Great Danes are massive, not miniature horses. Usually gentle and patient with children, they can stand up to 32 inches at the shoulder. Vigilant by nature, they must adapt to home life, as their calm can shift quickly. The American Kennel Club notes they can tower over most people on hind legs. One swipe of a paw can knock down a person of any size.
