The Great Dane is one of the most recognizable dogs in the world. These huge pups are big, powerful, and immensely strong. While their size has made them famous, their friendly nature has also given the status as one of the more popular family dogs in America. The dog has been bred to show a variety of different colors in their fur, ranging from a beautiful brindle to a gorgeous blue, a sleek black, and even a white with black patches that are known as “harlequin.”
