Australian Shepherd

Australian Shepherds are tireless, high-energy dogs and are one of the world’s best herding breeds. They are highly intelligent and very responsive to training.

Like French Fries, you might expect the Australian Shepherd to reign from Australia. But, like French Fries, they’re not. The progenitor of the Aussie is the Pyrenean Shepherd. The Pyrenean Shepherd hails from the Pyrenees Mountain region between France and Spain, home to the indigenous Basque people. Escaping centuries of regional conflicts, some Basque found their way to Australia where they crossed their Pyrenean Shepherds with a variety of imported British breeds to enhance their herding capabilities.

On the move again, some Basque found their way to the United States west coast later in the 19th century. California ranchers instantly fell in love with this new breeds’ amazing herding traits and high intelligence…and an assumption they were from Australia. A better name for this breed might have been, the American Shepherd.

Trainability Grade: B

Early socialization and obedience training are tremendously beneficial for the Australian Shepherd. Aussies frequently end up in rescue situations when the dog can’t constructively channel it’s boundless energy. Aussies develop a strong bond to their families and can be territorial and overprotective of their owners and property. They can become destructive if left without companionship for long periods of time. Fortunately, that loyalty combined with keen intelligence makes them very easy to train.

Violet is an American Pit Bull Terrier from Powell, Ohio and is a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-week Basic Dog Obedience Training Camp. Great work, Violet!

American Pit Bull Terrier

A dog with an identity crisis…and they don’t care.

The American Pit Bull Terrier, or Pitbull, or Pit Bull Terrier, or Pit Terrier, or Pit Bull, or American Bull Terrier. They also take “Pitties”, Pit, Half-and-Half, Bull Baiter Dogs, Old Family Dog, Yankee Terrier and Rebel Terrier (well, maybe not this year).

Likewise, national and international dog registries vary on categorizing this breed. The Pit Bull is commonly mistaken with the American Staffordshire Terrier. The American Kennel Club and Continental Kennel Club do not recognize the breed. The United Kennel Club (UKC), however, lists the Pit Bull as dog #1 on it’s registry and the UKC is reported to have started as an organization because the AKC dissed the Pit Bull.

Pit Bulls can’t even get good press. While commonly fingered for other breeds, or mixed breeds, mis-deeds, some bad pack leaders take advantage of the Pit Bull’s exceptional skills for dog-fighting purposes, some of which make national news.

That’s a shame. In addition to their versatility, Pit Bulls make tremendous family pets that are eager to please, fun-loving and great with children. In fact, the UKC states the Pit Bull may not be the best guard dog choice as they are extremely friendly and highly unlikely to show aggression towards humans.

Trainability: B
Pit Bulls are highly intelligent, eager to please and responsive to training. They are a high-energy dog with an instinct to chase after any species that’s not human. This can be problematic on walks or in other social settings. But with lots of exercise and a little training, they make a fine addition to the pack.

Labradoodle

Doodling in the Lab

In the 1980’s, a guide dog breeder in Australia received a request from a blind woman in Hawaii. Labrador Retrievers are a natural and common guide dog given their loyalty, trainability and pleasing disposition with humans, children and other animals. But the woman’s husband was allergic to Labrador Retrievers.

The breeders original attempts revolved around poodles since their non-shedding coats were more tolerable to people with allergies. Unsuccessful, he finally crossed the poodle with a Labrador Retriever. While technically not hypoallergenic, the husband could tolerate this new hybrid breed and they adopted one of the pups.

Meanwhile, there were two other pups still in the litter and he was having difficulty finding homes for them since they “crossbreeds”. With a little re-branding effort, he coined the name Labradoodle, and a star was born.

Soon, requests from around the globe came in for these adorable “designer” dogs. Their popularity skyrocketed and other breeders joined in and began to breed not just Labradoodles, but other varieties of “Doodles”.

In the United States, breeders simply kept mixing Poodles and Retrievers to keep up with demand (and keep the money coming in). This has led to inconsistancies in the litters and has kept them off the AKC breed listing. Labradoodles in the United States can vary widely in size, color, shape, size and personality. In Australia, however, an effort was sustained to maintain and develop some breed standards and today Australian Labradoodles are considered pure-bred canines in Australia.

Labrador Retriever

The planet’s favorite dog, the Labrador Retriever.

