be in place by roughly 8 weeks of age.”
“The puppy’s new teeth are very tiny and sharp, and will hurt your fingers when they get a hold of them. Most mothers will start to wean their babies at 5 to 6 weeks old.”
“Your puppies baby teeth will start to come out around 8 to 12 weeks of age. By roughly 8 months old, your dog’s permanent teeth should all be in. You should make sure that all baby teeth are out, so that a tooth is not left in, and another one comes in and crowds the space, and gives your dog pain. You would need to visit the vet if you see this happening.”
“Your puppy is going to want to chew on something, just like a real baby, their teeth are coming in, and they want to relieve some of the pain. It is good for them to chew, to help the teeth come thru. You would want to get some appropriate chew items to help them.”
“You could start to train your dog to have their teeth brushed. You can pick up doggie tooth supplies at your local pet store usually, and get down and dirty and brush your doggy’s teeth. Rawhide chews are an excellent source of good tooth hygiene, as they are good for your dog’s teeth, and can help take off build up plaque, and dogs usually love it also!”
“A lot of puppies and dogs end up getting human food usually from the weakest link in the family. If your dog is under the table, they usually will go to the person they think will mostly likely give them some food scraps. If you do, just remember, chocolate and some nuts can kill your dog never give chocolate. Raisins can be just as deadly for your dog, do not give, they can shut down your dog’s kidneys, so be very careful of these products and your puppy or dog.”
