Are there miniature Great Danes?

Best Answers

I've never heard of such a breed of dog, but your question intrigued me so I did a quick Google search. There is no such official breed, but some refer to Great Danes who are smaller than average as miniature Great Danes. read more

No, Great Danes were specifically bred for their large size from other large breeds. You can't get a Great Dane in a small size. Just like you can't breed a horse-sized hamster. The genes aren't there. read more

A miniature Great Dane is simply a Great Dane that is smaller than average. The American Kennel Club and the Great Dane Club of America both recognize only one type of Great Dane, a dog standing a minimum of 30 inches high in males and 28 inches high in females. read more

There is no real miniature great danes; however, some poorer breeders' dogs may not reach the standard height and they may call them that hoping to sell them (but if you already know that it's that far off the standard, what other things are too, ie, temperment, health, etc). read more