Not only are they tops in the United States, they’re the favorite breed of Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. Labrador Retriever’s are also prized as guide dogs, search and rescue, assisted living, therapy dogs and contraband detection.

Of course, the most popular gets the best press. Labrador Retrievers were the first dog to appear on the cover of Life Magazine and a United States Postal Service stamp.

But the Labrador Retriever isn’t just a pretty face. Labs were originally bred to be aquatic duck retrievers and ship mates for sailors on the cold, icy island of Newfoundland (technically, I think, the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador).

Their coat was ideally refined to restrict ice formation. Their iconic tail actually serves as a sturdy rudder for improved agility in the water.

Yet, one of their other top-5 favorite traits is the Lab’s unrivaled temperment. The fun-loving, easy-going, highly intelligent Retrievers just want to be everybody’s friend, man or beast. But despite this outward appearance, the Lab is a bundle of energy on the inside.

This sturdy breed was bred to be a worker in a rough land and they need an energy release and be included in family activities. Without enough exercise, a Lab can display undesireable and destructive behavior.

Trainability: A-
Labrador Retrievers have nearly an unmatched desire to please and become a fun-loving member of the family…uh, pack.

Read more about Labrador Retrievers at the American Kennel Club, the Labrador Club There is also a local chapter at The Central Ohio Labrador Retriever Club.

Poodle

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

With its regal appearance and fancy hairdo, at first glance the Poodle appears to be the breed destined for luxury with the nobles. That would be an underestimation.

Commonly associated with France (it is their national dog!), the Poodle lineage began over 400 years ago as a retrieving water dog in Germany. The Poodle is very athletic, an amazing swimmer, super-smart and has an acute sense of smell. It is the only non-sporting dog eligible for the AKC Retriever Hunting Tests and available in small, medium and large! (Standard, Miniature and Toy)

While it’s looks imply a super-model style regimen, the regal look has a purpose. The German duck hunters established this style to accentuate its natural swimming abilities. The legs, neck and tail were shaved for greater range of movement in the water. Un-shaved areas were meant to protect vital joints and organs from inclement weather.

Trainability Grade: B+
Eager to please and highly intelligent, Poodles are easily trained. Poodles love learning new things and enjoy agility, obedience and tracking exercises.

Read more about the Poodle at the American Kennel Club and The Poodle Club of America.

German Shorthaired Pointer

Pointer Perfect

Germany has a long tradition in dog breeding. Some consider the German Shorthaired Pointer as perhaps their finest creation.

One set of 19th century breeders set out to produce the premiere all-purpose hunting dog. Initially intended for bird hunting, the intelligent and adaptable Pointer easily transitioned to other prey as well including, rabbit, possum, raccoon and deer.

And they didn’t just point. Hunters highly prized the dog’s sturdy, yet quick, build, their nighttime abilities and amazing endurance. With webbed paws and excellent swimming ability, the Pointer was a spectacular retriever on land or water. And when the day was done, the German Shorthaired Pointer was a great watchdog and family companion.

Trainability: C+
German Shorthaired Pointer’s are highly intelligent canines that usually catch on quick. But they need something to do. This is not a breed that will phone-it-in for a casual suburban lifestyle, they require an active lifestyle with lots of exercise. They can be a little challenging up to three years in age so early socialization and training can be a great benefit.

Murphy is a Bernadoodle from Powell, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-week Overnight Basic Dog Obedience Training Camp. Nice work Murphy!

Bernadoodle

The Bernadoodle is a hybid mix between a Poodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are not an official AKC-listed breed and considered by some to be a “designer breed”. No puppies are going to be a 50-50 mix in parent traits so there can be some variance in any one Bernadoodle. Just in size alone, the Poodle is available in small, medium and large which will naturally affect the Bernadoodle’s size (10-90 pounds).

They also have levels of Bernadoodles. A Bernadoodle is mixed with a Poodle or a Bernese Mountain Dog to create a 75-25 mix.
No matter how you mix the ingredients, the Bernadoodle is made up of some pretty good canine genes and will end up with a pretty great pup.

Poodle

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

With its regal appearance and fancy hairdo, at first glance the Poodle appears to be the breed destined for luxery with the nobles. That would be an underestimation.

Trainability Grade: B+
Eager to please and highly intelligent, Poodles are easily trained. Poodles love learning new things and enjoy agility, obedience and tracking exercises.

Read more about the Poodle at the American Kennel Club and The Poodle Club of America.

