A brief presentation of the Great Danebull
When it comes to Great Danebulls, don't judge a book by its cover. These big, fierce dogs are gentle, affectionate pets. They are moderately active and love to be showered with attention. Great Danebulls can live up to 14 years and weigh between 27 and 41 kilos. At maturity, they can measure between 61 and 71 centimeters. Great Danebulls have a short, dense, smooth and glossy coat that comes in plain versions or multicolored combinations of black, white, blue, fawn, bronze, liver, red, white and brown with the possibility of harlequin, mantle, sable, merle or brindle patterns. In terms of specific large cross breeds, this one is well known but not very popular. Yet Great Danebulls can vary considerably in appearance and temperament. As a result, they are not yet recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC).

History of the Great Danebull
The Great Danebull takes its name from its parent breeds: the Great Dane and the American Pit Bull Terrier, both of which have long and interesting histories. The mating of these two parent breeds has produced a large, affectionate dog that has probably been bred since the mid-to-late 1900s. It's important to note, however, that Great Danebulls are not recognized by the AKC and breeders should be thoroughly researched if you're considering buying a puppy from them.

 

        

A little of the Great Dane

         
The Great Dane is thought to have existed since 3000 BC. Historians speculate that its population spread as a result of Assyrian traders bringing the dog back and forth along the routes to Rome and Greece. Since then, the Great Dane has had many names. In the early days, the breed was rightly called the "Boar Hound" because of its talent for hunting wild boar. In the 16th century, Great Danes were known as English Dogges in England and Kammerhunde or "chamber dogs" in Germany. In the 17th century in Denmark and France, they became known as the "Great Dane", which later became the "Great Danish Dog", and even later the Great Dane. Despite its Danish namesake, the Great Dane was refined and stabilized through the efforts of German breeders. Great Danes finally gained popularity in North America in the 1800s, and the Great Dane Club of America was founded in 1889.

A little of the American Pit Bull Terrier
The Great Danebull's other relative, the American Pit Bull Terrier, became popular in England in the early 1800s, where it was bred for dog fighting. Originally called the "Bull and Terrier", it was probably an Old English Bulldog and Terrier mix. Eventually, dogfighting was banned and the breed migrated to the USA, where American breeders sought to increase the weight and size of the dog's head. This variety became known as the Pit Bull Terrier and was recognized by the AKC in 1936. In 1972, it was renamed the American Shaffordshire Terrier, although the Pit Bull moniker remained.

Appearance of the Great Danebull
The Great Danebull is a fierce-looking animal that resembles a larger, longer American Pit Bull Terrier with Great Dane facial features. They are large, muscular dogs, weighing between 27 and 41 kilos. At maturity, Great Danebulls measure between 61 and 71 centimeters. Their coats are short, dense, smooth and glossy. There are many color varieties common to both parent breeds. These include a solid or combinations of black, white, blue, fawn, bronze, liver, red, white and brown with the possibility of harlequin, mantle, sable, merle or brindle patterns. They have rectangular heads and dark, deep-set eyes, like a Great Dane, and half-pricked or pink ears, like an American Pit Bull Terrier. This breed also has a broad, strong chest, and round, compact feet with high, arched toes.

Temperament of the Great Danebull
Despite the Great Danebull's intimidating appearance, it's a gentle, affectionate breed. It has even been known to snuggle up to people like a little companion dog. Likewise, the Great Danebull is extremely friendly to other animals and does well in multi-pet households. In fact, this breed is prone to separation anxiety if it doesn't receive enough attention and affection from those around it. What's more, its people-oriented disposition makes it eager to please. This trait, together with its high level of intelligence, makes Great Danebulls very easy to train. Yet this breed is no child's play. It has a strong protective instinct and will speak up if it perceives a threat. Great Danebulls need only a moderate amount of exercise, so it's not extremely important for them to have constant access to a large yard; frequent trips to the park or other outdoor spaces are sufficient. Because of their size, however, these dogs may do best in larger homes.

Needs and activities of the Great Danebull
Great Danebulls have an average amount of energy and require only moderate daily exercise. They enjoy short walks, romping in the park and play sessions with furry friends for 20 to 40 minutes a day. Beyond that, Great Danebulls love to lie around the house, stretched out in sunspots or close to their owners. This breed is suitable for all types of environment, although your hybrid shouldn't be over-exercised in extremely hot or cold conditions. What's more, the Great Danebull can adapt to any type of living environment as long as its needs for exercise and affection are diligently met.

Maintenance of the Great Danebull
Great Danebulls generally require only occasional light grooming. They shed moderately throughout the year and can benefit from weekly brushing, although this is not necessary. Grooming is a good way to bond with your pet, and your hybrid may enjoy the process. Great Danebulls are primarily domestic dogs, so they only need to be bathed once a month. They should, however, have their teeth cleaned daily. Beyond that, Great Danebulls should have their nails trimmed at least once a month and their ears checked regularly for wax build-up and debris to avoid infection. Note that this breed is not hypoallergenic and not suitable for owners of dogs with allergies.
