Duty Danes Podcasts Season 2 Episode 8: The Armor & the Appearance

from Duty Danes · host Jennifer Thompson

In this episode, we explore the physical transformation of the Great Dane from a rugged hunter to the Apollo of Dogs. We take a look back at the actual armor these dogs wore to protect themselves from wild boars and the luxury velvet and silk collars they wore as Chamber Dogs in royal estates. We also discuss how their physical breed standards have shifted over the centuries to emphasize the elegance and noble stature we recognize today.And remember, we’re healing hearts one paw at a time.