Bernese Mountain Dog

Feel the Bern.

Known as the Berner Sennehund in their native Switzerland, Bernese Mountain Dogs have been a utilitarian staple on Swiss dairy farms for over 2000 years. Their descendents were brought in by invading Roman soldiers and over time developed a breed ideally suited for the Bern area farmers.

“Berners” were bred to be intelligent to perform a variety of tasks around the farm, most notably, guard dog and pulling weight, or drafting. With powerful legs and shoulders, Bernese Mountain Dogs have been known to pull many time their own weight.

Their numbers began to diminish once mechanized farming became more popular towards the end of the 19th century. But some good PR efforts by Berner fans brought the breed back and by the beginning of the 20th century had made their way to the United States. Today they rank in the top-25 most popular dogs on the AKC listing.

It’s easy to see why. While Bernese Mountain Dogs can be shy around strangers, they love the humans in their pack. They are famously good and gentle with children but are ready to crank it up a notch when playing with an adult. One job many Berners have been known to enjoy is pulling children around.

Trainability: B-
Bernese Mountain Dogs are smart, affectionate and love to be with and please their humans. They can be prone to separation anxiety and their feelings can get hurt. But if you keep it fun, you’ll have an eager partner in training.

Catahoula Leopard Dog

Only from the land of Gumbo.

The Catahoula Leopard Dog has many names, Catahoula Hound, Catahoula Hog Dog, Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog and Catahoula Cur. There’s just as many theories as to its origins.

One consistency is Catahoula, which is a lake in northern Louisiana (although some believe it could have been a translation error derived from the Choctaw tribe of the region). The other consistency is the Native American’s wolf-like canine. One thought is the Spanish crossed their Bloodhounds, Mastiffs and Greyhounds with this wolf-like dog. When the French arrived with their hounds, they were cross-bred again leading to the Catahoula.

Another theory has the American Indians doing the cross-breeding with the newly arrived Greyhounds and Molossers. Yet another had the French mix the Native American’s canine with their Beauceron breed.

No matter how you slice it, the Catahoula Leopard dog is a Louisiana original and remains so to this day, becoming the official state dog in 1979.

Similar to a few other working dogs, the Catahoula is not recognized by the AKC but is by the United Kennel Club. Like those other workers, some felt the AKC’s focus on breed physical appearance could potentially diminish it’s working skills.

Trainability: C+
The Catahoula Leopard Dog is extremely intelligent with an amazing work ethic. While not the most cuddly dog, they love their people and will be fiercely loyal to a gentle, firm-handed owner. However, this dog MUST have a job, or jobs, to do and have plenty of running room. A first-time dog owner who prefers to simply relax after work in their small apartment in a densely packed city is a recipe for disaster.

American Pit Bull Terrier

A dog with an identity crisis…and they don’t care.

Likewise, national and international dog registries vary on catagorizing this breed. The Pit Bull is commonly mistaken with the American Staffordshire Terrier. The American Kennel Club and Continental Kennel Club do not recognize the breed. The United Kennel Club (UKC), however, lists the Pit Bull as dog #1 on it’s registry and the UKC is reported to have started as an organization because the AKC dissed the Pit Bull.

Read more about the Pit Bull at the American Kennel Club and Dog Breed Info.

Boxer

The Boxer, a fighter and a lover.

The Boxers we are familiar with today got their name because of the unique way they use their front paws when fighting or playing. But they weren’t bred for playing.

As with many breeds, their earliest ancestors date back over 4000 years to the Assyrian empire when they were utilized as “war dogs”, prized for their powerful build and impressive courage. Over the centuries, they spread across the European continent and were categorized as Molossian dogs, which included any breed with a muscular build and heavy head.

By the middle ages, the German and English were refining the breeds’ hunting skills which resulted in the ancestors to the Bullenbeisser (Germany) and the Mastiff (England). Bullenbeisser’s were particularly skilled at downing and holding larger prey and became valued as a hunting pack dog.

The English continued refining the breed and eventually mixed the Mastiff with faster hounds, which produced the Great Dane. Naturally selected smaller Bullenbeissers were later mixed with the Mastiff as dog fighting became a thing, resulting in both the English Bulldog and the Boxer.

Today’s Boxers are a little smaller and would prefer to curl up with you at night after a hard day of work or exercise than battling bulls, bears and boars…go figure.

