    Great Dane or Saint Bernard?

    Ok, I posted a thread that said "Which would you rather have a Great Dane or a Chihuahua". All of the answers were Great Dane.
    The people who replied said they like big dogs. So heres the question for you Great Dane or Saint Bernard?

    Great Dane I think. Maybe it's just some sort of sterotype stuck in my head, but St. Bernards drool a lot, more than great Danes. Not sure if this is true or not because I've never had either. But I don't like a lot of drool, I think it was that Beethoven movie that got it stuck in my head, but when I think of a St Bernard I think drool.

    Hmm that's a tough one. They're both really big, they both drool and they're both to big for agility equipment..one track mind at times sorry... If it was a saint bernard like the one that a friend has I would go for that but other wise probably a great dane...though if I really had to choose I probably wouldn't choose either. I like the big breeds buy much prefer the medium sized ones.

    Thanks Amy for the great sig!

    I love both breeds so much. Both are so gentle and fun loving that I'd never be able to make a choice. Gimme both!!

    How about a mix between! I've owned both - my family has at least. Some St. Bernards drool a lot more than others, and our Great Dane and other Danes I know didn't drool (except in the presence of a candy cane, in Gracie's case.)

    So maybe a St. Dane - or a Great Bernard - would be big but not drooly! Both breeds are sweet, great with kids, good at warming your feet (of the whole family) on cold mornings ...

    I can never choose bwteeen dog breeds - love 'em all for their own reasons!

    I would choose a Great Dane. Not sure why I just like them better. St Bernhards are cute too though.

    I'd have to say Great Dane because now that we've got one, I never want our house to be without one! I love this dog, she makes me feel very good about the breed, especially since everything she does I hear other dane owners say there's does too. St. Bernards are beautiful dogs and the one I met had a great temperment and was a great dog. However, I'd have to do a lot more research before I decided to get one of those. Of what I do know, they drool more than most other dogs, including the dane, and they're fur is so long and full that they shed a lot and even if they are brushed often. So, I'd definately without hesitation have to reply that I'd go with the dane!

    Actually, there were at least three people who said Chi. I said I might get a dane if I had a bigger property, but I think Stella the Chi is a perfect little canine. ^_^

    As for a Dane or a St. Bernard.......Both are too big for my taste. I guess I'd have to say Dane.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
