How much does a Great Dane cost?
The price of Great Danes varies. Generally, an ordinary Great Dane without a pedigree but in good health is usually priced at around 1500-3000 yuan. If it has a pedigree and a show-grade certificate, then such a Great Dane may cost more than 10,000 yuan. Therefore, when buying a Great Dane, you must check carefully and also examine the dog's relevant pedigree certificates and documents to ensure that you can select a healthy Great Dane and avoid being cheated.
How to choose a Great Dane
1. The skull of the head is relatively flat, with a depression in the middle of the skull, and the muzzle area appears square. The eyes are medium-sized and very dark, and dogs with darker eyes are more popular. The ears are medium-sized, appropriately sized, set high at the base and folded over. The muzzle is relatively large and open.
2. The coat is short and thick, glossy, and the hair shows a brindle pattern, mainly including mustard, blue, black, or brindle markings set on a white background. The limbs are upright, the bones are strong and the body is powerful, the toes of the feet are tightly closed and arched, and the tail is relatively long and tapering, with the tip slightly curved, forming a straight line with the back when active.
3. When choosing, you can touch the dog's body with both hands to check whether the coat is soft and smooth and whether the bones are well developed and strong. In addition, you can also observe the dog's excrement to determine whether its body is healthy. The feces passed by a healthy Great Dane are mainly earthy yellow, moderate in softness and hardness, and can be picked up without staining the ground.
How to raise a Great Dane
1. Exercise: The Great Dane is a working dog breed and especially loves to run, so it is best to take it out to play often. Do not keep it cooped up in the house all the time; it definitely will not like that.
2. Keeping warm: Compared with male Great Danes, females appear gentler. The huge Great Dane likes a comfortable life, such as a warm bed, so you must mainly help them keep warm.
3. Free time: People whose work does not allow them to be away from home overnight often, or who even need to go abroad frequently, should not seek this kind of worry unless reliable relatives or friends can help care for the Great Dane's eating, drinking, and excreting.
4. Care of organs
① Joints: Great Danes grow very quickly. Rapid growth can lead to poor development of some parts. For example, poor development of the wrist joints, elbow joints, hip joints, and internal organs. These problems will affect them for their whole lives, and the pain will eventually make them unable to walk and run normally.
② Teeth: Teeth are an important tool for dogs to chew and bite food, especially hard bones. Like human teeth, when food fragments or debris remain between the teeth, it can cause bacteria to breed in the gaps between the teeth, resulting in cavities or gingivitis, affecting the dog's appetite and digestion. Therefore, the dog's teeth should be checked frequently or regularly, and any problems should be dealt with promptly.
③ Eyes: When a Great Dane suffers from eye disease, it often causes red and swollen eyelids, with a large amount of mucus or purulent discharge accumulating in the corners of the eyes. At this time, the eyes must be carefully treated and cared for. The method is to use a 2% boric acid cotton ball (cool boiled water can also be used) to gently wipe from the inner corner of the eye outward. Do not wipe back and forth on the eye. If one cotton ball is not enough, use another until the eye is wiped clean. After wiping, apply eye drops or eye ointment into the dog's eyes to eliminate inflammation.
