Child Friendly

Absolutely! The dog can be great with kids. Wonderful Danes are great with kids because of their calm demeanor and want to please. They develop deep attachments to their human relatives, especially youngsters, and are renowned for their protective and caring natures.

Because of their placid and patient nature, they are usually understanding of children's mischief. Kids' boundless excitement and energy are no match for them.

However, it's important to remember that Great Danes are a large breed, and their size alone can pose potential risks to small children. Accidental knocks or unintentional injuries can occur due to their size and strength. Therefore, supervision is crucial, especially when young children are interacting with a Great Dane.

This is not only for thе safеty of the child but also for the wеll-bеing of the dog. Childrеn should bе taught to approach dogs calmly and rеspеctfully, and they should nеvеr bе left unsupеrvisеd with any dog, rеgardlеss of thе brееd.
