Great Dane Support Thread
Started By
Our gentle giants that are a little unaware of their human's personal space. The biggest lap dog done ever did see. They're also known as the German Mastiff; Great danes are used as working dogs. Primarily guarding, their sheer size is intimidating and their booming bark strikes fear; but they're not aggressive in any way. Danes are also suited to match most lifestyles. They can be your fluffly
Color, Markings and Patterns
Brindle--The base color shall be yellow gold and always brindled with strong black cross stripes in a chevron pattern. A black mask is preferred. Black should appear on the eye rims and eyebrows, and may appear on the ears and tail tip. The more intensive the base color and the more distinct and even the brindling, the more preferred will be the color. Too much or too little brindling are equally undesirable. White markings at the chest and toes, black-fronted, dirty colored brindles are not desirable.
Fawn--The color shall be yellow gold with a black mask. Black should appear on the eye rims and eyebrows, and may appear on the ears and tail tip. The deep yellow gold must always be given the preference. White markings at the chest and toes, black-fronted dirty colored fawns are not desirable.
Blue--The color shall be a pure steel blue. White markings at the chest and toes are not desirable.
Black--The color shall be a glossy black. White markings at the chest and toes are not desirable.
Harlequin- Base color shall be pure white with black torn patches irregularly and well distributed over the entire body; a pure white neck is preferred. Merle patches are normal. No patch should be so large that it appears to be a blanket.
Eligible, but less desirable, are black hairs showing through the white base coat which give a salt and pepper or dirty appearance.
Mantle--The color shall be black and white with a solid black blanket extending over the body; black skull with white muzzle; white blaze is optional; whole white collar is preferred; a white chest; white on part or whole of forelegs and hind legs; white tipped black tail. A small white marking in the blanket is acceptable, as is a break in the white collar.
Any variance in color or markings as described above shall be faulted to the extent of the deviation. Any Great Dane which does not fall within the above color classifications must be disqualified.
Additional Colors:
Merle
Chocolate
Great Danes also come in cropped and natural ears

I'm a huge supporter of danes. I lost my dane back in September of 2011 and would love to "re-create" her here. She was a gorgeous harlequin with one bule eye and one brown. Her name was Iris.<br /> <br /> They really are one of the best breeds. She loved chillin' on the couch with me. She even had her own "couch" and if she wasn't able to get on it when she wanted to, she'd crawl behind you and shove you off. HAHAHA. She was amazing.

As an owner of two great Danes, one of which does agility, and having a great Dane fursona I fully support! Also don\'t forget brindle and fawn can come with or with out black masks and white points as well as some blues have white points there is also a lesser know lighter and darker colored fawnequin as well as the less preferred (but rather common) albino and merlequin C:

Support all the way!<br /> <br /> I love Great Danes, they're my favorite kind of dog. I'd love to see them on Ala.<br /> <br /> If they were added, as you pointed out, they're ears can be cropped. It would be a good idea to put a "crop ears" button on the dog's page, like the "dock tail" button on Aussies.