Trainability: B+
Boxers are highly intelligent, high energy and love their humans. They seem to take naturally to guarding playing children. They can be a little bouncy when playing, though, which can be hazardous to toddlers and elderly. Boxers are generally known not to get along well with other dogs, or sometimes Boxers of the same gender. A little socialization and training reveals why Boxers are one of the favorite dogs in the United States.

Read more about the Boxer at the American Kennel Club and the American Boxer Club.

Basset Hound

Follow that nose.

The French have long produced some very talented hounds…and the Basset certainly qualifies.

In 6th-century France, hunting with pack dogs was a common event. Many breeds were developed that could not only track and bring down large prey but could also keep pace with the hunters on horseback. This led to breeds like the bloodhound, a descendant of the St. Hubert Hound, who had unmatched nasal senses, stamina and long legs to give chase.

For smaller prey and those that liked to hunt on foot, though, these long-legged canines would lock on to a scent and leave their owners in the dust.

Another descendant of the St. Hubert Hound, some believe a genetic deviation, was the Basset. Outfitted with the same sensory and stamina strength as their long-legged cousins, the Basset was equally formidable in tracking smaller prey.

Defying their physical appearance and perception, Bassets were well suited for small game with thick, powerful legs that were ideal for rough terrain and a unique gate that preserved energy.

Trainability: C-
Basset Hounds are intelligent dogs that can be trained, but their breeding sometimes conflicts with suburban life. Many hunting dogs were bred with the ability to think on their own while separated from their handlers and tracking prey. Perfect in the field, this independent thinking means a little more patience might be needed when training.

Bassets make great house pets, too. They’re even keel and not high-energy so they don’t require a lot of exercise to stay healthy. While not the most affectionate dog, Bassets are extremely loyal.

Read more about the Basset Hound at the American Kennel Club and the Basset Hound Club of America.

Trainability: A-
Labrador Retrievers have nearly an unmatched desire to please and become a fun-loving member of the family…uh, pack.

Read more about Labrador Retrievers at the American Kennel Club, the Labrador Club There is also a local chapter at The Central Ohio Labrador Retriever Club.

Australian Shepherd

Australian Shepherds are tireless, high-energy dogs and are one of the world’s best herding breeds. They are highly intelligent and very responsive to training.

Trainability Grade: B

Learn more about Australian Shepherds at the American Kennel Club and The United States Australian Shepherd Association.

Border Collie

After the Romans conquered the British Isles in the first century, they brought their heavy-boned herding canines to manage their herds. Just as Roman influence in the region began to wane, Viking incursions began to spike. The Viking herder-of-choice was a smaller, quicker, spitz-style dog. Soon after, the mix of these two breeds created the highly-intelligent and relentless Border Collie.

Similar to the Australian Cattle Dog, Border Collies come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors and are highly respected for their work ethics and skills. Handlers can rely on their Border Collies to resolve stray cattle on their own even when far from the herd. Not only are they premier herders, they are equally skilled at search-and-rescue, therapy, military, and hunting environments. Likewise, they also have a number of groups working to maintain these amazing working skills.

As with other working dogs, Border Collies have an amazing amount of endurance and energy, which can be challenging in a home environment. They need lots of exercise or a job to do. Lacking that, they may devise a job on their own, and, as you can imagine, any job requiring teeth and claws is typically not good news for the average homeowner.

Trainability: C+
This may be more of a grade about environment than the Border Collie’s ability to learn. They can be loving, loyal pets and are highly intelligent with the added ability to reason on their own. Adapting to a reserved, suburban life, however, might be too much to overcome, particularly if left alone for long stretches during the day.

And even with regular, rigorous exercise, Border Collies love to herd and will try to do so with family members. They aren’t beneath nipping stray (what they consider) cattle in the hindquarters to move them back to the herd. So when grandma starts caning down the hallway by herself…

Australian Cattle Dog

Some of the dog breed names can be real head-scratchers. While a little boring and lacking in marketing appeal, this breed name is spot on.

Just as in the United States, Early 19th century European “Settlers” began to migrate westward to the Australian continent’s interior and found it ideal for raising cattle. A good working dog was in order. But, while the US interior can have challenging weather, the Australian interior can be down-right brutal for man, plant and beast.

These migrants brought their English herding dogs, Smithfields, but they were unable to adapt to the extreme weather and terrain. To boost the dog’s durability, the Smithfields were crossed with other breeds, most notably Dingos, a breed originally brought to Australia by its earliest human inhabitants, but had since formed packs and existed successfully in the wild for centuries.

