What does a Great Dane look like?

Great Danes are known for their majestic appearance and imposing stature. Great Danes have a short, smooth coat, a large, muscular build, deep chest, and long, elegant neck. Their head is proportionate to their body, with a distinctive square-shaped muzzle and a pronounced stop. Their ears are medium in size, usually left natural or, historically, have been cropped to stand erect. However, e ar cropping is a controversial practice and has been banned or restricted in many countries due to animal welfare concerns. There is no medical reason to crop a dog’s ears, and vets do not recommend it.
