Oh he is so far!
We've had experience with Dogos, Cane Corsos, lotsa Pitbulls, we bred and showed Akitas, had a couple Bulldogs, - no problems - But the female Boerboel we have, though is the family fav of the pair, I really don't see much in, but I'll admit, she's much more of a love than the male. When she's not being fed.
Now, Danes, never been disappointed. They're like Pitbulls. Although yes there are some scarred Pits out there, the good ones are unbeatable!! We've got a girl right now who loves people so much that her excitement can scare some. She's just so wiggly and LOVES meeting new people!
Oops, forgot your Great Dane is a *he* - sorry. Yes, I was sure you have experience with other "muscle" dogs before. Don't know what you call them, but all of the above breeds are for owners with a good firm hand. Here, I don't want to be challenged by my dogs. Pretty much just lovey type dogs needed in the 'burbs. They do a darn good job keeping invading critters out of our yard though. And I know if I were threatened my Golden Retriever wouldn't hesitate to defend me.
ETA: One of the things I appreciate most about my Golden boy is that wonderful "soft" mouth of his. He once stole a cube of butter off the counter that I was going to use for baking and took it all the way downstairs to the backyard where I found it later with the
tiniest couple of little teeth indents in it. He takes treats like a gentleman. But woe to the soft toy I bring home from
Petsmart once or twice a year. He will love it for a couple of days, but then it dies a horrible death. Pieces from one side of the yard to the other.