While a better combination was later found using Dingos and Collies, decendents from this pairing were mixed with Dalmations to develop a breed that was more loyal and comfortable around horses. While close, ranch hands noticed a drop in this latest creations’ working ability. Finally, a dog with a respected work ethic, the Australian Kelpie, was worked into the mix to create the Australian Cattle Dog we know today.

Trainability: B

The Australian Cattle Dog is highly intelligent and a loyal pack member, but this breed is extremely high-energy and was born to work. A walk around the block won’t cut it with these dogs, they need a highly intensive workout with agility or sporting events being great options. They can be a great family pet, but be prepared to spend time with them.

You can read more about the Australian Cattle Dog at the American Kennel Club, the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America and the United Kennel Club.

Jack Russell Terrier

Will the real Jack Russell please stand?

Officially, the Jack Russell Terrier is not recognized by the American Kennel Club. They wanted to, but were stopped by the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America (JRTCA) that petitioned to maintain the exclusion and preserve the dog’s working skills and heritage.

When a dog breed is listed by AKC, they develop physical characteristics to maintain stringent breed consistency. This is desireable for most breeds, but the Jack Russell Terrier is unique.

Jack Russell’s were originally bred to hunt fox (they were even referred to simultaneously as Fox Terriers). To out-fox a fox, the original breeders worked to enhance the breed’s intelligence and stamina. As they got smarter, handlers found other jobs they could be trained to do and would themselves breed in characteristics to perform the new duties for their individual environments.

What resulted was a highly intelligent, high octane dog that could vary as much as 150% in size, be a kaleidoscope of colors with an equal variety of personalities. When the AKC inquired about listing the breed, JRTCA then stepped in fearing the breed would lose it’s hunting instinct and other skills that were so respected. The AKC agreed, but 20 years later, another attempt was made to list the breed. The AKC developed guidelines, but for a new descendent of the Jack Russells called the Parson Russell Terrier. Another descendent later became simply the Russell Terrier, and is also listed on AKC.

Trainability: C+
This may be more of a grade for the trainer than the trainee. Jack Russells are highly intelligent, but the trainer needs some experience in dog training and handling skills to be successful…and a little patience. Once they get it, though, Jack Russells will want to do it all day and with you. They’ve been known to be trained a skill only to later figure out a different, and better, way to perform it.

Jack Russells are very high energy, to the point of being referred to as hyperactive, and need an outlet. This can be challenging in a suburban or city environment. Leaving them in a fenced-in back yard is not suggested. They’re designed to out-smart foxes, so a cute picket fence really doesn’t stand a chance.

You can read more about Jack Russell Terriers at the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America.

Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dogs in the United States. Outgoing and eager-to-please, the Golden Retriever is a great family dog that loves to play and maintains a puppy-ness well into adulthood (a trait also common in human males).

Golden Retrievers were first bred in Scotland as a hunting dog better suited to the regional rugged terrain. The breeder crossed a Yellow Retriever with the now-extinct Tweed Water Spaniel with some Irish Setter and Bloodhound mixed in. When Golden Retrievers first appeared at a British Dog Show in 1908, hunters loved the dogs utility and stamina, show dog enthusiasts loved their natural beauty, and everyone loved their sweet temperament.

As a sports dog, Golden Retrievers love lots of activity and make great bike, hike and run companions.

Trainability Grade: B+

Golden Retrievers live to please their owners, are outgoing and extremely loyal making Goldens very trainable.

You can read more about Golden Retrievers at the American Kennel Club and the Golden Retriever Club of America.

Charlie is a Beagle from Powell, Ohio and a 2020 graduate of our 2-week Overnight Basic Dog Training Camp. Congrats Charlie!

Beagle

The Beagle could have probably phoned it in for a career. Happy-go-lucky attitude, big droopy ears, big brown eyes and stylish coat. They don’t drool and maintain minimal odor and shedding.

But they have a pretty good career going, too.

Beagles were bred to hunt hares. Some believe they were doing so in England as long as 2000 years ago.

A pack of Beagles were a status symbol for 16th century English hunters. Many prominent English hunters would maintain a pack of larger hounds for tracking deer and the smaller Beagles for hares. As the Beagle spread across the planet, they became the smaller version we’re familiar with today.

