Great Dane
Dogs resembling the Great Dane have been seen in drawings in Egyptian tombs dating back to 2200 B.C. They had shorter legs and resembled Mastiffs in body type. These types of dogs made their way to many other countries via traders. It was in Germany that the breed was further developed into the dog that we recognize today.
