A Great Dane Coat of Many Colors
Great Dane colors are highly variable. There are 7 AKC recognized colors but hundreds of variations beyond those original seven.

Much of the travel information on this blog can be applied to traveling with any dog. However, the website is called Have Dane will Travel because we travel with our Dane. In addition to pet travel information, you will find specific information about the Great Dane breed. If you are thinking about adding a one of these Gentle Giants to your family you should read “So you want a Great Dane?“. As with any dog, they become your responsibility. It is important to know what to expect when you bring a 100 pound plus dog into your home.