This smaller version became popular with foot hunters and the average citizenery as they could easily keep pace with these smaller Beagles. And still do. “Beaglers” in more remote areas of the United States still prefer the nasal capabilities, enthusiasm and musical voice of the Beagle to other hunting dogs.

Trainability: C

Beagles are at their best in an engaged group setting, whether human or animal. They are great family dogs and wonderful with children…if your family has more 17th century traits, like hunting your own dinner. Beagles are high-energy dogs that were bred to work in groups. So they’re comfortable in a family setting, however, they require group exercise and environment.

A lonely Beagle has a nose for trouble. Left alone at home for extended periods can lead to undesirable behaviors. Left alone in the back yard is a recipe for disaster, these little dogs are master escape artists. Invisible fencing is useless unless used as a backup. Fencing must be over 5 feet tall to prevent jumping and climbing with accommodations also needed to prevent tunneling.

Beagles must be leashed when walking. They have amazing nasal senses and an equally amazing desire to track that scent.

You can read more about Beagles at the American Kennel Club and the National Beagle Club.

Chihuahua

The intelligent little Chihuahua is a national symbol of Mexico and is one of the oldest breeds of the Americas. But their complete history is a mystery. Images of dogs very similar to the Chihuahua have been found on artifacts of ancient civilizations around the world.

The Aztecs are credited with creating the Chihuahua we know today. The Aztecs are believed to have refined the Techichi breed they found after over-throwing the Toltec people in the 12th century. The breed was believed lost after it’s second civilization was killed off by the Cortez invasion in the 16th century, but managed to find salvation in smaller, remote villages throughout the region.

By the time Americans became infactuated with the breed in the mid-1800’s, they had worked their way up to the northern Mexico. In their search, the Americans found a bunch of Chihuahuas just across the Texas border in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

The little Chihuahua can be fragile. Jumps from seemingly short distances can be hazardous, for instance, even stairs and furniture. Children and toddlers can also be hazardous with air-borne objects and toys to rough-housing and even food droppings all being potentially fatal.

Numerous foods and beverages can be toxic to Chihuahuas, including, fruits, vegetables, cafinated or alcoholic beverages, raw bread dough and cooked fat trimmings and chicken bones.

Chihuahuas maintain a higher metabolism than most breeds and should eat high-quality dog foods. Puppies should always have access to food to prevent hypoglycemia. The Chihuahua Club of America recommends having a nutrient supplement like, Nutri-cal, Nutri-stat or VitaCal on hand before you bring your Chihuahua puppy home. A high-stressed or under nurished Chihuahua puppy can quickly become afflicted with hypoglycemia if not closely monitored. Chihuahua puppies can also be succeptible to cold.

Trainability: B-
The Chihuahua is highly intelligent…maybe too intelligent. Quick to learn, if not careful, the trainer becomes the trainee.

Scooby is a Great Dane from Delaware, Ohio and is a graduate of the 2-week Basic Dog Obedience Training Day Camp. That deserves a Scooby snack.

Great Dane

The Great Dane presents the appearance of powerful regality. It’s muscular, chiseled form added to it’s great size is impressive as much as it is intimidating. While the Dane towers over all but one other canine, it’s heart is even bigger.

For reasons unknown, Great Dane implies a relationship to Denmark. But like many breeds, Danes trace their origins to Germany. It’s believed they were bred to hunt wild boar but were also used for other hunting excusions and effective guard dogs. They were also effective in military and police operations as formidable and fearless fighters.

The Great Dane has a confirmed existance of over 400 years with potential references dating back 8-900 years. Over this time they’ve accumulated a few names. In Germany, they’re known as Deutsche Dog, or German Dog; Latin languages referred to them as dogue or dogo; Dogge was the name in Germanic languages while England called them Mastiffs. There’s two names credited to France, Dogue Allemand, or German Mastiff, and Grand Danois. The United States got Great Dane from the English translation of Grand Danois, which in France means “Big Danish”.

Trainability: B
Great Danes have a wonderful personality and are eager to be a great pack member. Their sheer size, however, can be an issue. Direct contact with a human is a sign of affection but when something the size of a college linebacker leans into you or attempts to fit its frame within your, or a visitor’s, lap, that can present some challenges. Danes also have a tendency to pull or break from walks after catching a scent. Pack leaders must be prepared to stop a linebacker with 4-wheel-drive.
