Mum tells me that Great Danes started off a long time ago in a far away place called Europe. We were bred to hunt wild boar! Whoah. So I guess our natural habitat would be in a cold place running through mountains and forests…
We have a different theory though. Me and Luna reckon that Great Danes were bred to be beach dogs. Why?
- We have very short hair which makes it easy to get the sand off later.
- Short hair means we don’t get too hot or weighed down in the water when we are swimming.
- We are big! Which makes running in the sand and leaping up and down big dunes really easy.
- Being big makes it easier to keep up with our humans when they are playing in the surf, we can touch the bottom so we can stay out longer as we don’t get tired having to swim the whole time!
- We LOVE the beach!! It’s our favourite place in the whole wide world.
