We have 2 Great Danes (6mo & 2 1/2yo). We have a 2 1/2yo son AND I operate an in home daycare w/ 4 children (ranging from 1yo - 5yo). Our GDs are wonderful with the children. The children can do anything to them (i.e. pull tail, hug, kiss, run in the yard without fear of being chased, climb on) and they just stand/lie there and just don't care. Out of all the breeds, I love the GD best. They may not have the longest life span, but they are wonderful. They are loving and are the most trustworthy. If you don't mind slobbers, they are the best with 2yo's. Jennifer G.
