I have a great dane, I got her at the age 3 months. Great danes love to chew, they will chew couches, walls, shoes, clothes, and welll anything haha.
they are agile and careful when ADULTS, but as puppies they are clumsy and always hurting themselves.

Their tails are like weapons and their nails grow VERY fast. Dont crop the ears if your pup is older then 2 months old.

I would suggest spaying or neutering right away so your Dane gets bigger. Great danes have to be shown who is boss, if they think they are Alfa they will take advantage of it.

Dont think anything is safe on a high shelf because a male great dane can reach up to 5 1/2 ft standing streight on its hind legs.

They eat like there is no tomorrow as puppies, up to 8-9 cups a day as a puppy. As an adult they eat 4-5 cups a day.
When feeding the water and food bowl must be at the dogs chest level so they dont gulp air and twist their stomachs.

you cannot ride a great dane because their backs are very weak, and so is their hips.
