I'd have to agree with malinois. The way the coat lays around different parts of the body just seems more malinois-like. It actually reminds me of my friend's greyhound with the twist in the coat on the front legs. Very cat-like feet too like a malinois. You never know with a mix though unless the shelter knew the parents. There actually aren't too many features that stand out as great dane to me either.
I'm not meaning to be mean to the dog or you by this. He's got the potential of every other dog out there to be a perfectly fine companion and your best friend. Its great that you found a rescue dog that you connected with. I just want you to know that he may not exactly be a mix of the two breeds you expect unless the shelter knows for sure, so don't make all of your judgements throughout his life based on the breeds you think he is.
