Great Dane dogs are not toys they are living beings. If you have children in your family, it's necessary to show them and teach them the importance of taking care of the new dog, as well as loving and respecting the new dog. This will help your children to join in the job of raising a dog. This teaches them how to love and recognize the different stages that a dog goes through during growth and integration into the family routine.
The need for sufficient space in the first time dog owner's home is a very important factor. It is true that animals usually, adapt to their living spaces – be it a house or apartment – but it's necessary for a pet to live comfortably, clean, and be able to enjoy the space that they are given. For example, you wouldn't want to put a Great Dane in a mini apartment since in a year he will weigh more than 40 kilograms and his size will double. If you do not have a garden or a park where you can take your dog out every day, you will want to consider getting a smaller dog that does not need as much vigorous exercise. The Great Dane breed specifically needs to be able to get a lot of fresh air and room to run around.
Questions to ask yourself before getting a puppy:
-What type of dog do you really want?
-Are you looking for a dog that will only bark when it is necessary?
-What is the reason you are getting the dog? Are you looking for protection, a companion, a hunting dog? Or are you looking for one you can put on your lap and hug and cuddle?
-Are you willing to put up with all the hair that is constantly going to be all over your couches, floor, and furniture?
-Are you willing to fork out the price of the grooming at least once a month?
-Is your house or living space an appropriate place for a giant dog?
-Do you live in the city or the country? This is a very important factor to keep in mind before getting a dog. There are some big breeds that can have neurosis problems if they do not have the adequate amount of space.
-What kind of personality do you have? Are you a strong tempered person? Dogs should not be yelled at, and they are not made to let your temper out on. If you choose a dominating dog, your strong character might be confronted by your dominating dog, and you could have problems. Not all dogs are submissive.
-Are you under the impression that a dog stays as clean as his owner?
These are just a few questions you should consider when thinking about getting a dog. Another very important factor is to never get a puppy or dog as an "entertainment toy" for a child. There are probably many other questions one could ask himself before getting a puppy, but they are not playing matter, and they should be deeply considered.
